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).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.
This first edition of ISO 19135-1 cancels and replaces ISO 19135:2005, which has been technically revised.
ISO 19135 consists of the following parts, under the general title Geographic information — Procedures
for item registration:
— Part 1: Fundamentals
— Part 2: XML Schema Implementation
ISO 19135-1:2015(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 19135 specifies procedures for the registration of items of geographic information.
ISO/IEC JTC 1 defines registration as the assignment of an unambiguous name to an object in a way
that makes the assignment available to interested parties. Items of geographic information that may
be registered are members of object classes specified in technical standards such as those developed
by ISO/TC 211.
NOTE In this International Standard, the definition of registration has been changed so that registration is
the assignment of linguistically independent identifiers, rather than names, to items of geographic information.
Registration of items of geographic information offers several benefits to the geographic information
community. Registration
a) supports wider use of registered items both by providing international recognition to the fact that
such items conform to an ISO International Standard and by making them publicly available to
potential users,
b) provides both immediate recognition to extensions of an International Standard and a source for
updates to that International Standard during the regular maintenance cycle,
c) may provide a single mechanism to access information concerning items that are specified in
different standards,
d) provides a mechanism for managing temporal change,
NOTE Items specified in a standard or in a register may change over time either due to changes in
technology or for other reasons. Published standards do not clearly document what changes may have
occurred, and do not include information about earlier versions of specified items. Such information can be
maintained in a register.
e) may be used to make sets of standardized tags available for encoding of registered items in
data sets, and
f) supports cultural and linguistic adaptability by providing both a means for recording equivalent
names of items used in different languages, cultures, application areas and professions and a means
for making those equivalent names publicly available.
This part of ISO 19135 specifies procedures to be followed in preparing and maintaining registers
of items of geographic information. Any organization may choose to establish registers of items of
geographic information that conform to this part of ISO 19135. Annex C is particularly applicable to
registers established under the auspices of ISO/TC 211.
A goal of this part of ISO 19135 is to achieve a balance between minimizing the number of registers for
items of geographic information and minimizing the burden on the registration authorities.
Following experience of setting up registers in user communities, there are fewer requirements in this
version than previously. Because of this, implementations of the previous edition of ISO 19135 should
be conformant to this part of ISO 19135. A log of changes from the previous version (ISO 19135:2005) is
provided in Annex F.
The level of abstraction for the UML model described in ISO 19135-1 is the “Abstract Schema level”
according to ISO 19103 requirement 4.

Geographic information — Procedures for item
registration —
Part 1:
Fundamentals
1 Scope
This part of ISO 19135 specifies procedures to be followed in establishing, maintaining, and publishing
registers of unique, unambiguous, and permanent identifiers and meanings that are assigned to items of
geographic information. In order to accomplish this purpose, this part of ISO 19135 specifies elements
that are necessary to manage the registration of these items.
2 Conformance
2.1 General
This part of ISO 19135 defines three conformance classes for registers:
— Core schema – the minimum requirements for establishing, maintaining, and publishing registers;
— Extended schema – additional requirements to be conformant to the most frequently used model
elements in the previous edition (ISO 19135:2005);
— Hierarchical register.
To conform to this part of ISO 19135, a register of items of geographic information shall satisfy all of
the requirements specified in one of the three conformance levels described in 2.2 to 2.4, with the
corresponding abstract test suite given in Annex A.
2.2 Core conformance class

UML Unified Modelling Language
4.3 Notation
The conceptual schema specified in this part of ISO 19135 is described using the Unified Modelling
Language (UML) (ISO/IEC 19505), following the guidance of ISO 19103.
By convention within ISO/TC 211, in earlier versions of standards, the names of UML classes, with
the exception of basic data type classes, include a two-letter prefix that identifies the standard and
the UML package in which the class is specified. For newer versions of ISO/TC 211 standards, this
convention is no longer applied. In this part of ISO 19135, the two letter prefix of “RE” applies for classes
that are continued from the previous edition. Classes and packages new to this edition do not use an
abbreviation.
Several model elements used in this schema are specified in packages specified in other ISO/TC 211
standards, as shown in Table 4.

5 Roles and responsibilities in the management of registers
5.1 General
Several organizations play a role in the management of a register (Figure 1). The roles and their
relationships are illustrated as a conceptual model using UML notation.
NOTE Although they are not organizations, register and registry are included in Figure 1 because they are
the basis of the roles played by the organizations included.
4 © ISO 2015 – All rights reserved

ISO 19135-1:2015(E)
For some simple registers, several roles may be handled by the same organization. For example, the role
of the control body could be handled by the register manager. It is up to each register to give a more
detailed description of the management of roles.

5.2 Register owner
A register owner is an organization that
a) has established one or more registers, and
b) has primary responsibility for the management, dissemination and intellectual content of those
registers.
ISO 19135-1:2015(E)
Requirement 1.   The register owner shall set terms and conditions regarding different levels of access to the
register and making the contents available to the public. In addition, the register owner shall specify the time
period in which the approval process shall be completed.
Requirement 2.   The register owner shall appoint a register manager (5.3). A register owner may serve as the
register manager for any register that it has established or it may appoint another organization to serve as the
register manager.
Requirement 3.   The register owner shall decide whether a control body (5.5) is required for the register
and if so appoint the control body. The register owner may serve as the control body for any register that it has
established or it may delegate that role to a subgroup within the organization or to the register manager.
Requirement 4.   A register owner shall specify the criteria that determine which organizations may act as
submitting organizations (5.4).
Requirement 5.   The register owner shall clarify the process for a submitting organization to appeal deci-
sions of the control body (if such a body is appointed). The register owner may establish a procedure for such a
process. The specification of this procedure shall include appropriate time limits for completion of the process.
An alternative solution may be for a submitting organization to resubmit a new proposal with changes or a
better justification.
5.3 Register manager
5.3.1 Appointment of a register manager
A register owner may delegate the role of register manager to another organization. This is the usual
case for registers established by ISO or IEC Technical Committees. A register manager may manage
multiple registers.
5.3.2 Responsibilities of a register manager
Requirement 6.   A register manager shall manage a register in conformance with Clause 6.
Requirement 7.   Upon request, the register manager shall distribute an information package containing a
description of the register and how to submit proposals for changes to the content of the register. The informa-
tion package shall describe what proposed changes to the content may be considered to be substantive (6.3.1).
Requirement 8.   The register manager shall accept proposals from submitting organizations and manage the
proposals as specified in 6.4. The register manager shall pass proposals to the control body (5.5) for decisions
as to acceptability and shall serve as the point of contact between the control body and the submitting organi-
zation for negotiations regarding changes to the proposal.
Requirement 9.   The register manager shall determine whether a submitting organization is qualified in
accordance with the criteria established by the register owner.
5.4 Submitting organizations
A submitting organization is an organization that is qualified under criteria determined by the register
owner to propose changes to the content of a register.
6 © ISO 2015 – All rights reserved

ISO 19135-1:2015(E)
5.5 Control body
A control body is a group of technical experts appointed by a register owner to decide on the
acceptability of proposals for changes to the content of a register (Clause 7, Clause 8, and Annex B). A
control body may not be required for simple registers.
Requirement 10.   If a control body is appointed, it shall accept proposals from the register manager and ren-
der a decision regarding each proposal within the time limits specified by the register owner.
5.6 Registry manager
A registry manager is a person or an organization responsible for the day-to-day management of a
registry. A register manager may engage a third-party service provider to perform this service.
Requirement 11.   A registry manager shall ensure the integrity of any register held in the registry (6.8) and
shall provide means for electronic access to the registry for register managers, control body members, and
register users.
5.7 Register user
Register users access a registry in order to use one or more of the registers held in that registry.
Register users include any person or organization interested in accessing or influencing the content of a
register. Users have a variety of requirements from registered data:
— developers of standards and specifications want to re-use items specified in a register;
— data producers want to use in their products items specified in a register;
— data users want to understand the meaning of register items;
— system developers want to provide a capability to use register items in data production, interchange,
or consumption.
Register users may have different levels of access to the register as defined by the register manager.
Register users vary in the frequency of access they need, from the occasional data user who may need
to determine the meaning of a register item on a very infrequent basis, to the data producer who may
need to use values from a register many times a day.
Requirement 12.   Register managers shall consider the requirements of different categories of users in
selecting methods for publishing the content of a register (Clause 7, Clause 8, and B.2).
6 Management of registers
6.1 Establishment of registers
Any organization may establish a register. A register established by an ISO Technical Committee (TC)
or Subcommittee is an ISO register. In establishing registers, ISO Technical Committees are required
to follow the general rules specified in the ISO/IEC Directives, but may develop detailed rules and
procedures to satisfy their own requirements.
Establishment of ISO/TC 211 registers is described in Annex C.
Requirement 13.   Every register shall have a technical document describing the item classes to be registered.
ISO 19135-1:2015(E)
6.2 Status of register items
Requirement 14.   Items shall be individually managed, moving through a set of well-defined states. Informa-
tion about the temporal history of each item shall be maintained.
Normally only the valid, superseded, and retired items are exposed when the contents of a register are
made available to the public. Invalid items may also be exposed. Proposed and unaccepted items are
part of the approval mechanism and are only required for management of the register.
An item in a register has a period of validity that begins on the date on which the proposal to register
the item was accepted and ends on the date on which a decision to supersede, retire, or invalidate the
item has been made. Although retired, superseded, and invalid items are no longer valid for use in the
production of new data, they are kept in the register to support the interpretation of data produced
before their retirement, supersession, or invalidation
NOTE This does not imply that use of an unregistered item specified in a standard is somehow “invalid”
until the item is registered. However, a reference using an item identifier can apply only to the specification of a
register item.
Geographic information concepts represented in a register may change over time due to changes in
requirements or technology, or for other reasons. By defining a series of items of the same item class,
each with associated dates of validity, a register can identify how a particular concept has changed over
a period of time.
Requirement 15.   If an item is superseded by another item, the date the succession occurred shall be cap-
tured, along with references to and from the item that superseded it. At any given time, only one item in the
series shall be “valid” (see 7.5.2).
6.3 Change of status of register items
6.3.1 General
Submitting organizations may make requests to add or modify register items. Modifications are of two
kinds: simple clarifications that cause no substantive change to an item (6.3.3) and substantive changes.
6.3.2 Addition
Addition is the insertion into a register of an item that describes a concept not described by an item
already in the register.
6.3.3 Clarification
Clarifications correct errors in spelling, punctuation, or grammar.
Requirement 16.   A clarification shall not cause any substantive semantic or technical change to a registered
item.
Requirement 17.   Clarification shall be accomplished by updating the existing item in the register. The clari-
fication shall be recorded with a justification of the change and the date on which the register transaction was
made.
6.3.4 Invalidation
Requirement 18.   If an item in a register is found to have substantive error, it shall be removed from the reg-
ister entirely or it shall be left in the register, have its status changed to invalid, have a reference to the item(s)
that replaced it, and have the date when the register transaction was made.

ISO 19135-1:2015(E)
6.3.5 Retirement
Submitting organizations may submit requests for retirement of registered items that are no longer
