Overview
ISO 19150-2:2015/Amd 1:2019 is an important amendment to the international standard on geographic information ontology, specifically focusing on rules for developing ontologies using the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this amendment refines and clarifies practices to enhance semantic interoperability in geographic information systems (GIS).
This standard plays a crucial role in guiding developers and organizations in creating consistent, reusable, and interoperable ontologies tailored for geographic data. By integrating OWL with concepts from SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System), it supports advanced data sharing and knowledge management across diverse geospatial systems.
Key Topics
Ontology Development in OWL
The standard emphasizes strict rules for designing ontologies with OWL, ensuring clear semantic definitions for geographic concepts and their relationships.Code List Implementation
A key correction in Amendment 1 involves the construction of codelists as OWL classes, SKOS ConceptSchemes, and SKOS Collections. This provides a structured way to represent controlled vocabularies or code sets with precise annotations.Semantic Annotation
Each ontology resource must be annotated with labels (rdfs:label) and source definitions (rdfs:isDefinedBy). This guarantees transparency and traceability for ontology elements.Integration of OWL and SKOS
The amendment clarifies how OWL classes relate to SKOS concepts and collections, using properties likedct:isFormatOf,skos:inScheme, andskos:memberfor semantic consistency.RDF Serialization Examples
Practical RDF/Turtle and RDF/XML examples illustrate compliant implementations of codelists and ontologies, guiding developers on correct syntax and meaningful structure.
Applications
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Enables standardized ontology development to improve data sharing and integration across GIS platforms, enhancing geographic data analysis and decision-making.Semantic Web and Linked Data
Facilitates publishing and connecting geographic ontologies on the web using OWL and SKOS, supporting more intelligent retrieval and interoperability in linked data ecosystems.Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) Development
Supports creation of interoperable ontologies vital for SDI initiatives, promoting harmonized metadata and semantic clarity for geographic datasets.Knowledge Management in Geomatics
Provides a framework for organizing geospatial concepts and vocabularies systematically, aiding knowledge transfer and reuse in geomatics research and industry.Standards Compliance for Software Tools
Guides vendors in implementing ontology modeling tools and GIS software to comply with international best practices, enhancing cross-platform compatibility.

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).
