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 19109 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.

Introduction
Any description of reality is always an abstraction, always partial, and always just one of many possible
“views”, depending on the application field.
The widespread application of computers and geographic information systems (GIS) has led to an increased
use of geographic data within multiple disciplines. With current technology as an enabler, society’s reliance on
such data is growing. Geographic datasets are increasingly being shared and exchanged. They are also used
for purposes other than those for which they were produced.
To ensure that data will be understood by both computer systems and users, the data structures for data
access and exchange must be fully documented. The interfaces between systems, therefore, need to be
defined with respect to data and operations, using the methods standardized in this International Standard.
For the construction of internal software and data storage within proprietary systems, any method may be
used that enables the standardized interfaces to be supported.
An application schema provides the formal description of the data structure and content required by one or
more applications. An application schema contains the descriptions of both geographic data and other related
data. A fundamental concept of geographic data is the feature.
