Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 19116 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.

Introduction
0.1 General
Positioning services are among the processing services identified in ISO 19119. Processing services include
services that are computationally oriented and operate upon the elements from the model domain, rather than
being directly integrated in the model domain itself. This International Standard defines and describes the
positioning service. Other services in this domain are coordinate transformation, metric translation, format
conversion, semantic translation, etc.
Positioning services employ a wide variety of technologies that provide position and related information to a
similarly wide variety of applications, as depicted in Figure 1. Although these technologies differ in many
respects, there are important items of information that are common among them and serve common needs of
these application areas, such as the position data, time of observation and its accuracy. Also, there are items
of information that apply only to specific technologies and are sometimes required in order to make correct
use of the positioning results, such as signal strength, geometry factors, and raw measurements. Therefore,
this International Standard includes both general data elements that are applicable to a wide variety of
positioning services and technology specific elements that are relevant to particular technologies.

Figure 1 — Positioning services interface allows communication of position data for a wide variety of
positioning technologies and users
Modern electronic positioning technology can measure the coordinates of a location on or near the Earth with
great speed and accuracy, thereby allowing geographic information systems to be populated with any number
of objects. However, the technologies for position determination have had neither a common structure for
expression of position information, nor a common structure for expression of accuracy. The positioning-
services interface specified in this International Standard provides data structures and operations that allow
spatially oriented systems, such as GIS, to employ these technologies with greater efficiency by permitting
interoperability among various implementations and various technologies.
ISO 19116:2004(E)
This interface may be applied to communication among any of the components of systems that generate and
use position information. Such systems may incorporate an instrument providing position updates to one or
more position-using devices for data processing, storage, and display. For example, a navigation display
system may include recording functions that store the history of a vehicle’s movement, processing tools that
compute guidance updates along a planned course relying on stored waypoints, and a display device that
provides the navigator with current position, computed guidance information, and cartography from stored
coordinate information. This International Standard specifies an interface that carries position and related
information among any of these components, and should be sufficient for communication between the position
providing device and any connected position using device
