Geographic information — Spatial referencing by coordinates
ISO 19111:2007 defines the conceptual schema for the description of spatial referencing by coordinates, optionally extended to spatio-temporal referencing. It describes the minimum data required to define one-, two- and three-dimensional spatial coordinate reference systems with an extension to merged spatial-temporal reference systems. It allows additional descriptive information to be provided. It also describes the information required to change coordinates from one coordinate reference system to another.
In ISO 19111:2007, a coordinate reference system does not change with time. For coordinate reference systems defined on moving platforms such as cars, ships, aircraft and spacecraft, the transformation to an Earth-fixed coordinate reference system can include a time element.
ISO 19111:2007 is applicable to producers and users of geographic information. Although it is applicable to digital geographic data, its principles can be extended to many other forms of geographic data such as maps, charts and text documents.
The schema described can be applied to the combination of horizontal position with a third non-spatial parameter which varies monotonically with height or depth. This extension to non-spatial data is beyond the scope of ISO 19111:2007 but can be implemented through profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions about ISO 19111:2007
When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.
Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
If you have an extensive portfolio of standards, we recommend using a professional standards management tool. With effects 2.0, you can manage your standards centrally and efficiently. You can optimise your procurement processes and benefit from an integrated information and subscription service. This ensures you are always up to date and never miss any relevant developments.
