Geographic information - Profiles (ISO 19106:2004)
ISO 19106:2004 is intended to define the concept of a profile of the ISO geographic information standards developed by ISO/TC 211 and to provide guidance for the creation of such profiles. Only those components of specifications that meet the definition of a profile contained herein can be established and managed through the mechanisms described in this International Standard. These profiles can be standardized internationally using the ISO standardization process. This document also provides guidance for establishing, managing, and standardizing at the national level (or in some other forum).

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 19106 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.

Introduction
The ISO geographic information standards define a variety of models for describing, managing, and
processing of geospatial data. Some of these standards are creating elements, others are introducing
structures and rules. Different user communities have different requirements for the extent they want to use or
implement these elements and rules. Clearly identification and documentation of specific subsets of the ISO
geographic information standards in a prescribed manner in conformance with these standards profiles are
needed.
Some of the ISO geographic information standards are abstract and hence will not be implemented directly.
To implement them, a specification must be created, which may consist of a choice from the options defined in
one or more of the standards, or instances of the rules defined in one or more of the standards or a
combination thereof. Not all of the components of the specification for an implementation of the ISO
geographic information standards will be derived entirely from the ISO standards. This document focuses on
the definition and creation of those components that are derived entirely from the ISO geographic information
standards.
An ISO geographic information profile is a subset of one or several of the ISO geographic information
standards. For example, there may be a profile from ISO 19115 developed to serve a particular application
area such as cadastral mapping. The profile would consist of a choice of the metadata elements available in
ISO 19115. ISO 19115 would serve as a base standard for the development of the profile. An example for a
base standard only introducing a methodology is given by ISO 19110. It contains methods for creating feature
and attribute definitions. A profile of ISO 19110 would not contain instances of feature definitions, since there
are no instances in the base standard from which to choose. A profile of ISO 19110 would contain only a
subset of the rules and methods found in that standard.
The management of specifications or components of specifications that do not meet the definition of a profile
is outside the scope of this International Standard. Each national standardization body or standards-setting
1) 2)
organization, such as DGIWG or IHO can develop profiles for its own purposes. These organizations may
follow this International Standard in creating such profiles, but those profiles do not become ISO geographic
information profiles. If feature catalogues are considered, it is easy to see that there could be any number of
catalogues developed using the ISO 19110 methodology. By applying the mechanisms of this International
Standard to define a profile of ISO 19110 will guarantee that the resulting feature definitions contain the same
components and are catalogued in a like manner, but it will not guarantee that the definitions of features and
attributes within the catalogue are not conflicting. The catalogues will be consistent, but the definitions they
contain will not. Each standards-setting organization or national body that develops a feature catalogue could
define ‘roads’ or ‘rivers’ or ‘administrative boundaries’ differently. For this reason, specifications for
implementing ISO geographic information standards, which are or contain specific instances of rules or
methodologies and which are not derived entirely from the ISO geographic information standards, are treated
differently from profiles
