Overview

EN ISO 19152-3:2024 - "Geographic information - Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) - Part 3: Marine georegulation" is a CEN-endorsed international standard that defines concepts, information structures and a basic schema for marine georegulation. Building on ISO 19152‑1 (LADM core components), this part extends the LADM to cover legal marine spaces (international maritime limits and boundaries, resource management areas, marine conservation areas, etc.) and the associated rights, restrictions and responsibilities (RRR). The standard supports consistent modelling of marine limits, governance and spatial units for interoperable geographic information systems (GIS) and regulatory systems.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Conceptual model and schema: Defines a marine georegulation application schema that inherits core LADM packages and adds marine-specific packages and types.
• Conformance classes: Includes at least two conformance classes - Class 1 for marine limits and boundaries (supporting UNCLOS-related needs) and Class 2 for general marine georegulation use cases.
• Package structure: Describes key packages such as Party, Administrative, Spatial Unit, and marine-specific packages (e.g., MRN), plus geometry and special data types.
• Core feature types: Standardizes classes and relationships including MG_Party / MG_PartyMember, MG_BAUnit (basic administrative unit), MG_RRR, MG_Right, MG_Restriction, MG_Responsibility, MG_Governance, MG_FeatureUnit, MG_Location, MG_Point, and related attribute lists (e.g., MG_PartyTypeList, MG_LocationTypeList).
• Geometry and location: Specifies geometry handling and a locationReference data type to represent marine coordinates and spatial extents consistently.
• Interoperability & conformance: Provides conformance requirements and testing guidance for implementing compliant marine georegulation information systems.

Applications

• Marine spatial planning and zoning (MPA designations, conservation areas)
• National hydrographic and maritime boundary agencies (maritime limits and baselines)
• Resource management for living and non‑living marine resources (fisheries, mining permits)
• Environmental regulators and coastal zone management systems
• GIS vendors and system integrators building compliant marine georegulation datasets and services
• Research institutions and policy organizations needing standardized marine governance data

Who should use this standard

• Hydrographic offices, maritime authorities and coastal ministries
• GIS developers and data modelers implementing LADM-based marine systems
• Environmental agencies, conservation NGOs and marine resource managers
• Standards bodies and national mapping organizations seeking interoperable maritime data models

Related standards

• ISO 19152-1 (LADM core components) - foundational model extended by Part 3
• ISO/TC 211 geographic information standards framework and national implementations
• International law references such as UNCLOS for maritime limits (referenced in conformance class definitions)

Keywords: EN ISO 19152-3:2024, LADM, marine georegulation, geographic information, marine limits and boundaries, marine governance, spatial units, RRR, marine conservation areas, marine spatial planning.

ISO 19152-3:2024(en)
Introduction
ISO 19152:2012 specifically addressed the land registration aspects of land administration. This document
(ISO 19152-3:2023) introduces the broader term "georegulation", which addresses any area of geographic
information in which rights, restrictions or responsibilities (RRR) can be applied. Georegulation is the
activity of delimiting and asserting control over geographical spaces through regulations. This document
allows the objects of georegulation to be documented in a systematic and consistent manner. Although
the broader term "georegulation" is used throughout the document, the main element of the title of the
document remains “Land Administration Domain Model” to retain compatibility with the previous edition
of the document.
This document addresses georegulation in the marine environment. Rights and obligations created by
georegulation share a basic structure, as described in ISO 19152-1. Marine activity, including transportation,
resource extraction and food production (fishing and marine aquaculture), is of great importance. Different
rights and obligations can exist on the surface, in the water column and on the seabed. The model defined
in this document can be used for marine cadastres as well as other use cases (such as conservation areas,
living resources and fishery management areas, non-living resources management areas, seabed tenure,
[27]
etc.), and to describe data in support of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) or
other conventions, e.g. administrative areas described in support of safe navigation under the International
[28]
Convention for the Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS).
The oceans are of importance to all humankind, and specific areas along coastlines are under the jurisdiction
of nation states. The jurisdiction of coastal states extends to certain maritime zones. Users and states have
rights, restrictions and responsibilities in specific zones. The area beyond coastal states’ zones is without
[27]
exercise or claim of sovereignty and the rights regarding the resources are vested in mankind. In
specific cases there are private rights, such as the rights associated with fishing or resource extraction.
Some individuals can have property rights on land adjacent to water potentially extending into the area
covered by water. This can be described in a marine cadastre, described using the structures available in
this document.
International marine rights are addressed in international treaties globally through UN conventions and
[27]
between nations; in particular, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Marine
safety and navigation are addressed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) international
[28]
convention on Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) 1974. Other international conventions, treaties and national
laws establish rights and obligations.
The International Hydrographic Organization is an international standards development organization that
specializes in the marine space. It develops standards for safe navigation, marine jurisdictions, oceanography
and other aspects of the marine space in close cooperation with other international organizations such as
[29] [27]
the UN DOALOS and ISO. In particular it supports several UN conventions such as the UNCLOS and the
[28] [30]
SOLAS conventions in cooperation with the UN IMO. Alignment between ISO International Standards
for the marine space and the IHO is important.
United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 14C and United Nations’ General Assembly Resolution
A/RES/59/24 directed the IHO to provide technical standards for maritime zones. The IHO supports
standards development for oceanography, marine science and the UN SOLAS and the UNCLOS conventions.
[31] [18]
In particular, as part of the S-100 Universal Hydrographic Data Model, IHO has developed a series of
[32] [20]
standards and specifications that address the marine space. These include IHO S-121 on maritime
[33]
limits and boundaries and IHO S-122 on marine protected areas.
A characteristic of georegulation objects in the marine space is that their geometry structure can need
[18]
to be aligned with IHO S-100 and ISO 19107. As such, there can be different “feature” types. This is in
alignment with the way "feature" is defined in the general feature model from ISO 19109 and the approach
to feature cataloguing defined in ISO 19110. For their geographic information aspects, the IHO suite of
hydrographic standards is based on many of the ISO/TC 211 suite of Geographic Information documents,
[20] [27]
through S-100. S-121 on maritime limits and boundaries directly supports the UNCLOS and is built
[20]
upon the ISO 19152 series. Due to the close links between S-121 and the ISO 19152 series, this document
makes direct reference to S-100 and S-121.

vii
ISO 19152-3:2024(en)
Since many of the rights and restrictions in the marine space come either from international or bi-national
treaties, or national proclamations or laws, within the context of georegulation, it can be necessary to express
the text or preamble of a treaty or law. A “governance” object has therefore been added to the administrative
structure in this document to allow legal text to be associated with an administrative unit. In many cases
the parties involved in rights, restrictions and responsibilities (RRR) relationships in the marine space are
nations. This means that the code lists of types of parties and administrative units defined in other parts of
the ISO 19152 series will not necessarily apply. Unique code lists have been defined to address the marine
space. Further, treaties are often the reference source for both the administrative and spatial aspects, so the
distinction between types of sources has been eliminated.
The ISO 19152 series is a general abstract model for Land Administrative Domain Model (LADM) systems. It
provides a uniform way of describing national or other systems. The ISO 19152 series is implemented through
[20]
profiles, such as country profiles, in accordance with ISO 19106. S-121 is a profile for the description
[28] [27]
of marine limits and boundaries (MLB) in the context of support for the SOLAS and the UNCLOS
conventions supported by the IHO series of standards. This document has two conformance classes, one
that directly supports the S-121 profile, and the other more general conformance class that supports other
aspects of marine georegulation. The profile for MLB is defined in S-121. The support of other aspects of
marine georegulation will require the development of specific profiles to address these other areas.
[20]
This document is a derived work, developed under a cooperative agreement with the IHO, based on S-121
and used with permission.
In accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, 2018, Rules for the structure and drafting of International
Standards, in International Standards the decimal sign is a comma on the line. However, the General
Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures) at its meeting in 2003
passed unanimously the following resolution:
“The decimal marker shall be either a point on the line or a comma on the line.”
In practice, the choice between these alternatives depends on customary use in the language concerned. In
the technical areas of geodesy and geographic information it is customary for the decimal point always to be
used, for all languages. That practice is used throughout this document.
NOTE The direction of positive rotation used in this document is positive in a counter clockwise direction in
alignment with ISO 19109 and ISO 19107. The IHO S-100 series of standards makes use of “Heading Orientation” which
is positive in a clockwise direction. The user needs to be aware of this difference.

Note 1 to entry: The boundary of a curve is the set of points at either end of the curve. If the curve is a cycle, the two
ends are identical, and the curve (if topologically closed) is considered to not have a boundary. The first point is called
the start point, and the last is the end point. Connectivity of the curve is guaranteed by the "continuous image of a line"
clause. A topological theorem states that a continuous image of a connected set is connected.
