International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Vol XXXV, Part B4. Istanbul 2004 
Geographic Information Science; to define the 
boundaries between Geographic Information Science 
and other related disciplines and professions; to specify 
the technologies and tasks pertaining to Geographic 
Information Science. To establish skill sets and 
competency levels for technologists, professional staff 
and management in the field. To research the 
relationship between this initiative and other similar 
certification processes performed by existing 
professional associations; to develop a plan for the 
accreditation of candidate institutions and programs, 
for the certification of individuals in the workforce, and 
for collaboration with other professional bodies. 
ISO 19123 Schema for coverage geometry and 
functions: Definition of a standard conceptual schema 
for describing the spatial characteristics of coverages. 
ISO 19124 Imagery and gridded data components: To 
standardize concepts for the description and 
representation of imagery and gridded data in the 
context of the ISO 15046 suite of standards. This 
includes new work on the following aspects of such 
data: Rules for application schemas, Quality principles 
and Quality evaluation procedures, Spatial reference 
systems, Visualization, and Exploitation services. The 
work will also identify aspects of existing parts of the 
family of standards that need to be expanded to address 
imagery and gridded data. New metadata elements will | 
be defined using the extension mechanism of ISO 
15046-15. Methods of encoding imagery and gridded 
data will be identified for inclusion in ISO 15046-18. 
19125-1: Geographic information - Simple feature 
access - Part 1: Common architecture and 19125-2: 
Geographic information - Simple feature access - Part 
2: SQL option: They will provide an implementation 
specification for the SQL environment conformant 
with the Simple feature access; specify an SQL schema 
that supports storage, retrieval, query and update of 
simple geospatial feature collections; establish an 
architecture for the implementation of feature tables; 
define terms to use within the architecture; apply to 
both SQL Components and SQL with Geometry Types 
Components; describe a set of SQL Geometry Types 
together with the SQL functions on those types; and not 
attempt to standardize any part of the mechanism by 
which the Geometry Types are added to and maintained 
in the SQL environment. 
19125-3 Simple feature access - Part 3: COM/OLE 
option: It will provide an implementation specification 
for the COM/OLE environment conformant with the 
Simple feature access - SQL ISO 19125; specify a 
COM/OLE schema that supports storage, retrieval, 
query and update of simple geospatial feature 
collections; establish a architecture for the 
126 
implementation; and define terms to use within the 
architecture; 
ISO 19126 Profile - FACC Data Dictionary: This 
International Standard is a profile. It is based on rules 
and methods defined in ISO CD 19110 Feature 
cataloguing methodology, in the context of DGIWG. It 
defines a Data Dictionary and includes the definition of 
Features and Attributes only, which may be of use to 
the wider international community. 
[SO 19127 Geodetic codes and parameters: To develop 
a Technical Specification on geodetic codes and 
parameters that defines rules for the population of 
tables of geodetic codes and parameters and identifies 
the data elements required within these tables, in 
compliance with ISO 19111, Geographic information - 
Spatial referencing by coordinates, and makes 
recommendations for use of the tables. These 
recommendations should address the legal aspects, the 
applicability to historic data, the completeness of the 
tables, and a mechanism for maintenance. 
ISO 19128 Web Map server interface: It will describe a 
Web Map Server (or just Map Server). A Map Server 
can do three things. It can produce a map; answer basic 
queries about the content of the map; and tell other 
programs what maps it can produce and which of those 
can be queried further. 
ISO 19129 Imagery, gridded and coverage data 
framework: To standardize concepts for the description 
and representation of imagery, gridded and coverage 
data in the context of the ISO 19100 series of standards 
This New Work Item Proposal is for a Technical 
Specification to define the framework for imagery, 
gridded and coverage data and those elements that 
require standardization that are not identified in other 
ISO 19100 standards. 
ISO 19130 Sensor and data models for imagery and 
gridded data: It will specify a sensor model describing 
the physical and geometrical properties of each kind of 
photogrammetric, remote sensing and other sensors 
that produces imagery type of data, and define a 
conceptual data model that specifies, for each kind of 
sensor, the minimum content requirement and the 
relationship among the components of the content for 
the raw data that was measured by the sensor and 
provided in an instrument-based coordinate system, to 
make it possible to geo-locate and analyze the data. 
19131 Data product specifications: It will provide 
requirements for the specification of geographic data 
products. These will include the application schema, 
spatial and temporal referencing systems, quality and 
data capture and maintenance processes.
