NZS ISO 19110:2025

Geographic information – Methodology for feature cataloguing

Standard provides a standard framework for organising and reporting the classification of real-world phenomena in a set of geographic data. Any set of geographic data is a greatly simplified and reduced abstraction of a complex and diverse world. A catalogue of feature types can never capture the richness of geographic reality. However, such a feature catalogue should present the particular abstraction represented in a given dataset clearly, precisely, and in a form readily understandable and accessible to users of the data.

This document enables the multilingual description of application schemas compliant with AS/NZS ISO 19109:2006, Geographic information − Rules for application schema. It goes further to provide a mechanism enabling a single global description of some properties occurring many times in an application schema and a binding of those global properties to the corresponding feature types.

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 19110:2016, Geographic information – Methodology for feature cataloguing.
