1 Scope
This document establishes a standard registration and maintenance mechanism for the
registration of ISO 19150‑4-conformant geographic information service ontologies.
This document makes use of ISO 19135‑1 whenever appropriate.
This document does not define semantics operators or rules for ontologies, and does
not develop any application ontology.
In relation to ISO 19101‑1:2014, 6.2, this document defines and formalizes the following purposes of the ISO geographic
information reference model:
-
— geographic information service components and their behaviour for data processing purposes over the Web; and
-
— OWL ontologies to cast ISO/TC 211 International Standards to benefit from and support the Semantic Web.
In relation to ISO 19101‑1:2014, 8.3, this document addresses the Application:Procedural foundation of the ISO geographic
information reference model.
