CEN/TC 287

TC 287: 'Geographic information':

• Standardisation of digital geographic information• Structured framework of standards and guidelines• Specify a methodology to

– define geographic data and services– describe geographic data and services– transfer geographic data and services

• Close co-operation with ISO/TC 211 • Consistent use of geographic information • Support a spatial data infrastructure


CEN/TC 287

Benefits• underpin common spatial infrastructures required by European

governments;• provide affordable routes to geographic information in an

enlarged European Union;• enable research and development to be carried out on a pan-

European basis;• open up new spatial data resources;• increase availability, usability and understanding of data;• re-use data in multiple applications;• enable interoperability between systems.


CEN/TC 287

PrioritiesTo facilitate the building of the infrastructure for spatial

information in Europe by:• adopt ISO 19100 series of standards as CEN standards;• developing new standards that underpin INSPIRE

implementing rules;• developing other new standards, specifications and technical

reports;• ensuring interoperability with ISO/TC 211, INSPIRE and OGC;• promoting the use of and education on standards for

geographic information.

EN ISO 19110

Geographic information — Methodology for feature cataloguing

• Provides a standard framework for organizing and reporting the classification of real world phenomena in a set of geographic data.

• A feature catalogue should present the particular abstraction represented in a given dataset clearly, precisely, and in a form readily understandable and accessible to users of the data.


EN ISO 19115

Geographic information – Metadata• Provide data producers with appropriate information to

characterize their geographic data properly;• Facilitate the organization and management of metadata for

geographic data;• Enable users to apply geographic data in the most efficient

way by knowing its basic characteristics;• Facilitate data discovery, retrieval and reuse. Users will be

better able to locate, access, evaluate, purchase and utilize geographic data;

• Enable users to determine whether geographic data in a holding will be of use to them.


CEN/TR 15449

Standards, specifications, technical reports and guidelines, required to implement Spatial Data Infrastructure

• to identify standards required to implement a SDI in Europe;

• to propose a roadmap for future standards;• to provide recommendations for measures to be

taken in order to support implementation and maintenance of a SDI.
