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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19110:2005), which has been technically
revised. It also replaces ISO 19110:2005/Amd1:2011. Annex G explains how to transform feature
catalogues from the first edition to this revised version.

Introduction
Geographic features are real-world phenomena associated with a location relative to the Earth, about
which data are collected, maintained, and disseminated. Feature catalogues defining the types of
features, their operations, attributes, and associations represented in geographic data are indispensable
to turning the data into usable information. Such feature catalogues promote the dissemination,
sharing, and use of geographic data through providing a better understanding of the content and
meaning of the data. Unless suppliers and users of geographic data have a shared understanding of the
kinds of real-world phenomena represented by the data, users will be unable to judge whether the data
supplied are fit for their purpose.
The availability of standard feature catalogues that can be used multiple times will reduce costs of data
acquisition and simplify the process of product specification for geographic datasets.
This document provides a standard framework for organizing 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.
Geographic features occur at two levels: instances and types. At the instance level, a geographic feature
is represented as a discrete phenomenon that is associated with its geographic and temporal coordinates
and may be portrayed by a particular graphic symbol. These individual feature instances are grouped
into classes with common characteristics: feature types. It is recognized that geographic information is
subjectively perceived and that its content depends on the needs of particular applications. The needs
of particular applications determine the way instances are grouped into types within a particular
classification scheme. ISO 19109 specifies how data shall be organized to reflect the particular needs of
applications with similar data requirements.
NOTE The full description of the contents and structure of a geographic dataset is given by the application
schema developed in compliance with ISO 19109. The feature catalogue defines the meaning of the feature
types and their associated feature attributes, feature o
