Geographic information - Spatial referencing by geographic identifiers

Defines the conceptual schema for spatial references based on geographic identifiers. It establishes a general model for spatial referencing using geographic identifiers and defines the components of a spatial reference system It also specifies a conceptual scheme for a gazetteer. Spatial referencing by coordinates is addressed in AS/NZS ISO 19111. However, a mechanism for recording complementary coordinate references is included in this document. Enables producers of data to define spatial reference systems using geographic identifiers and assists users in understanding the spatial references used in data sets. It enables gazetteers to be constructed in a consistent manner and supports the development of other standards in the field of geographic information. Applicable to digital geographic data, and its principles may be extended to other forms of geographic data such as maps, charts and textual documents. Identical to ISO 19112:2019
