fifth meeting was held in Victoria, BC, Canada, 09/10 March 1998 • sixth meeting was held in Beijing, China, 23 September 1998 Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
purpose of WG 5: • to provide the bridge between the base standards under development, and existing standards and products • to provide a mechanism to put the base standards to use • two projects: • 15046-6 Profiles • 15854 Functional Standards Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
international GI standards already exist • on the ISO/TC 211 agenda is the harmonisation of existing standards into profiles of more general standards • main goal of TC 211 is interoperability, for • flow and re-use of information • competition on an equal basis • reduction of costs Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
four steps in achieving these goals: • identifying information components from recognised functional standards as input to TC 211 • development of base standards in WGs 1-4 • development of profiles using TC 211 base standards • development of product specifications using TC 211 profiles and base standards Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
Functional Standards The simple picture harmoni- sation ŸŸŸŸŸ Suite of Base Standards Profiles ISPs Product Specs Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
Work Item 15854 on Functional Standards accepted in ballot June 97 • scope: • taxonomy of recognized functional standards • identification of components of these FSs that can be harmonised between themselves and with TC 211 base standards • assistance with development of profiles corresponding to these functional standards • PT leader Debra LaMarque Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
ad-hoc Project Team meeting in The Hague, The Netherlands, May 1997 • first meeting of Project Team in Oxford, UK, 30 September 1997, embedded in WG 5 meeting • second meeting of Project Team in Victoria, BC, Canada, 10 March 1998, embedded in WG 5 meeting Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
functional standards identified to-date: • DIGEST (DGIWG) • GDF (TC 204) • S-57 (IHO) • SDTS (not a functional standard) contri-buted its modularity concept Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
technical report Functional Standards, published 20 July 1997: • review of functional standards • mapping of functional standards to the ISO 15046 base standards (profiling) • harmonisation of functional standards (introducing the modularity concept for the base standards) • appendices with inputs and guidance for relevant base standards Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
Work Item 15046-6 - Profiles • scope: • definition of guidelines for defining a profile/product within the TC 211 family of standards • establishment of a registration procedure • PT leader: Doug O’Brien Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
Committee Draft was due for March 1998 • delayed due to recent re-engineering of JTC1 directives (which provide primary input for registration procedure) • new version of document 04 Sep 1998 • presented and discussed in WG 5 meeting in Beijing Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
contents of document: • explanatory section on profiling • guidelines for creation of profiles • guidelines for creation of product specifi-cations • registration procedure • incorporates modularity concept for the base standards Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
document status: WG 5 working draft • comments to WG 5 until 31 October 1998 for final WD • procedure part will be discussed with ISO Central Secretariat • depending on result of discussion CD will be created / schedule to be determined Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
in Beijing fruitful discussions with other WGs/PTs on relationship of Profiles to other WIs, and modularity concept • 2 recent DGIWG proposals for the creation of ISPs were discussed: • purpose: to create awareness for profiles/ISPs • comprise a simple and a complicated ISP Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
due to the fact that FSs are continuously evolving, a continuation of the current WI to develop a technical amendment, at stage 0, is proposed Presentation to 7th Plenary of ISO TC 211, Beijing, China, 24 September 1998
