NZS ISO 19119:2025
Geographic information – Services
Standard provides a framework for platform-neutral and platform-specific specification of services that can enable users to access, process, and manage geographic data from a variety of sources, potentially for various distributed computing platforms (DCPs). It has defined a set of requirements and related abstract tests for the specification of services according to enterprise, computational, information, engineering, and technology viewpoints and defined a set of requirements for categorising services according to service taxonomies. Service contracts including service-level agreements (SLAs) are currently not specified as part of this standard, as these are considered most relevant for service deployment and service ownership, which is not currently a focus for this standard.
The standard was considered for adoption by the P4815 Identical Adoption of Geographic Information Standards and Technical Specifications Committee. The adoption of this standard maintains continuity with the ISO 19100 series and alignment with Australia for trans-Tasman consistency.
This standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO 19119:2016, Geographic information – Services.
