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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)

Introduction
Local governments are actively implementing various smart city services. The heterogeneity of private
and public data generated from the smart city services is one of the major concerns standard development
organizations (SDOs) are actively proceeding to solve for interoperability. Information modelling fields are
moving towards integrated geospatial information environments, such as digital twins, cyber-physical
systems and the meta-verse. These trends have produced new needs for standards in both private and
public sectors that enable effective information sharing in terms of the geospatial context for smart city
services. Building efficient and effective interconnectedness and sharing information between silo data
models across domain fields and cities is one of the major concerns to make seamless smart city services
operational.
