ISO/TC 211

ISO/TC 211 is a standard technical committee formed within ISO, tasked with covering the areas of digital geographic information (such as used by geographic information systems) and geomatics. It is responsible for preparation of a series of International Standards and Technical Specifications numbered in the range starting at 19101.

Project specification areas within the ISO/TC 211 technical committee include:
 * Simple features access
 * Reference models
 * Spatial and temporal schemas
 * Location-based services
 * Metadata
 * Web feature and map services
 * Classification systems

The ISO/TC 211 work is closely related to the efforts of the Open Geospatial Consortium, and the two organizations have a working arrangement that often results in identical or nearly-identical standards often being adopted by both organizations.
