IEC SRD 63476-1:2024 provides a gap analysis on ontology relevant standards for smart city systems to be used as a base document for mapping, developing and maintaining a set of ontology standards for smart city systems.
Ontology is becoming a key subject in the world of big data, AI, IoT, and smart city system standards. The following benefits of ontology are recognized as important with respect to interoperability, connectivity, traceability of digital content, particularly machine readability, executability and interpretability of digital content for decision making and actions.
- Increase interoperability across domains.
- Enable machine-readable code for computational reasoning and decision making.
- Create semantic linkages between data, information and knowledge systems.
- Build accessible APIs and semantic linkages between web-based data objects.
- Link data domains with shared concepts or canonical data models.
- Connect shared data concepts and definitions between domains.
However, ontology has a variety of definitions in different international standards. How to understand different meanings of ontology and select the right definition for the right stakeholders’ concerns for the right purposes is a big challenge for effective integration of business, data, information, knowledge and decision making, across disciplines, domains, systems, platforms and applications in smart cites. Moreover, how to deal with the grand challenges of interoperability of many and various ontologies to satisfy the demands from artificial intelligence and big data analytics are gaps to be filled in the area of smart city systems. How to develop digital content that is machine readable, executable and interpretable, working in the system without human effort for a smart city system are emerging needs to be studied. There are significant demands for better communication, coordination, cooperation, collaboration and connectivity of existing ontology standards to smart cities practical sectors. This document aims:
• to identify existing ontology standards from different Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) and to provide best practice examples and considerations of ontology standards development and maintenance for smart city systems;
• to identify gaps in existing ontology standards for smart city systems and the opportunities and challenges in ontology standards development taking into account multi-dimensional and muti-domain stakeholders’ concerns city wide, and to provide recommendations for ontology standards development and maintenance to enable integration, interoperability, efficiency and effectiveness of smart city systems.

This standard gives guidance on establishing a decision-making framework for sharing data and information services in smart cities. It covers: a) types of data in smart cities; b) establishing a data sharing culture; c) data value chain – roles and responsibilities; d) purposes for data use; e) assessing data states; f) defining access rights for data; and g) data formats/format of transportation. This standard aims to support the sharing of data and information services within cities. For some cities there will also be a need to establish specific data sharing agreements, particularly where data is being shared by multiple organizations at once. This standard supports a transparent approach to making decisions and creating specific data sharing agreements in order to fully realise the benefits and value of data and information services in a city. Missing data or misinterpretation of data can lead to the wrong actions being taken by city decision-makers. A decision-making framework for sharing data can help ensure that they have the best overall data on which to base decisions. This standard does not cover: a) national security issues; b) good practice for use of data by the citizen; c) existing interoperability agreements between cities; d) defining application programming interfaces (API) networks; or e) any data sharing rules and regulations specific to a particular jurisdiction. It is assumed that a security-minded approach to data sharing is used by cities. NOTE 1 Further details on the areas not covered in this standard, including information on relevant standards publications, are given in Annex A. This standard is for use by decision-makers in smart cities from the public, private and third sectors. It is also of interest to any city organization wishing to share data.

IEC SRD 63320-1:2023 In recent years, research on the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and cities, focused on imagining the future of urban planning, has been one of the most interesting topics in the industry. Smart urban planning (SUP) for smart cities is a relatively new concept and has not received much attention around the world. The “smartness” of urban planning describes the intensive use of digital technologies to optimize the urban planning process. The concept of "smart city" has been implemented and developed all over the world. In order to construct a smart city successfully, knowing how to implement SUP for smart cities is essential, because it is the foundation of smart urban construction. However, at present, reaching a consensus on the overall architecture of standards of SUP for smart cities is still challenging.
This part of IEC SRD 63320 explains the definition, development goals and theoretical models of smart urban planning use case collection and analyses. This document identifies the key application areas of smart urban planning and determines the stakeholders and the relationships among them in the guidance of use case template.

This document provides recommendations and requirements to project developers, decision-makers and managers responsible for authorising, promoting, financing, planning, designing, procuring, managing, reviewing and implementing a project or programme. The recommendations and requirements aim to ensure that a project or programme adds value by aligning its development and implementation with a community’s own or externally directed sustainability strategies and objectives and the requirements of ISO 37101. This document supports both a top-down approach, where the community has implemented ISO 37101 and expects the developers to meet the standard’s requirements, as well as a bottom-up approach, where the developer wants to meet the ISO 37101 framework principles whether the community has or has not implemented the standard. In both situations, it is recognised that implementing this document ensures that the project will contribute holistically to the sustainability of the community. This document: — recognises that there are several types of communities and stakeholder organisations that are charged with implementing ISO 37101; — offers practical guidelines to all types of developers on initiating, planning, implementing, monitoring, managing and continually improving sustainable development activities for a specific project or programme at all its stages in a way that is both inclusive and holistic and in accordance with ISO 37101; — in referencing the six sustainable development goals (SDGs) of ISO 37101, establishes a framework for the evaluation of the relevance of a project or programme in the context of the sustainable development of a community, the community’s strategy and objectives, its management capacity, and its management systems for quality, the environment, health and safety, and governance; — supports mainstreaming the actions and interactions of a multitude of independent decision makers to enhance the global impact on sustainable urban development that results from a wide variety of urban strategies, plans and programmes.

ISO 37101:2016 establishes requirements for a management system for
sustainable development in communities, including cities, using a holistic
approach, with a view to ensuring consistency with the sustainable development
policy of communities.
The intended outcomes of a management system for sustainable development in
communities include:
· managing sustainability and fostering smartness and resilience in
communities, while taking into account the territorial boundaries to which it
applies;
· improving the contribution of communities to sustainable
development outcomes;
· assessing the performance of communities in progressing towards
sustainable development outcomes and the level of smartness and of resilience
that they have achieved;
· fulfilling compliance obligations.
ISO 37101:2016 is intended to help communities become more resilient, smart
and sustainable, through the implementation of strategies, programmes, projects,
plans and services, and demonstrate and communicate their achievements.
ISO 37101:2016 is intended to be implemented by an organization designated by
a community to establish the organizational framework and to provide the
resources necessary to support the management of environmental, economic and
social performance outcomes. A community that chooses to establish the
organizational framework by itself is considered to constitute an organization
as defined in ISO 37101:2016.
ISO 37101:2016 is applicable to communities of all sizes, structures and
types, in developed or developing countries, at local, regional or national
levels, and in defined urban or rural areas, at their respective level of
responsibility.
ISO 37101:2016 can be used in whole or in part to improve the management of
sustainable development in communities. Claims of conformity to ISO 37101:2016,
however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an
organization's management system for sustainable development in communities and
fulfilled without exclusion.

ISO 37101:2016 establishes requirements for a management system for
sustainable development in communities, including cities, using a holistic
approach, with a view to ensuring consistency with the sustainable development
policy of communities.
The intended outcomes of a management system for sustainable development in
communities include:
· managing sustainability and fostering smartness and resilience in
communities, while taking into account the territorial boundaries to which it
applies;
· improving the contribution of communities to sustainable
development outcomes;
· assessing the performance of communities in progressing towards
sustainable development outcomes and the level of smartness and of resilience
that they have achieved;
· fulfilling compliance obligations.
ISO 37101:2016 is intended to help communities become more resilient, smart
and sustainable, through the implementation of strategies, programmes, projects,
plans and services, and demonstrate and communicate their achievements.
ISO 37101:2016 is intended to be implemented by an organization designated by
a community to establish the organizational framework and to provide the
resources necessary to support the management of environmental, economic and
social performance outcomes. A community that chooses to establish the
organizational framework by itself is considered to constitute an organization
as defined in ISO 37101:2016.
ISO 37101:2016 is applicable to communities of all sizes, structures and
types, in developed or developing countries, at local, regional or national
levels, and in defined urban or rural areas, at their respective level of
responsibility.
ISO 37101:2016 can be used in whole or in part to improve the management of
sustainable development in communities. Claims of conformity to ISO 37101:2016,
however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an
organization's management system for sustainable development in communities and
fulfilled without exclusion.

This document establishes an approach and methodology for a country-based mechanism to channel climate finance to subnational authorities to support climate change adaptation and to increase local resilience thereby contributing to the achievement of the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The country-based mechanism uses performance-based climate resilience grants (PBCRGs) which ensure programming and verification of climate change expenditures at the local level, offering strong incentives for performance improvements in enhanced resilience. This document provides requirements and guidelines and is applicable to organizations such as national and subnational authorities, donors, companies, financial institutions and international organizations that are involved in implementing a country-based mechanism for channelling climate finance to subnational authorities to support climate change adaptation and resilience. NOTE Another mechanism for supporting local adaptation is by direct support at the local level by donors without any financial flows from national government.

This document describes and specifies the requirements of a simplified Sustainability Nanomanufacturing Framework (SNF) for sustainability management in Nanomanufacturing Pilot Lines (NPLs), appropriate to their size, management capabilities and sustainability priorities.
The SNF sets up the basic requirements for a screening methodology to quicky assess the sustainability of a NPL. It provides guidance for diagnosis, implementation, and monitoring, to proactively improve nano-sustainability performances in NPLs, considering its sustainability management and results.
The model can be used by NPLs to achieve its intended outcomes in the field of nano-sustainability.
The SNF is intended to be applied to any NPL regardless of its size, type and activities. Similarly, the model could be scaled to manage the sustainability of a manufacturing area/plant that integrates multiple NPLs.
This document can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve the sustainability in NPLs.
