Overview

EN ISO 19150-6:2023 - Geographic information - Ontology - Part 6: Service ontology register specifies a standard mechanism for registering and maintaining geographic information service ontologies that conform to ISO 19150-4. It provides a formal register structure, conformance rules, management roles and procedures to support the publication and governance of OWL-based service ontologies for the GeoWeb and the Semantic Web. The document references ISO 19135-1 for registration practices and aligns with the procedural foundations of ISO 19101-1.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Register structure and fundamentals: Defines the architecture and core components of a service ontology register, including required properties and data model elements for registered ontologies.
  • Service ontology register item class: Specifies the item class for entries (registered service ontology), its required properties and metadata to ensure consistent discovery and reuse.
  • Conformance and testability: Establishes conformance rules and includes an abstract test suite (normative) to validate register entries and their compliance with ISO 19150-4.
  • Implementation guidance: Describes practical register implementation considerations and namespaces/abbreviated terms to support interoperable deployment.
  • Governance and lifecycle management: Defines roles and responsibilities - register owner, manager, submitting organization, control body, registry manager and user - and processes for proposal, status changes and publication.
  • Interoperability with other frameworks: Informative annex guidance on enabling registration of GeoWeb service ontologies described in other frameworks.

Applications and practical value

  • Semantic interoperability: Enables organizations to publish OWL service ontologies that make ISO/TC 211 standards consumable by Semantic Web agents and applications.
  • Service discovery and reuse: Standardized registry entries improve discoverability of geographic information service components and their behavior for Web-based data processing.
  • Governance and quality assurance: Provides a repeatable process for registration, review and maintenance - useful for national bodies, standardization committees, and organizations publishing GeoWeb services.
  • Integration and reasoning: Supports mapping of ISO standards into OWL ontologies for reasoning, data integration and machine-readable semantics across GIS, Web services and linked data platforms.

Who should use this standard

  • GIS and geomatics standards authors (ISO/TC 211, national committees)
  • Ontology engineers and semantic web developers working on GeoWeb services
  • Registry owners and managers, data custodians and catalog providers
  • Organizations implementing OWL ontologies to expose ISO geographic standards on the Web

Related standards

  • ISO 19150-4 (service ontology conformance)
  • ISO 19135-1 (registration procedures)
  • ISO 19101-1 (reference model - procedural foundation)
  • W3C OWL and Semantic Web specifications

ISO 19150-6:2023(E)
Introduction
The Semantic Web has introduced the Web of Data. The Web of Data is essentially an extension of
the Web oriented towards machine-processable data as opposed to documents. It can be seen as a
tremendous worldwide open database that people can query from their own perspective, understanding
or abstraction of real-world phenomena or events. From it, they can find accurate, detailed and
appropriate answers as people communicate between one another. This approach involves reasoning
capabilities based on ontologies. The Semantic Web brings new opportunities in the geographic
information realm to lay out a new generation of standards that will improve semantic interoperability
of geographic information.
Fundamentally, 'ontology' comes from the field of philosophy and refers to the study of the nature of
the world itself. The information technology and artificial intelligence communities have borrowed
[4]
the term ontology for the explicit specification of a conceptualization. In the field of geographic
information, ontology consists of a formal representation of phenomena of a universe of discourse with
an underlying vocabulary including definitions and axioms that make the intended meaning explicit and
[2]
describe phenomena and their interrelationships. Information technology and artificial intelligence
consider that reality can be abstracted differently depending on the context from which 'things' are
perceived and, as such, recognize that multiple ontologies about the same part of reality can exist. An
ontology can be formalized differently ranging from weak to strong semantics: taxonomy, thesaurus,
[4]
conceptual model, and logical theory.
On the Semantic Web, ontology defines the meaning of data and describes it in a format that machines
and applications can read. An application using data also has access to the inherent semantics of those
data through the ontology associated with them. Ontologies can support integration of heterogeneous
data captured by different communities by relating them based on their semantic similarity. The World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has published the Web Ontology Language (OWL) family of knowledge
[5],[7]
representation languages for authoring ontologies characterized by formal semantics on the Web.
Geographic information Web services are important components that compose the Web. The Semantic
Web can contribute to facilitating the interaction between them by introducing an ontology for
geographic information Web Services. It can support geographic information Web services to automate
their discovery, composition and invocation in order to enable seamless machine interoperation with
minimum human interaction. ISO 19150-4 sets out the ontological framework for the ontological
description of geographic information Web services. However, the discovery of such services requires
the registration of their implementation ontologies. This document sets out a standard registration
and maintenance mechanism for the registration of ISO 19150-4-conformant geographic information
service ontologies. The intention is for this document to be potentially referenceable by an ISO
Registration Authority standard for setting up an international register of geographic information
service ontologies. Annex B of this document provides additional information to enable the registration
of GeoWeb service ontology described in other frameworks such as the Semantic Markup for Web
Services (OWL-S), the Semantic Web Services Ontology (SWSO), the Web Service Modeling Ontology
(WSMO) and the OGC Web Service Common (OWS-C).
This document is not an ISO Registration Authority (RA) document. Any organization may establish
a register of service ontologies. If creating an ISO register, this document can act as a supporting
document for the ISO RA document for that register.
The purpose of this document is different from that of the ISO/IEC 19763 family of International
Standards, which specifies an information artefact called the Registry Summary. The Registry
Summary consists of information that describes administrative aspects, the summary of contents
and the technical access method of the registry. In contrast, registry based on this document can be
described following ISO/IEC 19763-6.
ISO/IEC 18384-3 defines a formal ontology for service-oriented architecture (SOA), an architectural
style that supports service orientation. The terms defined in ISO/IEC 18384-3 are key terms from
ISO/IEC 18384-1. This document does not provide any architectural style to support service orientation,
although GeoWeb service definitions can potentially take advantage of ISO/IEC 18384-3 for their
description.

6 Register structure
6.1 General
Geographic information Web services (GeoWeb services) are important components that compose
the Web. GeoWeb service ontologies facilitate the interaction between GeoWeb services on the
Semantic Web, such as discovery, composition and invocation. The description of GeoWeb services was
standardized in ISO 19150-4.
A service ontology register aims to enable organizations that develop and maintain descriptions of
GeoWeb service in conformance with ISO 19150-4 to provide their user communities with searching
and discovering functionalities of GeoWeb Service ontologies.
A service ontology register provides the mechanism for the registration of ISO 19150-4 GeoWeb service
ontologies and their maintenance in the register.
This clause provides the detailed structure of the ISO standardized service ontology register which
follows and conforms to ISO 19135-1. ISO 19135-1 specifies procedures to be followed in preparing and
maintaining registers of items of geographic information.
6.2 Fundamental structure of the register
The service ontology register is made of three classes that are ServiceOntologyRegister,
ServiceOntologyRegisterItemClass, and RegisteredServiceOntology as depicted in Figure 1. These
classes are specializations of the ISO 19135-1 RE_Register, RE_Itemclass, and RE_RegisterItem classes
respectively. They are described in detail in 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 respectively.
ISO 19150-6:2023(E)
The service ontology register is a simple register that contains registered service ontologies (i.e.
the "items") of a single item class. It is the simplest structure to manage, since the same elements of
information are recorded for all items in the register. It imposes a small cost burden on any one register
manager.
The requirements for representing a service ontology register have one requirement class,
identified as ht tps:// standards .isotc211 .org/ iso19150/ -6/ 1/ req/ Serv iceOntolog yRegister/ (i.e.
19150-6ServiceOntologyRegister) and are listed in Table 1.

7 Register implementation
7.1 General
ISO 19135-1 specifies procedures for managing a register of items of geographic information, as well
as a set of content elements common to all such registers. As shown in Table 3, these include a number
of elements of management information. A service ontology register is an instance of RE_Register
(ISO 19135-1). According to ISO 19135-1, all of the registered items contained in a register belong to
item classes, each of which is described by an instance of RE_ItemClass.
This document specifies the elements of a service ontology register which is based on ISO 19135-1. The
classes defined in this document are all subclasses of ISO 19135-1 classes. However, all registered service
ontologies (i.e. the register items) shall belong to the same and unique ServiceOntologyRegisterItemClass
instance. Therefore, this clause specifies that instance of ServiceOntologyRegisterItemClass.
ISO 19150-6:2023(E)
The requirements for the implementation of a service ontology register have one requirement class,
identified as ht tps:// standards .isotc211 .org/ iso19150/ -6/ 1/ req/ ServiceO ntologyReg isterImple

SIST EN ISO 19150-6:2023 is a standard published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST). Its full title is "Geographic information - Ontology - Part 6: Service ontology register (ISO 19150-6:2023)". This standard covers: This document establishes a standard registration and maintenance mechanism for the registration of ISO 19150-4-conformant geographic information service ontologies. This document makes use of ISO 19135-1 whenever appropriate. This document does not define semantics operators or rules for ontologies, and does not develop any application ontology. In relation to ISO 19101-1:2014, 6.2, this document defines and formalizes the following purposes of the ISO geographic information reference model: -     geographic information service components and their behaviour for data processing purposes over the Web; and -     OWL ontologies to cast ISO/TC 211 International Standards to benefit from and support the Semantic Web. In relation to ISO 19101-1:2014, 8.3, this document addresses the Application:Procedural foundation of the ISO geographic information reference model.
