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 19135 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.

ISO 19135:2005(E)
Introduction
This International Standard specifies procedures for the registration of items of geographic information.
ISO/IEC JTC 1 defines registration as the assignment of an unambiguous name to an object in a way that
makes the assignment available to interested parties. Items of geographic information that may be registered
are members of object classes specified in technical standards such as those developed by ISO/TC 211.
NOTE In this International Standard, the definition of registration has been changed so that registration is the
assignment of linguistically independent identifiers, rather than names, to items of geographic information.
Registration of items of geographic information offers several benefits to the geographic information
community. Registration:
a) supports wider use of registered items both by providing international recognition to the fact that such
items conform to an ISO International Standard and by making them publicly available to potential users;
b) provides both immediate recognition to extensions of an International Standard and a source for updates
to that International Standard during the regular maintenance cycle;
c) may provide a single mechanism to access information concerning items that are specified in different
standards;
d) provides a mechanism for managing temporal change;
NOTE Items specified in a standard or in a register may change over time either due to changes in technology or for
other reasons. Published standards do not clearly document what changes may have occurred, and do not include
information about earlier versions of specified items. Such information can be maintained in a register
e) may be used to make sets of standardized tags available for encoding of registered items in data sets;
and
f) supports cultural and linguistic adaptability by providing both a means for recording equivalent names of
items used in different languages, cultures, application areas and professions, and a means for making
those equivalent names publicly available.
This International Standard specifies procedures to be followed in preparing and maintaining registers of items
of geographic information. Although any organization may choose to establish registers of items of geographic
information that conform to this International Standard, this International Standard is intended particularly to
apply to registers established under the auspices of ISO/TC 211.
A registration authority is an organization authorized by ISO to maintain a register. ISO discourages the
proliferation of registers, but the maintenance of a single large register places a heavy burden on the
registration authority. A goal of this International Standard is to achieve a balance between minimizing the
number of registers for items of geographic information and minimizing the burden on the registration
authorities.

5 Roles and responsibilities in the management of registers
5.1 Introduction
Several organizations play a role in the management of a register (Figure 1). The roles and their relationships
are illustrated as a conceptual model using UML notation. This model is not intended to be implemented in
software and data, but as a set of organizations and the interactions between them.
NOTE Although they are not organizations, register and registry are included in Figure 1 because they are the basis
of the roles played by the organizations included.
5.2 Register owner
A register owner is an organization that:
a) has established one or more registers; and
b) has primary responsibility for the management, dissemination and intellectual content of those registers.
A register owner may serve as the register manager for any register that it has established, or it may appoint
another organization to serve as the register manager (5.3). A register owner shall specify the criteria that
determine which organizations may act as submitting organizations (5.4) to propose changes to the content of
4 © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 19135:2005(E)
the register. A register owner may serve as the control body (5.5) for any register that it has established, or it
may delegate that role to a subgroup within the organization or to the register manager that it has appointed to
manage that register. The register owner shall establish a procedure to process appeals by submitting
organizations of decisions made by the control body of a register. The specification of this procedure shall
include appropriate time limits for completion of the process.
The register owner shall specify the time interval for reports from the register manager that describe the
proposals received and the decisions taken since the last report. The register owner shall set terms and
conditions for making the contents of the register available to the public.
In the case of a hierarchical register (7.1.4), the register owner shall coordinate the establishment of
subregisters by other organizations.

ISO 19135:2005(E)
5.3 Register manager
5.3.1 Appointment of a register manager
A register owner may delegate the role of register manager to another organization. This is the usual case for
registers established by ISO or IEC Technical Committees.
5.3.2 Responsibilities of a register manager
A register manager shall manage a register of items within the item classes for which it is responsible in
conformance with Clause 6. A register manager may manage multiple registers. A register manager may own
and operate the registry that holds a register that it manages, or it may delegate operation of the registry to a
registry manager (5.6). Upon request, the register manager shall distribute an information package containing
a description of the register and how to submit proposals for changes to the content of the register. The
register manager shall accept proposals from submitting organizations and manage the proposals as specified
in 6.2. The register manager shall pass proposals to the control body (5.5) for decisions as to acceptability,
and shall serve as the point of contact between the control body and the submitting organization for
negotiations regarding changes to the proposal. The register manager shall provide reports to the register
owner at intervals specified by the register owner. Each report shall describe the proposals received and the
decisions taken since the last report. The contents of the register shall be available to the public under the
terms and conditions set by the register owner.
5.4 Submitting organizations
5.4.1 Eligible submitting organizations
A submitting organization is an organization that is qualified under criteria determined by the register owner to
propose changes to the content of a register. The register manager shall determine whether a submitting
organization is qualified in accordance with the criteria established by the register owner. A potential
submitting organization may appeal the determination to the register owner.
5.4.2 Responsibilities of submitting organizations
Submitting organizations shall manage the submission of proposals to the register manager or appeals to the
register owner that are initiated from within their respective countries or organizations as specified in 6.2.
5.5 Control body
A control body is a group of technical experts appointed by a register owner to decide on the acceptability of
proposals for changes to the content of a register (6.2.7). The control body shall accept proposals from the
register manager and render a decision regarding each proposal within the time limits specified by the register
owner.
5.6 Registry manager
A registry manager is a person or an organization responsible for the day-to-day management of a registry.
A registry manager may engage a third-party service provider to perform this service. A registry manager shall
ensure the integrity of any register held in the registry (6.5), and shall provide means for electronic access to
the registry (6.4) for register managers, control bodies and register users.
5.7 Register user
Register users access a registry in order to use one or more of the registers held in that register. Register
users include any person or organization interested in accessing or influencing the content of a register. Users
have a variety of registration requirements:
⎯ Developers of standards and specifications want to re-use items specified in a register;
6 © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO 19135:2005(E)
⎯ Data producers want to use in their products items specified in a register;
⎯ Data users want to understand the meaning of register items used by a data producer; and
⎯ System developers want to provide a capability to use register items in data production, interchange or
consumption.
A register owner may set terms and conditions for different levels of access to the register to satisfy the
requirements of different categories of users.
Register users vary in the frequency of access they need, from the occasional data user who may need to
determine the meaning of a register item on a very infrequent basis, to the data producer who may need to
use values from a register many times a day. Register manage

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.

Introduction
La présente Norme internationale décrit les procédures pour l’enregistrement d’éléments relatifs à
l’information géographique. L’ISO/CEI JTC 1 définit l’enregistrement comme l’attribution d’un nom non ambigu
à un objet, le rendant ainsi disponible pour les parties intéressées. Les items relatifs à l’information
géographique pouvant être enregistrés sont membres de classes d’objets spécifiées dans les normes
techniques telles que celles développées par l’ISO/TC 211.
NOTE Dans la présente Norme internationale, la définition d’enregistrement a été modifiée de sorte que
l’enregistrement correspond à l’attribution d’identifiants linguistiquement indépendants à des éléments relatifs à
l’information géographique au lieu de leur attribuer des noms.
L’enregistrement d’éléments relatifs à l’information géographique offre ne nombreux avantages à l’ensemble
de l’information géographique. L’enregistrement
a) permet une utilisation plus étendue des items enregistrés en conférant une reconnaissance internationale
sur le fait que de tels items sont conformes à une Norme internationale et en les mettant publiquement à
disposition d’utilisateurs potentiels,
b) confère une reconnaissance immédiate aux extensions d’une Norme internationale et une source de
mises à jour pour cette Norme internationale pendant le cycle de mise à jour régulier,
c) peut conférer un mécanisme unique permettant l’accès aux informations concernant les items spécifiés
dans différentes normes,

NOTE Les items spécifiés dans une norme ou dans un registre peuvent changer avec le temps en raison des
avancées technologiques, entre autres. Les normes publiées ne font pas clairement mention des éventuelles

différents, ainsi qu’un moyen de rendre ces noms équivalents publics.
La présente Norme internationale spécifie les procédures à suivre pour la préparation et la mise à jour de
registres d’items relatifs à l’information géographique. Bien que tout organisme puisse choisir d’établir des
registres d’items relatifs à l’information géographique conformes à la présente Norme internationale, cette
dernière est destinée tout particulièrement à s’appliquer aux registres établis sous les auspices de
l’ISO/TC 211.
Une autorité d’enregistrement est une organisation habilitée par l’ISO pour mettre à jour un registre. L’ISO
n’encourage pas la multiplication des registres, mais la mise à jour d’un vaste registre unique représente une
lourde tâche pour l’autorité d’enregistrement. La présente Norme internationale vise notamment à atteindre un
équilibre entre la réduction du nombre de registres pour les items relatifs à l’information géographique et la
réduction de la charge pesant sur les autorités d’enregistrement.

5 Rôles et responsabilités dans la gestion des registres
5.1 Introduction
De nombreuses organisations jouent un rôle dans la gestion d'un registre (Figure 1). Les rôles et leurs
relations sont illustrés par un modèle conceptuel utilisant la notation UML. Ce modèle n’est pas destiné à être
implémenté dans un logiciel et dans des données, mais comme un ensemble d'organismes et leurs
interactions.
NOTE Bien qu’ils ne soient pas des organismes, le registre et le bureau d’enregistrement sont mentionnés dans la
Figure 1, car ils constituent la base des rôles joués par les organismes qui y prennent part.
5.2 Propriétaire du registre
Un propriétaire de registre est un organisme qui
4 © ISO 2005 – Tous droits réservés
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 19135:2005(F)
a) a établi un ou plusieurs registres, et
b) assume la responsabilité principale quant à la gestion, la diffusion et le contenu intellectuel de ces
registres.
Un propriétaire de registre peut faire fonction de responsable de registre pour tout registre qu’il a établi ou
bien il peut désigner un autre organisme pour assurer cette fonction (5.3). Un propriétaire de registre doit
spécifier les critères déterminant les organisations qui peuvent faire fonction d’organismes de
soumission (5.4) pour soumettre des propositions de modification du contenu du registre. Un propriétaire de
registre peut revêtir la fonction d’organisme de contrôle (5.5) pour tout registre qu’il a établi ou bien il peut
déléguer ce rôle à un sous-groupe de l’organisme ou au responsable de registre qu’il a nommé pour gérer le
registre. Le propriétaire de registre doit mettre en place une procédure pour traiter les appels demandés par
les organismes de soumission, en ce qui concerne les décisions rendues par l’organisme de contrôle d’un
registre. Cette procédure doit inclure dans ses spécifications, les délais appropriés pour la réalisation de ce
processus.
Le propriétaire de registre doit spécifier l'intervalle de temps nécessaire à l'élaboration de rapports par le
responsable de registre; ces rapports décrivent les propositions soumises et les décisions prises depuis le
rapport précédent. Le propriétaire de registre doit fixer les modalités et conditions permettant de mettre le
registre à la disposition du public.
Dans le cas d’un registre hiérarchique (7.1.4), le propriétaire de registre doit coordonner la mise en place des
sous-registres par d'autres organismes.

5.3 Directeur du registre
5.3.1 Nomination d’un responsable de registre
Un propriétaire de registre peut déléguer le rôle de responsable de registre à un autre organisme. Ce cas se
présente habituellement pour les registres établis par l’ISO ou les comités techniques CEI.
5.3.2 Responsabilités d’un responsable de registre
Un responsable de registre doit gérer un registre d'items appartenant aux classes d’items dont il est
responsable, conformément à l’Article 6. Un responsable de registre peut gérer de multiples registres. Il peut
posséder et diriger le bureau d’enregistrement comportant un registre qu’il gère ou bien il peut déléguer la
gestion du bureau d’enregistrement à un responsable du bureau d'enregistrement (5.6). Sur demande, le
responsable de registre doit distribuer un ensemble d'informations contenant une description du registre ainsi
que les modalités permettant de soumettre des propositions pour modifier le contenu du registre. Le
responsable du registre doit accepter les propositions émanant des organismes de soumission et gérer les
propositions, comme spécifié en 6.2. Le directeur du registre doit transmettre les propositions à l’organisme
de contrôle (5.5) pour les décisions concernant l'acceptabilité et doit faire office de médiateur entre
l’organisme de contrôle et l’organisme de soumission pour les négociations relatives aux modifications
suggérées dans les propositions. Le responsable de registre doit transmettre les rapports au propriétaire de
registre à des intervalles spécifiés par le propriétaire du registre. Chaque rapport doit décrire les propositions
reçues et les décisions prises depuis le rapport précédent. Les contenus du registre doivent être mis à la
disposition du public dans les modalités et aux conditions fixées par le propriétaire de registre.
5.4 Organismes de soumission
5.4.1 Organismes de soumission éligibles
Un organisme de soumission est un organisme qui est habilité, selon les critères déterminés par le
propriétaire de registre, à proposer des modifications au contenu du registre. Le responsable de registre doit
déterminer si un organisme de soumission présente les qualifications conformes aux critères établis par le
propriétaire de registre. Un organisme de soumission potentiel peut recourir à la détermination du propriétaire
de registre.

v 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 19135 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.
ISO 19135:2005(E) vi
© ISO 2005 – All rights reserved Introduction This International Standard specifies procedures for the registration of items of geographic information. ISO/IEC JTC 1 defines registration as the assignment of an unambiguous name to an object in a way that makes the assignment available to interested parties. Items of geographic information that may be registered are members of object classes specified in technical standards such as those developed by ISO/TC 211. NOTE In this International Standard, the definition of registration has been changed so that registration is the assignment of linguistically independent identifiers, rather than names, to items of geographic information. Registration of items of geographic information offers several benefits to the geographic information community. Registration: a) supports wider use of registered items both by providing international recognition to the fact that such items conform to an ISO International Standard and by making them publicly available to potential users; b) provides both immediate recognition to extensions of an International Standard and a source for updates to that International Standard during the regular maintenance cycle; c) may provide a single mechanism to access information concerning items that are specified in different standards; d) provides a mechanism for managing temporal change; NOTE Items specified in a standard or in a register may change over time either due to changes in technology or for other reasons. Published standards do not clearly document what changes may have occurred, and do not include information about earlier versions of specified items. Such information can be maintained in a register e) may be used to make sets of standardized tags available for encoding of registered items in data sets; and f) supports cultural and linguistic adaptability by providing both a means for recording equivalent names of items used in different languages, cultures, application areas and professions, and a means for making those equivalent names publicly available. This International Standard specifies procedures to be followed in preparing and maintaining registers of items of geographic information. Although any organization may choose to establish registers of items of geographic information that conform to this International Standard, this International Standard is intended particularly to apply to registers established under the auspices of ISO/TC 211. A registration authority is an organization authorized by ISO to maintain a register. ISO discourages the proliferation of registers, but the maintenance of a single large register places a heavy burden on the registration authority. A goal of this International Standard is to achieve a balance between minimizing the number of registers for items of geographic information and minimizing the burden on the registration authorities.

1 Geographic information — Procedures for item registration 1 Scope This International Standard specifies procedures to be followed in establishing, maintaining and publishing registers of unique, unambiguous and permanent identifiers and meanings that are assigned to items of geographic information. In order to accomplish this purpose, this International Standard specifies elements of information that are necessary to provide identification and meaning to the registered items and to manage the registration of these items. 2 Conformance 2.1 Introduction To conform to this International Standard, a register of items of geographic information shall satisfy all of the conditions specified for one of the conformance classes described below. 2.2 General conformance Any register that claims conformance to this International Standard shall satisfy all of the conditions specified in the abstract test suite for general conformance (Annex A.1). 2.3 Hierarchical registers Any hierarchical register that claims conformance to this International Standard shall satisfy all of the conditions specified in the abstract test suite for general conformance (A.1) and shall, in addition, satisfy the conditions specified in the abstract test suite for hierarchical registers (A.2). 2.4 Registers established by ISO/TC 211 Any register established by ISO/TC 211 shall satisfy all of the conditions specified in the Abstract Test Suite for general conformance (A.1), and shall in addition satisfy all of the conditions specified in the abstract test suite for registers established by ISO/TC 211 (A.3). 3 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

UML notation is described in Annex B. By convention within ISO/TC 211, names of UML classes, with the exception of basic data type classes, include a two-letter prefix that identifies the standard and the UML package in which the class is specified. UML classes specified in this International Standard have the two letter prefix of “RE”. Several model elements used in this schema are specified in packages specified in ISO 19115:2003, as shown in Table 1. Table 1 — UML packages from ISO 19115:2003 Prefix Package CI Citation EX Extent MD Metadata 5 Roles and responsibilities in the management of registers 5.1 Introduction Several organizations play a role in the management of a register (Figure 1). The roles and their relationships are illustrated as a conceptual model using UML notation. This model is not intended to be implemented in software and data, but as a set of organizations and the interactions between them. NOTE Although they are not organizations, register and registry are included in Figure 1 because they are the basis of the roles played by the organizations included. 5.2 Register owner A register owner is an organization that: a) has established one or more registers; and b) has primary responsibility for the management, dissemination and intellectual content of those registers. A register owner may serve as the register manager for any register that it has established, or it may appoint another organization to serve as the register manager (5.3). A register owner shall specify the criteria that determine which organizations may act as submitting organizations (5.4) to propose changes to the content of
ISO 19135:2005(E) © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved
5 the register. A register owner may serve as the control body (5.5) for any register that it has established, or it may delegate that role to a subgroup within the organization or to the register manager that it has appointed to manage that register. The register owner shall establish a procedure to process appeals by submitting organizations of decisions made by the control body of a register. The specification of this procedure shall include appropriate time limits for completion of the process. The register owner shall specify the time interval for reports from the register manager that describe the proposals received and the decisions taken since the last report. The register owner shall set terms and conditions for making the contents of the register available to the public. In the case of a hierarchical register (7.1.4), the register owner shall coordinate the establishment of subregisters by other organizations.

© ISO 2005 – All rights reserved 5.3 Register manager 5.3.1 Appointment of a register manager A register owner may delegate the role of register manager to another organization. This is the usual case for registers established by ISO or IEC Technical Committees. 5.3.2 Responsibilities of a register manager A register manager shall manage a register of items within the item classes for which it is responsible in conformance with Clause 6. A register manager may manage multiple registers. A register manager may own and operate the registry that holds a register that it manages, or it may delegate operation of the registry to a registry manager (5.6). Upon request, the register manager shall distribute an information package containing a description of the register and how to submit proposals for changes to the content of the register. The register manager shall accept proposals from submitting organizations and manage the proposals as specified in 6.2. The register manager shall pass proposals to the control body (5.5) for decisions as to acceptability, and shall serve as the point of contact between the control body and the submitting organization for negotiations regarding changes to the proposal. The register manager shall provide reports to the register owner at intervals specified by the register owner. Each report shall describe the proposals received and the decisions taken since the last report. The contents of the register shall be available to the public under the terms and conditions set by the register owner. 5.4 Submitting organizations 5.4.1 Eligible submitting organizations A submitting organization is an organization that is qualified under criteria determined by the register owner to propose changes to the content of a register. The register manager shall determine whether a submitting organization is qualified in accordance with the criteria established by the register owner. A potential submitting organization may appeal the determination to the register owner. 5.4.2 Responsibilities of submitting organizations Submitting organizations shall manage the submission of proposals to the register manager or appeals to the register owner that are initiated from within their respective countries or organizations as specified in 6.2. 5.5 Control body A control body is a group of technical experts appointed by a register owner to decide on the acceptability of proposals for changes to the content of a register (6.2.7). The control body shall accept proposals from the register manager and render a decision regarding each proposal within the time limits specified by the register owner. 5.6 Registry manager A registry manager is a person or an organization responsible for the day-to-day management of a registry. A registry manager may engage a third-party service provider to perform this service. A registry manager shall ensure the integrity of any register held in the registry (6.5), and shall provide means for electronic access to the registry (6.4) for register managers, control bodies and register users. 5.7 Register user Register users access a registry in order to use one or more of the registers held in that register. Register users include any person or organization interested in accessing or influencing the content of a register. Users have a variety of registration requirements: ⎯ Developers of standards and specifications want to re-use items specified in a register;

7 ⎯ Data producers want to use in their products items specified in a register; ⎯ Data users want to understand the meaning of register items used by a data producer; and ⎯ System developers want to provide a capability to use register items in data production, interchange or consumption. A register owner may set terms and conditions for different levels of access to the register to satisfy the requirements of different categories of users. Register users vary in the frequency of access they need, from the occasional data user who may need to determine the meaning of a register item on a very infrequent basis, to the data producer who may need to use values from a register many times a day. Register managers shall consider the requirements of different categories of users in selecting methods for publishing the content of a register (6.4). 6 Management of registers 6.1 Establishment of registers Any organization may establish a register.
