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 documents 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).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics,
in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/
TC 287, Geographic Information, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between
ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19131:2007), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates ISO 19131:2007/Amd 1:2011.
The main changes are as follows:
— XML encoding has been added;
— mandatory sections working as place holders have been introduced;
— the UML model has been restructured, introducing new/renamed attributes and elements, and
ISO 19115-1 datatypes have been used where possible;
— new attributes and elements have been introduced to separate information in the overview (6.2.7.2).
— in subclause 6.2.7, "Class IdentificationSection,":
— the description and identification of the data product has been clearly separated from the
description and identification of the specification,
— the data type for attribute purpose has been changed to allow explanation of the purpose of the
data product using use cases,
— the attribute extent has been changed to allow specification of temporal and vertical extent, in
addition to the geographical extent, and

— a new attribute restriction has been introduced, used to describe handling restrictions of the
data product;
— in the Scope:
— relations between scopes have been removed (the concept of super- and sub-scopes), and
— a provision has been introduced requiring that at least one of the attributes level, levelName, or
extent be used for each scope;
— the Data content and structure section (6.5) has been restructured using elements from ISO 19115-1;
— in the Reference systems section (6.6), the data type of the attribute temporalReferenceSystem has
been changed;
— in the Data quality section (6.7):
— the requirement to list data quality elements that have no defined quality requirements has
been removed, and
— a new attribute requirementId has been introduced, to be able to reference a specific data quality
requirement in other contexts;
— in the Data capture and production section (6.8), new elements and attributes have been introduced,
to contain information previously located in the attribute dataCaptureStatement;
— in the Maintenance section (6.9), information about maintenance has been made mandatory, and
the data type of the attribute maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency has been changed, with a new
mandatory attribute introduced;
— in the Delivery section (6.11), a new attribute deliveryService has been introduced;
— the Metadata section (6.12) has been restructured and new attributes introduced to specify
the metadata standard and encoding to be used, as well as a possibility to describe how specific
metadata elements should be used;
— a recommended layout has been introduced;
— a detailed overview regarding changes and backwards compatibility can be found in Annex B.

Introduction
A data product specification is a specification of a dataset or dataset series together with additional
information that will enable it to be created, supplied to and used by another party. In this context of
creating, supplying and using data products, the specification thereof is of essence in a controlled and
standardized process leading to interoperability. The data product specification is the final product
in a process that describes the conceptual formalization of semantics and data structure related to
specific requirements or use cases. It is a precise and full description of the data product in terms of the
requirements that it will or may fulfil. A data product specification is primarily a technical document
that may contain non-technical elements such as narrative descriptions of some aspects, like the
overview or data capture statements. However, for various reasons compromises can need to be made
in the implementation.
The purpose of this document is to provide requirements on the content of data product specifications,
in conformance with other existing International Standards for geographic information. This
conformance is at different levels. Firstly, there is the aspect of a dataset and its metadata conforming
to a data product specification, and secondly that the data product specification conforms to this
document. Some of the items used to specify the data product in a data product specification can also
be used as metadata for a data product that conforms to the data product specification. Figure 1 shows
how a data product specification relates to datasets and their metadata.
Figure 1 — Relations between this document (ISO 19131), the data product specification and
the datasets
A data product specification may be created and used on different occasions, by different parties and
for different reasons. It may, for example, be used for the original process of collecting data as well as

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19131:2007), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates ISO 19131:2007/Amd 1:2011.
The main changes are as follows:
— XML encoding has been added;
— mandatory sections working as place holders have been introduced;
— the UML model has been restructured, introducing new/renamed attributes and elements, and
ISO 19115-1 datatypes have been used where possible;
— new attributes and elements have been introduced to separate information in the overview (6.2.7.2).
— in subclause 6.2.7, "Class IdentificationSection,":
— the description and identification of the data product has been clearly separated from the
description and identification of the specification,
— the data type for attribute purpose has been changed to allow explanation of the purpose of the
data product using use cases,
— the attribute extent has been changed to allow specification of temporal and vertical extent, in
addition to the geographical extent; and

Introduction
A data product specification is a specification of a dataset or dataset series together with additional
information that will enable it to be created, supplied to and used by another party. In this context of
creating, supplying and using data products, the specification thereof is of essence in a controlled and
standardized process leading to interoperability. The data product specification is the final product
in a process that describes the conceptual formalization of semantics and data structure related to
specific requirements or use cases. It is a precise and full description of the data product in terms of the
requirements that it will or may fulfil. A data product specification is primarily a technical document
that may contain non-technical elements such as narrative descriptions of some aspects, like the
overview or data capture statements. However, for various reasons compromises can need to be made
in the implementation.
The purpose of this document is to provide requirements on the content of data product specifications,
in conformance with other existing International Standards for geographic information. This
conformance is at different levels. Firstly, there is the aspect of a dataset and its metadata conforming
to a data product specification, and secondly that the data product specification conforms to this
document. Some of the items used to specify the data product in a data product specification can also
be used as metadata for a data product that conforms to the data product specification. Figure 1 shows
how a data product specification relates to datasets and their metadata.

the datasets
A data product specification may be created and used on different occasions, by different parties and
for different reasons. It may, for example, be used for the original process of collecting data as well as

for products derived from already existing data. It may be created by producers to specify their product
or by users to state their requirements.
This document describes the content, structure and encoding of a data product specification.
