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.
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
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.
This first edition of ISO 19135-1 cancels and replaces ISO 19135:2005, which has been technically revised.

ISO 19135-1:2015(E)

Introduction
This part of ISO 19135 specifies procedures for the registration of items of geographic information.
ISO/IEC JTC 1 defines registration as the assignment of an unambiguous name to an object in a way
that makes the assignment available to interested parties. Items of geographic information that may
be registered are members of object classes specified in technical standards such as those developed
by ISO/TC 211.
NOTE In this International Standard, the definition of registration has been changed so that registration is
the assignment of linguistically independent identifiers, rather than names, to items of geographic information.
Registration of items of geographic information offers several benefits to the geographic information
community. Registration
a) supports wider use of registered items both by providing international recognition to the fact that
such items conform to an ISO International Standard and by making them publicly available to
potential users,
b) provides both immediate recognition to extensions of an International Standard and a source for
updates to that International Standard during the regular maintenance cycle,
c) may provide a single mechanism to access information concerning items that are specified in
different standards,
d) provides a mechanism for managing temporal change,
NOTE Items specified in a standard or in a register may change over time either due to changes in
technology or for other reasons. Published standards do not clearly document what changes may have
occurred, and do not include information about earlier versions of specified items. Such information can be
maintained in a register.
e) may be used to make sets of standardized tags available for encoding of registered items in
data sets, and
f) supports cultural and linguistic adaptability by providing both a means for recording equivalent
names of items used in different languages, cultures, application areas and professions and a means
for making those equivalent names publicly available.
This part of ISO 19135 specifies procedures to be followed in preparing and maintaining registers
of items of geographic information. Any organization may choose to establish registers of items of
geographic information that conform to this part of ISO 19135. Annex C is particularly applicable to
registers established under the auspices of ISO/TC 211.
A goal of this part of ISO 19135 is to achieve a balance between minimizing the number of registers for
items of geographic information and minimizing the burden on the registration authorities.
Following experience of setting up registers in user communities, there are fewer requirements in this
version than previously. Because of this, implementations of the previous edition of ISO 19135 should
be conformant to this part of ISO 19135. A log of changes from the previous version (ISO 19135:2005) is
provided in Annex F.
The level of abstraction for the UML model described in ISO 19135-1 is the “Abstract Schema level”
according to ISO 19103 requirement 4.

Part 1:
Fundamentals
1 Scope
This part of ISO 19135 specifies procedures to be followed in establishing, maintaining, and publishing
registers of unique, unambiguous, and permanent identifiers and meanings that are assigned to items of
geographic information. In order to accomplish this purpose, this part of ISO 19135 specifies elements
that are necessary to manage the registration of these items.
2 Conformance
2.1 General
This part of ISO 19135 defines three conformance classes for registers:
— Core schema – the minimum requirements for establishing, maintaining, and publishing registers;
— Extended schema – additional requirements to be conformant to the most frequently used model
elements in the previous edition (ISO 19135:2005);
— Hierarchical register.
To conform to this part of ISO 19135, a register of items of geographic information shall satisfy all of
the requirements specified in one of the three conformance levels described in 2.2 to 2.4, with the
corresponding abstract test suite given in Annex A.
2.2 Core conformance class
Table 1 defines the characteristics of the core conformance class.

4.1.4
hierarchical register
structured set of registers (4.1.9) for a domain of register items, composed of a principal register (4.1.8)
and a set of subregisters (4.1.16)
EXAMPLE ISO 6523 is associated with a hierarchical register. The principal register contains organization
identifier (4.1.5) schemes and each subregister contains a set of organization identifiers that comply with a single
organization identifier scheme.
4.1.5

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 19135-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19135:2005), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 19135 consists of the following parts, under the general title Geographic information — Procedures for
item registration:
 Part 1: Fundamentals
 Part 2: XML Schema Implementation

Introduction
This part of ISO 19135 specifies procedures for the registration of items of geographic information.
ISO/IEC JTC 1 defines registration as the assignment of an unambiguous name to an object in a way that
makes the assignment available to interested parties. Items of geographic information that may be registered
are members of object classes specified in technical standards such as those developed by ISO/TC 211.
NOTE 1 In this International Standard, the definition of registration has been changed so that registration is the
assignment of linguistically independent identifiers, rather than names, to items of geographic information.
Registration of items of geographic information offers several benefits to the geographic information
community. Registration:
a) supports wider use of registered items both by providing international recognition to the fact that such
items conform to an ISO International Standard and by making them publicly available to potential users;
b) provides both immediate recognition to extensions of an International Standard and a source for updates
to that International Standard during the regular maintenance cycle;
c) may provide a single mechanism to access information concerning items that are specified in different
standards;
d) provides a mechanism for managing temporal change;
NOTE 2 Items specified in a standard or in a register may change over time either due to changes in technology or for
other reasons. Published standards do not clearly document what changes may have occurred, and do not include
information about earlier versions of specified items. Such information can be maintained in a register.
e) may be used to make sets of standardized tags available for encoding of registered items in data sets;
and
f) supports cultural and linguistic adaptability by providing both a means for recording equivalent names of
items used in different languages, cultures, application areas and professions, and a means for making
those equivalent names publicly available.
This part of ISO19135 specifies procedures to be followed in preparing and maintaining registers of items of
geographic information. Any organization may choose to establish registers of items of geographic information
that conform to this part of ISO 19135. Informative Annex C is particularly applicable to registers established
under the auspices of ISO/TC 211.
A goal of this part of ISO 19135 is to achieve a balance between minimizing the number of registers for items
of geographic information and minimizing the burden on the registration authorities.
Following experience of setting up registers in user communities, there are fewer requirements in this version
than previously. Because of this, implementations of the previous edition of ISO 19135 should be conformant
to this part of ISO 19135. A log of changes from the previous version (ISO 19135:2005) is provided in Annex F.
