To be discussed later in this Plenary ISO 19135:200X Procedures for registration of geographical information items Project Leader: Charles Roswell Text for IS was sent to ISO in 2005-04 (N1788)

4. DIS deliverables ISO/DIS 19131 Data product specification Project Leader: João de Matos Editor: Robert Walker Target date for ballot: 2005-10-27

5. WI19138 Data Quality Measures Project Leader: Gerhard Joos Editor: Erik Stenborg Target: Technical Specification, TS Current status: –Result of DTS Vote, N1769 (16 Yes, 2 No (US, UK), 2 Abstain, 2 not voted) Editing Committee Meeting: –2005-06-07/08, Stockholm Almost done; polish up UML diagrams, and, when approved by EC members, send it for 6-week review by MBs, and then issue it as TS

6. WI 6709 Standard representation of geographic point location by coordinates Project Leader: Kevin Kirby Editor: Larry Hothem Target: IS (revision of ISO 6709:1983) Current Status: –Result of CD Vote: N1821 (14 Yes, 3 No (Denmark, Japan, Korea)) Editing Committee Meeting – 2005-06-06/08, Stockholm Almost done. After getting confirmation by EC members, send it to TC for 6-week review by MBs before issuing it as DIS One possible NWIP related to this project

7. Investigating need for a standardized format for description of coordinate representation Partial List: ISO 6709:1983 GML and other XML flavor Compact text encoding of latitude/longitude coordinates (Microsoft) SHAPE (ESRI) DGN VPF DXF MID/MIF E00 DLG and so on... Each represents geographic point location by coordinates differently ⇒ Transformation for interoperability ⇒ Need the format of geographic location The encoding format should be either within the geographic location representation or within a format registry The registry should include: –Unique identifier –Name –Version –Data elements and their types –Structure of the data (type of separator,...) –Compression mechanism Investigate the potential demand for such a format registry with reviewing relevant issues Draft NWIP as a Stage 0 Project will be issued from WG9 Variety of data formats/profiles used to represent/encode geographic point location in character/binary/etc.

8. WI 19113 & 19115 Amendments (Quality Harmonization Project) Project Leader: Erik Stenborg Editor: David Danko Type: Pleliminary Work (Stage 0 Project) NWI ballot result in N1819 (2005-05-13) –Revised result of voting on document N 1770 New work item proposal (stage 0): Amendment to ISO 19113:2002 Geographic information - Quality principles and ISO 19115:2003 Geographic information – Metadata 19 Yes, 2 No –Approved as a Stage 0 Project (Resolution 320) in Stockholm –24 Experts nominated by MBs + 10 more Meetings: –Adhoc meeting in Stockholm, 2005-06 –1 st meeting in Montreal, 2005-09-12/13

9. Issues Scope: –Concentrate on 19113 & 19115 –Consider other quality-related standards where relevant Agreed to making a review summary to clarify what are the problems –Made an outline of the report and a schedule Possible NWIP(s) may be submitted when the problems are identified in the report
