Geographic information - Cross-domain vocabularies (ISO 19146:2010)
ISO 19146:2010 defines a methodology for cross-mapping technical vocabularies that have been adopted by industry-specific geospatial communities. It also specifies an implementation of ISO 19135 for the registration of geographic information concepts for the purpose of integrating multiple domain-based vocabularies.
Geoinformation - Themenübergreifendes Vokabular (ISO 19146:2010)
Diese Internationale Norm definiert eine Methodik für die gegenseitige Abbildung von Fachvokabularen, die von industriell ausgerichteten Geoinformationsgemeinschaften angewendet werden. Darüber hinaus legt sie eine Implementierung von ISO 19135, Geographic Information — Procedures for item registration, zur Registrierung von Geoinformationskonzepten für die Integration von Vokabularen aus mehreren Bereichen fest.
Methodiken zur Entwicklung von Ontologien und Taxonomien mit Bezug zu Geoinformation und Geomatik liegen außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieser Internationalen Norm.
Information géographique - Vocabulaires interdomaines (ISO 19146:2010)
L'ISO 19146:2010 définit une méthodologie de mise en correspondance des vocabulaires techniques adoptés par les communautés géospatiales sectorielles. Elle spécifie également une mise en place de l'ISO 19135 pour l'enregistrement de concepts d'informations géographiques en vue de l'intégration de plusieurs vocabulaires liés au domaine.
Les méthodologies de développement des ontologies et taxonomies liées aux informations géographiques et à la géomatique n'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application de l'ISO 19146:2010.
Geografske informacije - Interdisciplinarni slovarji (ISO 19146:2010)
Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje metodologijo za medsebojno vzporejanje tehničnih slovarjev, ki so bili sprejeti s strani industrijsko specifičnih geoprostorskih skupnosti. Prav tako določa izvajanje ISO 19135 za registracijo konceptov geografskih informacij z namenom strniti slovarje, osnovane na več področjih. Metodologije za razvoj ontologij in taksonomij, ki so povezane z geografskimi informacijami in geomatiko, niso znotraj področja uporabe tega mednarodnega standarda.

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.

Introduction
A common language is an essential prerequisite to effective communication. However, a simple knowledge of
a language's vocabulary is insufficient to ensure communication integrity. A word can have several meanings
depending on the context in which it is used. Similarly, a concept can be referenced by several words, each
communicating a different connotation or level of emphasis.
The issues associated with the correct use of language extend far beyond day-to-day communication. Every
field of endeavour, from engineering to cookery, has its own technical language and vocabulary. In order to
participate in discussions on a subject, it is necessary to understand both the subject's terminology and the
context in which it is to be used. The imprecise use of technical or professional language (for example, by
using two terms interchangeably when, in fact, they have distinctly different connotations) gives rise to the
same traps and dangers associated with the inappropriate use of a spoken language.
This International Standard establishes a methodology for cross-mapping technical vocabularies that have
been adopted by industry-focussed geospatial communities (for example, geospatial communities supporting
the transport or utilities industries). The processes relate to the unique identification of concepts and ensuring
the existence of monosemic relations between concepts and designations. The methodology aims to ensure
the consistent use of cross-mapping processes when associating disparate geospatial vocabularies and
identifying synonyms.
It is not the objective of this International Standard to define an ontology or taxonomy for geographic
information and geomatics. Its purpose is to provide rules for ensuring consistency when implementing cross-
mapping processes. The rules, however, have been developed with regard to taxonomic and ontological
concepts and with a view to enabling semantic interoperability. Their application to vocabulary cross-mapping,
therefore, can be expected to provide input to any future ontology/taxonomy initiatives.
This International Standard applies the provisions of ISO 19135 to the registration of geospatial concepts. An
online register of cross-mapped terminology entries, conforming to the requirements of ISO 19135, is
associated with this International Standard. Administrative arrangements for the population and maintenance
of the online register are beyond the scope of this International Standard. However, the provisions of
ISO 19135 relating to the maintenance of registers apply.
This International Standard adopts terms and concepts that are taken from UML and terminology theory and
practice. A cross-mapping between the two terminologies can be found in ISO/TR 24156:2008.
