ISO/TC 211 remembers 2001 & 2002

We continued our geographic spread of meetings: Cape Town (South Africa), Reston (USA), Lisbon (Portugal), Adelaide (Australia)

Two new advisory groups: Outreach, and Harmonized Model Maintenance Group.
Consistency between our standards has always been an important aim.

Published:

  • ISO/TR 19120 Functional standards, which we withdrew in 2019.
          Something we’ve only done four times (apart from when the contents was merged
          into another standard).
  • ISO 19101 Reference model, a basic platform for most of the committee’s work.
         Placing it in the context of the then commonly used Reference Model for Open
         Distributed Processing. This was extended with a Part 2 for Imagery in 2008 and is
         now ISO 19101-1:2014 and -2:2018. We recognise the need to update it;
         we need a volunteer to lead the work!
  • ISO 19108 Temporal schema, a rare foray into a neighbouring subject.
          We don’t recommend this now that there are other established ISO standards for 
          representing time, for example ISO 8601 Date and time format
  • ISO 19113 Quality principles, now absorbed into our very successful ISO 19157
          Data quality, that had a new edition published in 2023 and will feature a quality
          measure register (part 3) soon.
