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 19135:2005(E)
Introduction
This International Standard 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 International Standard specifies procedures to be followed in preparing and maintaining registers of items
of geographic information. Although any organization may choose to establish registers of items of geographic
information that conform to this International Standard, this International Standard is intended particularly to
apply to registers established under the auspices of ISO/TC 211.
A registration authority is an organization authorized by ISO to maintain a register. ISO discourages the
proliferation of registers, but the maintenance of a single large register places a heavy burden on the
registration authority. A goal of this International Standard is to achieve a balance between minimizing the
number of registers for items of geographic information and minimizing the burden on the registration
authorities.

Geographic information — Procedures for item registration
1 Scope
This International Standard 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 International Standard specifies elements of
information that are necessary to provide identification and meaning to the registered items and to manage
the registration of these items.
2 Conformance
2.1 Introduction
To conform to this International Standard, a register of items of geographic information shall satisfy all of the
conditions specified for one of the conformance classes described below.
2.2 General conformance
Any register that claims conformance to this International Standard shall satisfy all of the conditions specified
in the abstract test suite for general conformance (Annex A.1).
2.3 Hierarchical registers
Any hierarchical register that claims conformance to this International Standard shall satisfy all of the
conditions specified in the abstract test suite for general conformance (A.1) and shall, in addition, satisfy the
conditions specified in the abstract test suite for hierarchical registers (A.2).
2.4 Registers established by ISO/TC 211
Any register established by ISO/TC 211 shall satisfy all of the conditions specified in the Abstract Test Suite
for general conformance (A.1), and shall in addition satisfy all of the conditions specified in the abstract test
suite for registers established by ISO/TC 211 (A.3).

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

hierarchical register
structured set of registers for a domain of register items, composed of a principal register and a set of

scheme.

5 Roles and responsibilities in the management of registers
5.1 Introduction
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. This model is not intended to be implemented in
software and data, but as a set of organizations and the interactions between them.
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.
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.
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 (5.3). A register owner shall specify the criteria that
determine which organizations may act as submitting organizations (5.4) to propose changes to the content of

the register. A register owner may serve as the control body (5.5) for any register that it has established, or it
may delegate that role to a subgroup within the organization or to the register manager that it has appointed to
manage that register. The register owner shall establish a procedure to process appeals by submitting
organizations of decisions made by the control body of a register. The specification of this procedure shall
include appropriate time limits for completion of the process.
The register owner shall specify the time interval for reports from the register manager that describe the
proposals received and the decisions taken since the last report. The register owner shall set terms and
conditions for making the contents of the register available to the public.
In the case of a hierarchical register (7.1.4), the register owner shall coordinate the establishment of
subregisters by other organizations.
