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

Introduction
The widespread application of computers and use of geographic information systems (GIS) have led to the
increased analysis of geographic data within multiple disciplines. Based on advances in information
technology, society’s reliance on such data is growing. Geographic datasets are increasingly being shared,
exchanged, and used for purposes other than their producers’ intended ones. GIS, remote sensing,
automated mapping and facilities management (AM/FM), traffic analysis, geopositioning systems, and other
technologies for Geographic Information (GI) are entering a period of radical integration.
This International Standard provides a framework for developers to create software that enables users to
access and process geographic data from a variety of sources across a generic computing interface within an
open information technology environment.
 “a framework for developers” means that this International Standard is based on a comprehensive,
common (i.e. formed by consensus for general use) plan for interoperable geoprocessing;
 “access and process” means that geodata users can query remote databases and control remote
processing resources, and also take advantage of other distributed computing technologies, such as
software delivered to the user's local environment from a remote environment for temporary use;
 “from a variety of sources” means that users will have access to data acquired in a variety of ways and
stored in a wide variety of relational and non-relational databases;
 “across a generic computing interface” means that ISO 19119 interfaces provide reliable communication
between otherwise disparate software resources that are equipped to use these interfaces;
 “within an open information technology environment” means that this International Standard enables
geoprocessing to take place outside of the closed environment of monolithic GIS, remote sensing, and
AM/FM systems that control and restrict database, user interface, network and data manipulation
functions.

6 Overview of geographic services architecture
6.1 Purpose and justification
The definition of service includes a variety of applications with different levels of functionality to access and
use geographic information. While specialized services will appropriately remain an area for proprietary
products, standardization of the interfaces to those services allows interoperability between proprietary
products. Geographic information system and software developers will use these standards to provide general
and specialized services that can be used for all geographic information. The approach of this International
Standard is integrated with the approaches being developed within the more general world of information
technology.
The geographic services architecture specified in this International Standard has been developed to meet the
following purposes:
 provide an abstract framework to allow coordinated development of specific services;�
 enable interoperable data services through interface standardization;�
4 © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 19119:2006
ISO 19119:2005(E)
 support development of a service catalogue through the definition of service metadata;�
 allow separation of data instances and service instances;�
 enable use of one provider's service on another provider's data;�
 define an abstract framework which can be implemented in multiple ways.�
This International Standard extends the architectural reference model defined in ISO 19101, in which an
Extended Open Systems Environment (EOSE) model for geographic services is defined.
6.2 Interoperability reference model based on ISO RM-ODP
This International Standard is developed based on a system architecture approach to system design known
as the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing; see ISO/IEC 10746. Architecture is defined as a set
of components, connections and topologies defined through a series of views. The geographic infrastructure
enabled by this International Standard will have multiple users, developers, operators and reviewers. Each
group will view the system from their own perspective. The purpose of architecture is to provide a description
of the system from multiple viewpoints. Furthermore, architecture helps to ensure that each view will be
consistent with the requirements and with the other views.
Table 1 shows how the RM-ODP viewpoints are utilized in this International Standard.
Table 1 — Use of RM-ODP viewpoints in this International Standard
Viewpoint Definition of RM-ODP Viewpoint How viewpoint is addressed in this
Name (ISO/IEC 10746-1:1998) International Standard
enterprise a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment This is available in other parts of the
viewpoint that focuses on the purpose, scope and policies for that ISO 19100 series of standards, e.g.,
system reference model (ISO 19101).
computational a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 7, computational viewpoint.
viewpoint that enables distribution through functional
decomposition of the system into objects which interact
at interfaces
information a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 8, information viewpoint.
viewpoint that focuses on the semantics of information and
information processing
engineering a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 9, engineering viewpoint.
viewpoint that focuses on the mechanisms and functions required
to support distributed interaction between objects in the
system
technology a viewpoint on an ODP system and its environment See Clause 10 technology viewpoint; also to
viewpoint that focuses on the choice of technology in that system be addressed by platform-specific service
specifications.
The enterprise viewpoint is concerned with the purpose, scope and policies of an enterprise or business and
how they relate to the specified system or service. An enterprise specification of a service is a model of that
service and the environment with which the service interacts. It covers the role of the service in the business
and the human-user roles and business policies related to the service.
The computational viewpoint is concerned with the interaction patterns between the components (services) of
the system, described through their interfaces. A computational specification of a service is a model of the
service interface seen from a client, and the potential set of other services that this service requires to have
available, with the interacting services described as sources and sinks of information.

SIST EN ISO 19119:2006
ISO 19119:2005(E)
The information viewpoint is concerned with the semantics of information and information processing. An
information specification of an ODP system is a model of the information that it holds and of the information
processing that it carries out.
The engineering viewpoint is concerned with the design of distribution-oriented aspects, i.e., the infrastructure
required to support distribution. An engineering specification of an ODP system defines a networked
computing infrastructure that supports the system structure defined in the computational specification and
provides the distribution transparencies that it defines. ODP defines the following distribution transparencies:
access, failure, location, migration, relocation, replication, persistence and transaction. Security may also be a
mechanism.
The technology viewpoint describes the implementation of the ODP system in terms of a configuration of
technology objects representing the hardware and software components of the implementation. It is
constrained by cost and availability of technology objects (hardware and software products) that would satisfy
this specification. These may conform to platform-specific standards that are effectively templates for
technology objects.
In the computational and information viewpoint clauses of this International Standard, specific approaches that
shall be followed for defining geographic information services are provided. For the engineering and
technology viewpoints, this International Standard defines how a particular service shall be mapped on to an
implementation technology, such as SQL-3/ODBC, ODMG, CORBA, DCOM/OLE, Internet or similar
technology.
6.3 Service abstraction
This International Standard defines the approach to defining services that shall be used in the ISO 19100
series of standards. Figure 1 defines the relationship between the various types of service specifications.
SV_ServiceSpecification defines services without reference to the type of specification or to its implementation.
A SV_PlatformNeutralServiceSpecification provides the abstract definition of a specific type of service but
does not specify the implementation of the service. Service types are given in the geographic service
taxonomy in 8.3. SV_PlatformSpecificServiceSpecification defines the implementation of a specific type of
service. There may be multiple platform-specific specifications for a single platform-neutral specification.
SV_Service is an implementation of a service. The requirements for these specifications are addressed in this
International Standard, in particular in Clause 10.
