Overview

kSIST FprEN ISO 19157-3:2026 (Geographic information - Data quality - Part 3: Data quality measures register) is an international standard specified by SIST, aligned with ISO 19135-1:2015. This standard defines the framework and procedures for establishing, maintaining, and publishing a comprehensive register of data quality measures for geographic information. The focus is on ensuring that geographic data quality measures are consistently managed through a transparent and standardized registration process, supporting both human and machine-readable access (including XML and Geospatial-API implementations).

Providing a clear structure and governance model, the standard supports stakeholders in reliably comparing, reporting, and evaluating the quality of geographic datasets, which is vital for data producers, users, and organizations adopting geospatial technologies.

Key Topics

• Data Quality Measures Register
  Establishes the requirements for a managed, accessible register that holds definitions and metadata for geographic data quality measures in compliance with ISO 19157-1.

• Governance and Roles
  Clearly describes organizational roles including register owner, register manager, control body, register system manager, proposer, and register user, ensuring accountability and traceability.

• Registration Process
  Outlines the procedures for submitting, reviewing, approving, updating, and retiring data quality measures within the register to maintain integrity and authority.

• Metadata and Content Structure
  Specifies metadata requirements and structured content format for each data quality measure, supporting robust documentation and interoperability.

• Machine-Readable Implementation
  Requires the register to be available in machine-readable formats (such as XML or via Geospatial-API), facilitating automated data integration and evaluation in information systems.

• Access and Use
  Details procedures for accessing the register, offering both open public interfaces for end-users and controlled permissions for contributors and managers.

Applications

Implementing ISO 19157-3:2026 enables organizations to:

• Standardize Geographic Data Quality Assessment
  By referring to a centralized register, geographic information system (GIS) professionals and data users can objectively evaluate and compare dataset quality, leading to informed dataset selection.

• Enhance Interoperability
  Machine-readable registers allow seamless integration of data quality measures into various geospatial platforms and applications, supporting data exchange and harmonization across organizations and borders.

• Support Compliance and Reporting
  Data producers can document conformance to recognized data quality measures, improving transparency for regulatory, commercial, and operational requirements.

• Facilitate Automated Data Quality Evaluation
  Automated systems can reference standardized quality measures from the register, enabling real-time quality checks and digital reporting within geospatial workflows.

• Increase Trust and Utility of Geographic Data
  With transparent, traceable records of data quality measures and their changes, users have greater confidence in the datasets supporting their analysis or decision making.

Related Standards

For comprehensive adoption and best-practice implementation, the following international standards are closely related:

• ISO 19157-1: Geographic information - Data quality - Part 1: General requirements
  Defines the general principles and framework for geospatial data quality, which underpin the register’s content.

• ISO 19135-1:2015: Geographic information - Procedures for item registration [Part 1]
  Specifies the overall process for maintaining registers relevant to geographic information.

• ISO 19103: Conceptual schema language
  Provides foundational definitions for basic data types used in geographic information.

• ISO 19115-1: Geographic information - Metadata - Part 1: Fundamentals
  Specifies core metadata standards referenced within the data quality measures register.

By aligning with kSIST FprEN ISO 19157-3:2026, organizations can effectively manage, share, and access authoritative data quality measures, enhancing the reliability and value of geographic information across various scientific, commercial, and governmental applications.

Introduction
Geographic data are increasingly being shared, interchanged and used for purposes other than their
producers’ intended ones. Information about the quality of available geographic data is vital to the process
of selecting a dataset in that the value of data are directly related to its quality. A user of geographic data
may have multiple datasets from which to choose. Therefore, it is necessary to compare the quality of the
datasets to determine which best fulfils the requirements of the user.
To facilitate comparisons, it is essential that the results of the quality are expressed in a comparable way and
that there is a common understanding of the data quality measures that have been used. These data quality
measures provide descriptors of the quality of geographic data through comparison with the universe of
discourse. The use of incompatible measures makes data quality comparisons impossible to perform. This
document standardizes the components and structures of data quality measures and defines commonly
used data quality measures.
Data quality measures defined in a standard register enable the consistent use of data quality measures
throughout various geographic applications adopting standard quality evaluation procedures, such as the
one defined in the ISO 19157-1.
This document specifies the process of establishing, maintaining and publishing register of data quality
measures in compliance with ISO/DIS 19135. It identifies and describes components and content structure
of a register for data quality measures, and the registration and maintenance procedure. This document also
specifies the required machine-readable implementation of the register and the procedure of access and use
of the register. The ISO 19157-3 data quality measures register is applicable to both data producers and
users. Data producers can use the ISO 19157-3 data quality measures register to assess and describe how
well a dataset conforms to its product specification. Data users can use ISO 19157-3 data quality measures
register to perform their own evaluation and determine whether or not specific geographic data are of
sufficient quality for their particular application.
ISO 19157-3 data quality measures register and the ISO 19157-3 data quality measures register system are
referred to as the ISO data quality measures register and the ISO data quality measures register system.
ISO 19157-3 data quality measures and ISO 19157-3 basic measures are referred to as the register items.
This document describes how the requirements of ISO 19135 areapplied to the ISO data quality measures
register. The only requirement class in ISO 19135 not used in this document is requirements class
'Requirements class of the appeal process' (https://standards.isotc211.org/19135/-/3/req/appeal-process).
See Annex C for details.
Annex A, which is normative, provides a test for conformance to this document.
Annex C, which is informative, provides and overview of ISO data quality measures register's compliance
with ISO/DIS 19135.

7 Registration of data quality measures
Data quality measures defined in the ISO data quality measures register allow users (humans and machines)
the consistent use of data quality measures throughout various geographic applications adopting standard
quality evaluation procedures, such as the one defined in the ISO 19157-1.
The structure and components of the measures in the ISO data quality measures register are defined in
ISO 19157-1 and presented in Figure 1. ISO data quality measures register uses basic data types as defined
in ISO 19103.
ISO data quality measures register is an online register from which data (i.e. measures) and their metadata
are retrievable by their identifier using a standardised free and open communication protocol. Anyone
with a computer and an internet connection can access the register and its content. As specified in Clause 8,
access levels to the register vary depending on the role users of the register fulfil.
ISO data quality measures can be used in one or several data quality evaluation reports with all required
components for data quality measures, as specified in this register specification.
The ISO data quality measures register enables the user to refer to ISO data quality measures from an
authoritative source each time when needed, instead of re-defining the measures within a data quality report.
