Geographic information – Terminology

Standard specifies requirements for the development of terminological entries in the field of geographic information. Its scope covers the development of concepts, the content and drafting of terminological entries, and the presentation of terminological records. It also includes guidelines for the cultural and linguistic adaptation of terminological entries based on the provisions of ISO 10241-2, Terminological entries in standards – Part 2: Adoption of standardized terminological entries.

This document applies the provisions of ISO 19135-1, Geographic information – Procedures for item registration – Part 1: Fundamentals to the registration of geospatial concepts. A schema for the establishment of multilingual terminology registers is provided. The provisions of ISO 19135-1 regarding the management and maintenance of registers are also applied.

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 19104:2016, Geographic information – Terminology.
