Introduction
The widespread application of computers and use of geographic information systems (GIS) have led to the
increased analysis of geographic data within multiple disciplines. Based on advances in information
technology, society’s reliance on such data is growing. Geographic datasets are increasingly being shared,
exchanged, and used for purposes other than their producers’ intended ones. GIS, remote sensing,
automated mapping and facilities management (AM/FM), traffic analysis, geopositioning systems, and other
technologies for Geographic Information (GI) are entering a period of radical integration.
This International Standard provides a framework for developers to create software that enables users to
access and process geographic data from a variety of sources across a generic computing interface within an
open information technology environment.
“a framework for developers” means that this International Standard is based on a comprehensive,
common (i.e. formed by consensus for general use) plan for interoperable geoprocessing;
“access and process” means that geodata users can query remote databases and control remote
processing resources, and also take advantage of other distributed computing technologies, such as
software delivered to the user's local environment from a remote environment for temporary use;
“from a variety of sources” means that users will have access to data acquired in a variety of ways and
stored in a wide variety of relational and non-relational databases;
“across a generic computing interface” means that ISO 19119 interfaces provide reliable communication
between otherwise disparate software resources that are equipped to use these interfaces;
“within an open information technology environment” means that this International Standard enables
geoprocessing to take place outside of the closed environment of monolithic GIS, remote sensing, and
AM/FM systems that control and restrict database, user interface, network and data manipulation
functions.

6 Overview of geographic services architecture
6.1 Purpose and justification
The definition of service includes a variety of applications with different levels of functionality to access and
use geographic information. While specialized services will appropriately remain an area for proprietary
products, standardization of the interfaces to those services allows interoperability between proprietary
products. Geographic information system and software developers will use these standards to provide general
and specialized services that can be used for all geographic information. The approach of this International
Standard is integrated with the approaches being developed within the more general world of information
technology.
The geographic services architecture specified in this International Standard has been developed to meet the
following purposes:
provide an abstract framework to allow coordinated development of specific services;�
enable interoperable data services through interface standardization;�
4 © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 19119:2005(E)
support development of a service catalogue through the definition of service metadata;�
allow separation of data instances and service instances;�
enable use of one provider's service on another provider's data;�
define an abstract framework which can be implemented in multiple ways.�
This International Standard extends the architectural reference model defined in ISO 19101, in which an
Extended Open Systems Environment (EOSE) model for geographic services is defined.
6.2 Interoperability reference model based on ISO RM-ODP
This International Standard is developed based on a system architecture approach to system design known
as the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing; see ISO/IEC 10746. Architecture is defined as a set
of components, connections and topologies defined through a series of views. The geographic infrastructure
enabled by this International Standard will have multiple users, developers, operators and reviewers. Each
group will view the system from their own perspective. The purpose of architecture is to provide a description
of the system from multiple viewpoints. Furthermore, architecture helps to ensure that each view will be
consistent with the requirements and with the other views.
Table 1 shows how the RM-ODP viewpoints are utilized in this International Standard.
Table 1 — Use of RM-ODP viewpoints in this International Standard
Viewpoint Definition of RM-ODP Viewpoint How viewpoint is addressed in this
Name (ISO/IEC 10746-1:1998) International Standard
enterprise a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment This is available in other parts of the
viewpoint that focuses on the purpose, scope and policies for that ISO 19100 series of standards, e.g.,
system reference model (ISO 19101).
computational a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 7, computational viewpoint.
viewpoint that enables distribution through functional
decomposition of the system into objects which interact
at interfaces
information a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 8, information viewpoint.
viewpoint that focuses on the semantics of information and
information processing
engineering a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 9, engineering viewpoint.
viewpoint that focuses on the mechanisms and functions required
to support distributed interaction between objects in the
system
technology a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 10 technology viewpoint; also to
viewpoint that focuses on the choice of technology in that system be addressed by platform-specific service
specifications.
The enterprise viewpoint is concerned with the purpose, scope and policies of an enterprise or business and
how they relate to the specified system or service. An enterprise specification of a service is a model of that
service and the environment with which the service interacts. It covers the role of the service in the business
and the human-user roles and business policies related to the service.
The computational viewpoint is concerned with the interaction patterns between the components (services) of
the system, described through their interfaces. A computational specification of a service is a model of the
service interface seen from a client, and the potential set of other services that this service requires to have
available, with the interacting services described as sources and sinks of information.
© ISO 2005 – All rights reserved 5
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 19119:2005(E)
The information viewpoint is concerned with the semantics of information and information processing. An
information specification of an ODP system is a model of the information that it holds and of the information
processing that it carries out.
The engineering viewpoint is concerned with the design of distribution-oriented aspects, i.e., the infrastructure
required to support distribution. An engineering specification of an ODP system defines a networked
computing infrastructure that supports the system structure defined in the computational specification and
provides the distribution transparencies that it defines. ODP defines the following distribution transparencies:
access, failure, location, migration, relocation, replication, persistence and transaction. Security may also be a
mechanism.
The technology viewpoint describes the implementation of the ODP system in terms of a configuration of
technology objects representing the hardware and software components of the implementation. It is
constrained by cost and availability of technology objects (hardware and software products) that would satisfy
this specification. These may conform to platform-specific standards that are effectively templates for
technology objects.
In the computational and information viewpoint clauses of this International Standard, specific approaches that
shall be followed for defining geographic information services are provided. For the engineering and
technology viewpoints, this International Standard defines how a particular service shall be mapped on to an
implementation technology, such as SQL-3/ODBC, ODMG, CORBA, DCOM/OLE, Internet or similar
technology.
6.3 Service abstraction
This International Standard defines the approach to defining services that shall be used in the ISO 19100
series of standards. Figure 1 defines the relationship between the various types of service specifications.
SV_ServiceSpecification defines services without reference to the type of specification or to its implementation.
A SV_PlatformNeutralServiceSpecification provides the abstract definition of a specific type of service but
does not specify the implementation of the service. Service types are given in the geographic service
taxonomy in 8.3. SV_PlatformSpecificServiceSpecification defines the implementation of a specific type of
service. There may be multiple platform-specific specifications for a single platform-neutral specification.
SV_Service is an implementation of a service. The requirements for these specifications are addressed in this
International Standard, in particular in Clause 10.

Figure 1 — Abstract and implementation service specifications
6.4 Interoperability
Interoperability is the capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional
units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those
units.
Two components X and Y (see Figure 2) can interoperate (are interoperable) if X can send requests R for
services to Y, based on a mutual understanding of R by X and Y, and if Y can similarly return mutually
understandable responses S to X.
Figure 2 — Interoperability
This means that two interoperable systems can interact jointly to execute tasks. For the geographic domain,
the following description of the term “geographic interoperability” is applicable:
© ISO 2005 – All rights reserved 7
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO 19119:2005(E)
“Geographic interoperability” is the ability of information systems to 1) freely exchange all kinds of spatial
information about the Earth and about the objects and phenomena on, above, and below the Earth’s surface;
and 2) cooperatively, over networks, run software capable of manipulating such information.
The ODP viewpoint abstraction provides a framework for describing a system at several abstraction levels. In
this International Standard, interoperability is viewed in terms of the different abstraction levels provided by
RM-ODP. This International Standard focuses, from different viewpoints, on how semantic and syntactic
interoperability of geographic metadata and geographic data can be supported.
When two different organizations have independently developed distributed systems, each can be described
according to the RM-ODP viewpoints, and interoperability between the systems can be discussed with respect
to each of the five RM-ODP viewpoints.
For each interoperability aspect, a distinction is made between syntactical interoperability and semantic
interoperability. Syntactical interoperability assures that there is a technical connection, i.e. that the data can
be transferred between systems. Semantic interoperability assures that the content is understood in the same
way in both systems, including by those humans interacting with the systems in a given context.
6.5 Use of other geographic information standards in service specifications
A service specification shall include relevant information models from the appropriate geographic information
standards in the ISO 19100 series. The corresponding UML models shall be used in the definition of the
service interfaces as appropriate.
6.6 Architecture patterns
An architecture pattern expresses a fundamental structural organization or schema for software services. It
identifies a set of services, specifies their responsibilities, and includes rules and guidelines for organizing the
relationships between them. Services, implemented by classes and objects, may use design patterns but this
level of detail is outside the scope of this International Standard.
The Table 2 provides a listing of the elements of a pattern. When specific architecture patterns are defined in
this International Standard, these elements shall be used.
Table 2 — Elements of a pattern
Element of a pattern Description of element
Name The name is a word or short meaningful phrase that describes the pattern. The name is
extremely important, since it is used to reduce communication overhead. Nicknames or
synonyms may be provided.
Problem This is a statement of the problem which describes its intent, goals and objectives it wants
to reach within the given context and forces. Often the forces oppose these objectives as
well as each other.
Context Context defines the preconditions under which the problem and its solution seem to recur,
and for which the solution is desirable. This defines the pattern's applicability. It can be
thought of as the initial configuration of the system before the pattern is applied.
Forces The forces are considerations that must be weighed to reach the best solution. Forces
define the kinds of trade-offs that must be considered in the presence of the tension or
dissonance they create. The forces answer the question: “Why is this a hard problem?”

6 Overview of geographic services architecture
6.1 Purpose and justification
The definition of service includes a variety of applications with different levels of functionality to access and
use geographic information. While specialized services will appropriately remain an area for proprietary
products, standardization of the interfaces to those services allows interoperability between proprietary
products. Geographic information system and software developers will use these standards to provide general
and specialized services that can be used for all geographic information. The approach of this International
Standard is integrated with the approaches being developed within the more general world of information
technology.
The geographic services architecture specified in this International Standard has been developed to meet the
following purposes:
provide an abstract framework to allow coordinated development of specific services;
enable interoperable data services through interface standardization;
4 © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 19119:2005(E)
support development of a service catalogue through the definition of service metadata;
allow separation of data instances and service instances;
enable use of one provider's service on another provider's data;
define an abstract framework which can be implemented in multiple ways.
This International Standard extends the architectural reference model defined in ISO 19101, in which an
Extended Open Systems Environment (EOSE) model for geographic services is defined.
6.2 Interoperability reference model based on ISO RM-ODP
This International Standard is developed based on a system architecture approach to system design known
as the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing; see ISO/IEC 10746. Architecture is defined as a set
of components, connections and topologies defined through a series of views. The geographic infrastructure
enabled by this International Standard will have multiple users, developers, operators and reviewers. Each
group will view the system from their own perspective. The purpose of architecture is to provide a description
of the system from multiple viewpoints. Furthermore, architecture helps to ensure that each view will be
consistent with the requirements and with the other views.
Table 1 shows how the RM-ODP viewpoints are utilized in this International Standard.
Table 1 — Use of RM-ODP viewpoints in this International Standard
Viewpoint Definition of RM-ODP Viewpoint How viewpoint is addressed in this
Name (ISO/IEC 10746-1:1998) International Standard
enterprise a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment This is available in other parts of the
viewpoint that focuses on the purpose, scope and policies for that ISO 19100 series of standards, e.g.,
system reference model (ISO 19101).
computational a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 7, computational viewpoint.
viewpoint that enables distribution through functional
decomposition of the system into objects which interact
at interfaces
information a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 8, information viewpoint.
viewpoint that focuses on the semantics of information and
information processing
engineering a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 9, engineering viewpoint.
viewpoint that focuses on the mechanisms and functions required
to support distributed interaction between objects in the
system
technology a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 10 technology viewpoint; also to
viewpoint that focuses on the choice of technology in that system be addressed by platform-specific service
specifications.
The enterprise viewpoint is concerned with the purpose, scope and policies of an enterprise or business and
how they relate to the specified system or service. An enterprise specification of a service is a model of that
service and the environment with which the service interacts. It covers the role of the service in the business
and the human-user roles and business policies related to the service.
The computational viewpoint is concerned with the interaction patterns between the components (services) of
the system, described through their interfaces. A computational specification of a service is a model of the
service interface seen from a client, and the potential set of other services that this service requires to have
available, with the interacting services described as sources and sinks of information.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 19119:2005(E)
The information viewpoint is concerned with the semantics of information and information processing. An
information specification of an ODP system is a model of the information that it holds and of the information
processing that it carries out.
The engineering viewpoint is concerned with the design of distribution-oriented aspects, i.e., the infrastructure
required to support distribution. An engineering specification of an ODP system defines a networked
computing infrastructure that supports the system structure defined in the computational specification and
provides the distribution transparencies that it defines. ODP defines the following distribution transparencies:
access, failure, location, migration, relocation, replication, persistence and transaction. Security may also be a
mechanism.
The technology viewpoint describes the implementation of the ODP system in terms of a configuration of
technology objects representing the hardware and software components of the implementation. It is
constrained by cost and availability of technology objects (hardware and software products) that would satisfy
this specification. These may conform to platform-specific standards that are effectively templates for
technology objects.
In the computational and information viewpoint clauses of this International Standard, specific approaches that
shall be followed for defining geographic information services are provided. For the engineering and
technology viewpoints, this International Standard defines how a particular service shall be mapped on to an
implementation technology, such as SQL-3/ODBC, ODMG, CORBA, DCOM/OLE, Internet or similar
technology.
6.3 Service abstraction
This International Standard defines the approach to defining services that shall be used in the ISO 19100
series of standards. Figure 1 defines the relationship between the various types of service specifications.
SV_ServiceSpecification defines services without reference to the type of specification or to its implementation.
A SV_PlatformNeutralServiceSpecification provides the abstract definition of a specific type of service but
does not specify the implementation of the service. Service types are given in the geographic service
taxonomy in 8.3. SV_PlatformSpecificServiceSpecification defines the implementation of a specific type of
service. There may be multiple platform-specific specifications for a single platform-neutral specification.
SV_Service is an implementation of a service. The requirements for these specifications are addressed in this
International Standard, in particular in Clause 10.

6.4 Interoperability
Interoperability is the capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional
units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those
units.
Two components X and Y (see Figure 2) can interoperate (are interoperable) if X can send requests R for
services to Y, based on a mutual understanding of R by X and Y, and if Y can similarly return mutually
understandable responses S to X.
Figure 2 — Interoperability
This means that two interoperable systems can interact jointly to execute tasks. For the geographic domain,
the following description of the term “geographic interoperability” is applicable:
© ISO 2005 – All rights reserved 7
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO 19119:2005(E)
“Geographic interoperability” is the ability of information systems to 1) freely exchange all kinds of spatial
information about the Earth and about the objects and phenomena on, above, and below the Earth’s surface;
and 2) cooperatively, over networks, run software capable of manipulating such information.
The ODP viewpoint abstraction provides a framework for describing a system at several abstraction levels. In
this International Standard, interoperability is viewed in terms of the different abstraction levels provided by
RM-ODP. This International Standard focuses, from different viewpoints, on how semantic and syntactic
interoperability of geographic metadata and geographic data can be supported.
When two different organizations have independently developed distributed systems, each can be described
according to the RM-ODP viewpoints, and interoperability between the systems can be discussed with respect
to each of the five RM-ODP viewpoints.
For each interoperability aspect, a distinction is made between syntactical interoperability and semantic
interoperability. Syntactical interoperability assures that there is a technical connection, i.e. that the data can
be transferred between systems. Semantic interoperability assures that the content is understood in the same
way in both systems, including by those humans interacting with the systems in a given context.
6.5 Use of other geographic information standards in service specifications
A service specification shall include relevant information models from the appropriate geographic information
standards in the ISO 19100 series. The corresponding UML models shall be used in the definition of the
service interfaces as appropriate.
6.6 Architecture patterns
An architecture pattern expresses a fundamental structural organization or schema for software services. It
identifies a set of services, specifies their responsibilities, and includes rules and guidelines for organizing the
relationships between them. Services, implemented by classes and objects, may use design patterns but this
level of detail is outside the scope of this International Standard.
The Table 2 provides a listing of the elements of a pattern. When specific architecture patterns are defined in
this International Standard, these elements shall be used.
Table 2 — Elements of a pattern
Element of a pattern Description of element
Name The name is a word or short meaningful phrase that describes the pattern. The name is
extremely important, since it is used to reduce communication overhead. Nicknames or
synonyms may be provided.
Problem This is a statement of the problem which describes its intent, goals and objectives it wants
to reach within the given context and forces. Often the forces oppose these objectives as
well as each other.
Context Context defines the preconditions under which the problem and its solution seem to recur,
and for which the solution is desirable. This defines the pattern's applicability. It can be
thought of as the initial configuration of the system before the pattern is applied.
Forces The forces are considerations that must be weighed to reach the best solution. Forces
define the kinds of trade-offs that must be considered in the presence of the tension or
dissonance they create. The forces answer the question: “Why is this a

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.

Introduction
The widespread application of computers and use of geographic information systems (GIS) have led to the
increased analysis of geographic data within multiple disciplines. Based on advances in information
technology, society’s reliance on such data is growing. Geographic datasets are increasingly being shared,
exchanged, and used for purposes other than their producers’ intended ones. GIS, remote sensing,
automated mapping and facilities management (AM/FM), traffic analysis, geopositioning systems, and other
technologies for Geographic Information (GI) are entering a period of radical integration.
This International Standard provides a framework for developers to create software that enables users to
access and process geographic data from a variety of sources across a generic computing interface within an
open information technology environment.
“a framework for developers” means that this International Standard is based on a comprehensive,
common (i.e. formed by consensus for general use) plan for interoperable geoprocessing;
“access and process” means that geodata users can query remote databases and control remote
processing resources, and also take advantage of other distributed computing technologies, such as
software delivered to the user's local environment from a remote environment for temporary use;
“from a variety of sources” means that users will have access to data acquired in a variety of ways and
stored in a wide variety of relational and non-relational databases;
“across a generic computing interface” means that ISO 19119 interfaces provide reliable communication
between otherwise disparate software resources that are equipped to use these interfaces;
“within an open information technology environment” means that this International Standard enables
geoprocessing to take place outside of the closed environment of monolithic GIS, remote sensing, and
AM/FM systems that control and restrict database, user interface, network and data manipulation
functions.

6 Overview of geographic services architecture
6.1 Purpose and justification
The definition of service includes a variety of applications with different levels of functionality to access and
use geographic information. While specialized services will appropriately remain an area for proprietary
products, standardization of the interfaces to those services allows interoperability between proprietary
products. Geographic information system and software developers will use these standards to provide general
and specialized services that can be used for all geographic information. The approach of this International
Standard is integrated with the approaches being developed within the more general world of information
technology.
The geographic services architecture specified in this International Standard has been developed to meet the
following purposes:
provide an abstract framework to allow coordinated development of specific services;�
enable interoperable data services through interface standardization;�

support development of a service catalogue through the definition of service metadata;�
allow separation of data instances and service instances;�
enable use of one provider's service on another provider's data;�
define an abstract framework which can be implemented in multiple ways.�
This International Standard extends the architectural reference model defined in ISO 19101, in which an
Extended Open Systems Environment (EOSE) model for geographic services is defined.
6.2 Interoperability reference model based on ISO RM-ODP
This International Standard is developed based on a system architecture approach to system design known
as the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing; see ISO/IEC 10746. Architecture is defined as a set
of components, connections and topologies defined through a series of views. The geographic infrastructure
enabled by this International Standard will have multiple users, developers, operators and reviewers. Each
group will view the system from their own perspective. The purpose of architecture is to provide a description
of the system from multiple viewpoints. Furthermore, architecture helps to ensure that each view will be
consistent with the requirements and with the other views.
Table 1 shows how the RM-ODP viewpoints are utilized in this International Standard.
Table 1 — Use of RM-ODP viewpoints in this International Standard
Viewpoint Definition of RM-ODP Viewpoint How viewpoint is addressed in this
Name (ISO/IEC 10746-1:1998) International Standard
enterprise a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment This is available in other parts of the
viewpoint that focuses on the purpose, scope and policies for that ISO 19100 series of standards, e.g.,
system reference model (ISO 19101).
computational a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 7, computational viewpoint.
viewpoint that enables distribution through functional
decomposition of the system into objects which interact
at interfaces
information a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 8, information viewpoint.
viewpoint that focuses on the semantics of information and
information processing
engineering a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 9, engineering viewpoint.
viewpoint that focuses on the mechanisms and functions required
to support distributed interaction between objects in the
system
technology a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 10 technology viewpoint; also to
viewpoint that focuses on the choice of technology in that system be addressed by platform-specific service
specifications.
The enterprise viewpoint is concerned with the purpose, scope and policies of an enterprise or business and
how they relate to the specified system or service. An enterprise specification of a service is a model of that
service and the environment with which the service interacts. It covers the role of the service in the business
and the human-user roles and business policies related to the service.
The computational viewpoint is concerned with the interaction patterns between the components (services) of
the system, described through their interfaces. A computational specification of a service is a model of the
service interface seen from a client, and the potential set of other services that this service requires to have
available, with the interacting services described as sources and sinks of information.

SIST ISO 19119:2005
ISO 19119:2005(E)
The information viewpoint is concerned with the semantics of information and information processing. An
information specification of an ODP system is a model of the information that it holds and of the information
processing that it carries out.
The engineering viewpoint is concerned with the design of distribution-oriented aspects, i.e., the infrastructure
required to support distribution. An engineering specification of an ODP system defines a networked
computing infrastructure that supports the system structure defined in the computational specification and
provides the distribution transparencies that it defines. ODP defines the following distribution transparencies:
access, failure, location, migration, relocation, replication, persistence and transaction. Security may also be a
mechanism.
The technology viewpoint describes the implementation of the ODP system in terms of a configuration of
technology objects representing the hardware and software components of the implementation. It is
constrained by cost and availability of technology objects (hardware and software products) that would satisfy
this specification. These may conform to platform-specific standards that are effectively templates for
technology objects.
In the computational and information viewpoint clauses of this International Standard, specific approaches that
shall be followed for defining geographic information services are provided. For the engineering and
technology viewpoints, this International Standard defines how a particular service shall be mapped on to an
implementation technology, such as SQL-3/ODBC, ODMG, CORBA, DCOM/OLE, Internet or similar
technology.
6.3 Service abstraction
This International Standard defines the approach to defining services that shall be used in the ISO 19100
series of standards. Figure 1 defines the relationship between the various types of service specifications.
SV_ServiceSpecification defines services without reference to the type of specification or to its implementation.
A SV_PlatformNeutralServiceSpecification provides the abstract definition of a specific type of service but
does not specify the implementation of the service. Service types are given in the geographic service
taxonomy in 8.3. SV_PlatformSpecificServiceSpecification defines the implementation of a specific type of
service. There may be multiple platform-specific specifications for a single platform-neutral specification.
SV_Service is an implementation of a service. The requirements for these specifications are addressed in this
International Standard, in particular in Clause 10.

6.4 Interoperability
Interoperability is the capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional
units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those
units.
Two components X and Y (see Figure 2) can interoperate (are interoperable) if X can send requests R for
services to Y, based on a mutual understanding of R by X and Y, and if Y can similarly return mutually
understandable responses S to X.
Figure 2 — Interoperability
This means that two interoperable systems can interact jointly to execute tasks. For the geographic domain,
the following description of the term “geographic interoperability” is applicable:
© ISO 2005 – All rights reserved 7
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST ISO 19119:2005
ISO 19119:2005(E)
“Geographic interoperability” is the ability of information systems to 1) freely exchange all kinds of spatial
information about the Earth and about the objects and phenomena on, above, and below the Earth’s surface;
and 2) cooperatively, over networks, run software capable of manipulating such information.
The ODP viewpoint abstraction provides a framework for describing a system at several abstraction levels. In
this International Standard, interoperability is viewed in terms of the different abstraction levels provided by
RM-ODP. This International Standard focuses, from different viewpoints, on how semantic and syntactic
interoperability of geographic metadata and geographic data can be supported.
When two different organizations have independently developed distributed systems, each can be described
according to the RM-ODP viewpoints, and interoperability between the systems can be discussed with respect
to each of the five RM-ODP viewpoints.
For each interoperability aspect, a distinction is made between syntactical interoperability and semantic
interoperability. Syntactical interoperability assures that there is a technical connection, i.e. that the data can
be transferred between systems. Semantic interoperability assures that the content is understood in the same
way in both systems, including by those humans interacting with the systems in a given context.
6.5 Use of other geographic information standards in service specifications
A service specification shall include relevant information models from the appropriate geographic information
standards in the ISO 19100 series. The corresponding UML models shall be used in the definition of the
service interfaces as appropriate.
6.6 Architecture patterns
An architecture pattern expresses a fundamental structural organization or schema for software services. It
identifies a set of services, specifies their responsibilities, and includes rules and guidelines for organizing the
relationships between them. Services, implemented by classes and objects, may use design patterns but this
level of detail is outside the scope of this International Standard.
The Table 2 provides a listing of the elements of a pattern. When specific architecture patterns are defined in
this International Standard, these elements shall be used.

Introduction
L'application répandue d'ordinateurs et l'utilisation de systèmes d'informations géographiques (SIG) ont
conduit à la progression de l'analyse de données géographiques dans diverses disciplines. Fondée sur les
avancées des technologies de l'information, la dépendance de la société envers ce type de données est
grandissante. Les ensembles de données géographiques sont de plus en plus partagés, échangés et utilisés
à des fins autres que celles auxquelles leurs producteurs les avaient destinées. Les SIG, la télédétection, la
cartographie automatisée et la gestion des installations (AM/FM), l'analyse du trafic, les systèmes de
géopositionnement et d'autres technologies relatives à l'Information Géographique (IG) entrent dans une
période d'intégration radicale.
La présente Norme internationale fournit un cadre aux développeurs afin de créer des logiciels qui permettent
aux utilisateurs l'accès aux données géographiques ainsi que leur traitement à partir de sources diverses par
le biais d'une interface de calcul générique dans un environnement de technologie de l'information ouvert.
«Un cadre pour les développeurs» signifie que la présente Norme internationale est fondée sur un plan
détaillé et commun (c'est-à-dire établi par consensus pour l'usage général) pour un traitement
géographique interoperable.
«L'accès aux données géographiques ainsi que leur traitement» signifie que les utilisateurs de données
géographiques peuvent interroger des bases de données distantes et utiliser des ressources de
traitement contrôlées à distance, tout en tirant avantage des autres technologies d'informatique distribuée,
comme les logiciels pouvant être utilisés sur l'environnement local de l'utilisateur à partir d'un
environnement distant pour un usage temporaire.
«À partir de sources diverses» signifie que les utilisateurs auront accès à des données acquises de
diverses façons et stockées dans un large éventail de bases de données relationnelles et non
relationnelles.
«Par le biais d'une interface de calcul générique» signifie que des interfaces ISO 19119 fournissent une
communication fiable entre des ressources logicielles sinon disparates qui sont équipées pour utiliser ces
interfaces.
«Dans un environnement de technologie de l'information ouvert» signifie que la présente Norme
internationale permet au traitement géographique d'avoir lieu hors de l'environnement clos du SIG
monolithique, de la télédétection et des systèmes AM/FM qui contrôlent et restreignent la base de
données, l'interface utilisateur, les fonctions relatives au réseau et les fonctions de manipulation de
données.

6 Vue d'ensemble de l'architecture des services géographiques
6.1 Objectif et justification
La définition des services inclut diverses applications avec différents niveaux de fonctionnalité relatifs à
l'accès aux informations géographiques et à leur utilisation. Alors que les services spécialisés vont toujours
constituer de façon adéquate un domaine occupé par les produits propriétaires, la normalisation des
interfaces de ces services permet l'interopérabilité entre les produits propriétaires. Le système d'informations
géographiques et les développeurs de logiciels vont utiliser ces normes pour fournir des services spécialisés
et généraux qui peuvent être utilisés pour toutes les informations géographiques. L'approche de la présente
Norme internationale est intégrée aux approches en cours de développement dans l'univers plus général des
technologies de l'information.
L'architecture de services géographiques spécifiée dans la présente Norme internationale a été développée
pour remplir les objectifs suivants:
fournir un cadre abstrait afin de permettre un développement coordonné des services spécifiques;
rendre possible l'interopérabilité des services de données par le biais d'une normalisation des interfaces;
donner une base au développement d'un catalogue de services par le biais de la définition des
métadonnées de service;
permettre la séparation des instances de données et des instances de service;
rendre possible l'utilisation du service d'un fournisseur avec les données d'un autre fournisseur;
définir un cadre abstrait qui peut être implémenté de diverses façons.
La présente Norme internationale étend le modèle de référence architectural défini dans l'ISO 19101, dans
laquelle est défini un modèle étendu d'environnement de systèmes ouverts (EOSE).
6.2 Modèle de référence d'interopérabilité fondé sur le RM-ODP ISO
La présente Norme internationale est développée à partir d'une approche d'architecture de système fondée
sur la conception d'un système connu comme le modèle de référence pour le traitement distribué ouvert
(Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing), voir ISO/CEI 10746. L'architecture est définie comme un
ensemble de composants, de connexions et de topologies définis par le biais d'une série de points de vue.
L'infrastructure géographique rendue possible par la présente Norme internationale aura différents utilisateurs,
développeurs, opérateurs et contrôleurs. Chaque groupe considérera le système selon ses propres
perspectives. L'objectif de l'architecture est de fournir une description du système à partir de divers points de
vue. En outre, l'architecture contribue à garantir que chaque point de vue sera cohérent par rapport aux
exigences et aux autres points de vue.

technologie au sein de ce système service propres à la plate-forme.
Le point de vue d'entreprise porte sur l'objectif, le domaine d'application et les politiques d'une entreprise ou
d'une affaire et la façon dont ces paramètres sont liés au système ou au service spécifié. Une spécification
d'entreprise d'un service est un modèle de ce service et de l'environnement avec lequel il interagit. Ce point
de vue porte sur le rôle du service dans l'entreprise et sur les rôles des utilisateurs humains et des politiques
commerciales liés au service.
Le point de vue informatique porte sur les modèles d'interaction entre les composants (services) du système,
décrits par le biais de leurs interfaces. Une spécification informatique d'un service est un modèle d'interface
de service vu par un client accompagné par l'ensemble potentiel d'autres services dont la disponibilité est
nécessaire pour ce service, ainsi que des services d'interaction décrits en tant que sources d'information.
Le point de vue d'information porte sur la sémantique des informations et le traitement des informations. Une
spécification d'information d'un système ODP est un modèle des informations qu'il contient et du traitement
des informations qu'il effectue.
Le point de vue d'ingénierie porte sur la conception d'aspects orientés distribution, c'est-à-dire l'infrastructure
requise pour permettre la distribution. Une spécification d'ingénierie d'un système ODP définit une
infrastructure de réseau informatique qui donne une base à la structure de système définie dans la
spécification informatique et qui fournit les transparences à la distribution qu'elle définit. L'ODP définit les
transparences à la distribution suivantes: accès, défaillance, emplacement, migration, relocalisation,
réplication, persistance et transaction. La sécurité peut également être un mécanisme.
Le point de vue de technologie décrit l'implémentation du système ODP en termes de configuration d'objets
technologiques représentant les composants matériels et logiciels de l'implémentation. Il est soumis à des
contraintes de coûts et à la disponibilité des objets technologiques (produits matériels et logiciels) qui
pourraient satisfaire à la présente spécification. Ceux-ci peuvent se conformer aux normes propres à la plate-
forme qui sont effectivement des modèles pour les objets technologiques.
Dans les articles traitants du point de vue informatique et du point de vue d'information de la présente Norme
internationale, les approches spécifiques qui doivent être suivies en matière de services d'informations
géographiques sont fournies. Pour le point de vue d'ingénierie et le point de vue de technologie, la présente
Norme internationale définit comment un service doit être mis en correspondance avec une technologie
d'implémentation, comme SQL-3/ODBC, ODMG, CORBA, DCOM/OLE, Internet ou une technologie similaire.
