ISO/TC 211 remembers 2000

We signed a co-operative agreement with DGIWG, the Defence Geospatial Information Working Group, who remain a valuable user & contributing partner

We held a workshop on registering geodetic parameters, the start of the ISO Geodetic Register now recognised as part of the UN’s Global Geodetic Reference Frame

We published our first two formal documents:

• ISO/TR 19121:2000 Geographic information — Imagery and gridded data, in October.
        This formed the basis of WG6’s work and is now being revised.
• ISO 19105:2000 Geographic information — Conformance and testing, in November.
        Our first ‘full standard’.

ISO 19105 has influenced the structure of all TC 211 standards since as well as OGC specifications – grouping requirements into classes and requiring an Abstract Test Suite. It has made a great contribution to making our standards almost “SMART ready”. We published a revised edition in 2022.
