Framework for harmonized DS Metadata Framework for describing data ISO/TC 211 International Organization for Standardization – ISO

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world's largest developer and publisher of International Standards – more than 17 000 so far!

ISO is a network of the national standards institutes of 157 countries, one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system.

ISO is a non-governmental organization that forms a bridge between the public and private sectors. ISO/TC 211 ISO/TC 211 Geographic information/Geomatics

ISO Technical Committee 211, Geographic information/Geomatics, is developing a suite of standards for geographic information that forms a basis upon which geomatics – the modeling of the earth – can be performed. The ISO process for standardizing provides an open, consensus based public method for establishing standards. ISO/TC 211 The goal of ISO/TC 211...

... is to develop a family of international standards that will

z support the understanding and usage of geographic information z increase the availability, access, integration, and sharing of geographic information, enable inter-operability of geospatially enabled computer systems z contribute to a unified approach to addressing global ecological and humanitarian problems z ease the establishment of geospatial infrastructures on local, regional and global level z contribute to sustainable development ISO/TC 211 Who are we ? ... member list

INSPIRE – a European example

Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) was published in the official Journal on the 25th April 2007. The INSPIRE Directive entered into force on the 15th May 2007. ISO/TC 211

Annex 1 data: Annex 3 data: – statistical units Inspire – coordinate reference – buildings systems themes –soils – geographical grid –land use syst. – human health and safety – geographical names – utility and government services – administrative units – environm. monitoring facilities –addresses – production and industrial facilities – cadastral parcels – agriculture and aquaculture facilities – transport networks – population distribution - demography –hydrography – area management/restriction/regulation zone and reporting units – protected sites – natural risk zones – atmospheric conditions Annex 2 data: – meteorological geographicall features –elevation – oceanographic geographical features –sea regions –land cover – bio-geographical regions – orthoimagery – habitats and biotops –energy resources –geology –species –mineral resources ISO/TC 211 Data specifications in INSPIRE

A long range of ISO 19100- series standards normative ISO/TC 211 Application domains e.g.

Classifications and Land Cover Classification – ISO 19144 – Part 1 and Part 2

Land Administration Domain Model – ISO 19152 ISO/TC 211 New challenge • Our planet is a complex, dynamic system that continuously undergoes changes • So how and with what certainty can we know that the earth’s climate is changing, and at what speed? • How can we establish whether this rate of change is increasing or decreasing, or whether it is due to natural variability or human influence (anthropogenic variability)? ISO/TC 211 Terrestrial ECVs

River discharge Water use Permafrost FAPAR

Lake levels Snow cover Albedo Leaf area index

Ground water Glaciers and ice caps Land cover Biomass

Fire disturbance ISO/TC 211 International standard for addresses • Liaison has been established with the Universal Postal Union • Initiative is taken to investigate the requirement for an international standard for addresses ISO/TC 211 Summary

ISO/TC 211 has the tools, methods, and processes to • describe the semantics, structures and quality aspects of geographic information • describe the metadata • encode data and visualize them for a variety of user communities • in short, the basic standards needed for any spatial data infrastructure ISO/TC 211 Summary • ISO/TC 211 is constantly prepared to take on new work as required by user communities, e.g. because of – new domain requirements – new research – new technologies • ISO/TC 211 needs to co-operate with all its members to continously monitor the dynamic, changing requirements of all communities ISO/TC 211 Thank you !
