Introduction
  • Canada has three decades of history in
    standardization in geographic information
  • Sharing and using geographic information
    appropriately has always been a concern of the
    Canadian geographic information community
  • CCOGIF (Canadian Council on Geomatics Interchange
    Format)
  • MDIF (Map Data Interchange Format)
  • DIGEST (Digital Geographic Exchange Standard)
  • S57 (formerly DX-90, hydrography)
  • SAIF (Spatial Archive and Interchange Format)
  • ISO19100
  • National and North American Profiles of the
    ISO19100 suite of standards
  • Canadian standardization activities in GI
    (CGSB-CoG) are harmonized with international
    activities at ISO/TC211

4
ISO/TC 211
  • Started in 1994
  • From a Canadian initiative
  • To develop a family of international standards on
    geographic information
  • Canadian participation is led by the Canadian
    Advisory Committee to ISO/TC211 (CAC-ISO/TC211)

5
Why GI International Standards?
  • To support the understanding and usage of
    geographic information
  • To increase the availability, access,
    integration, and sharing of geographic
    information, i.e. to enable interoperability of
    geospatially enabled computer systems and data
  • To support the establishment of geospatial data
    infrastructures at local, regional and global
    level
  • To contribute to a unified approach to address
    global, ecological, and humanitarian problems
  • To contribute to sustainable development

6
Scope of ISO/TC 211
  • Aims to establish a structured set of standards
    for information concerning objects or phenomena
    that are directly or indirectly associated with a
    location relative to the Earth
  • May specify, for geographic information, methods,
    tools and services for data management (including
    definition and description), for acquiring,
    processing, analyzing, accessing, presenting and
    transferring such data in digital/electronic form
    between different users, systems and locations
  • Shall link to appropriate standards for
    information technology and data where possible,
    and provide a framework for the development of
    sector-specific applications using geographic data

Special groups
  • Advisory group on strategy
  • HMMG Harmonized Model Maintenance Group -
    harmonisation des modèles UML
  • Advisory group on outreach
  • JAG - ISO/TC211 / OGC Joint Advisory Group
  • TMG - Terminology maintenance group
  • Task force to support convergence between
    relevant ISO/TC 204 and ISO/TC 211 projects
  • Task force to support convergence between
    relevant JTC 1/SC 24 and ISO/TC 211 projects

11
Cooperation
  • Why ?
  • common objectives
  • similar work programmes
  • complementary approaches
  • joining resources gives strength
  • avoiding inconsistent standards - de jure / de
    facto / industrial
  • and more

12
Cooperation
has led to establishment of cooperative
agreements betweenISO/TC 211 and liaison
organizations
