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 19111 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics, in close
collaboration with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19111:2003), which has been technically
revised.

ISO 19111:2007(E)
Introduction
Geographic information contains spatial references which relate the features represented in the data to
positions in the real world. Spatial references fall into two categories:
⎯ those using coordinates;
⎯ those based on geographic identifiers.
[4]
Spatial referencing by geographic identifiers is defined in ISO 19112 . This International Standard describes
the data elements, relationships and associated metadata required for spatial referencing by coordinates. It
describes the elements that are necessary to fully define various types of coordinate systems and coordinate
reference systems applicable to geographic information. The subset of elements required is partially
dependent upon the type of coordinates. This International Standard also includes optional fields to allow for
the inclusion of non-essential coordinate reference system information. The elements are intended to be both
machine and human readable.
The traditional separation of horizontal and vertical position has resulted in coordinate reference systems that
are horizontal (2D) and vertical (1D) in nature, as opposed to truly three-dimensional. It is established practice
to define a three-dimensional position by combining the horizontal coordinates of a point with a height or depth
from a different coordinate reference system. In this International Standard, this concept is defined as a
compound coordinate reference system.
The concept of coordinates can be expanded from a strictly spatial context to include time. ISO 19108
describes temporal schema. Time can be added as a temporal coordinate reference system within a
compound coordinate reference system. It is even possible to add two time-coordinates, provided the two
coordinates describe different independent quantities.
