Project 1294 - ISO 19116:2004, Geographic information - Positioning
services
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the data structure and content of
an interface that permits
communication between position-providing device(s) and position-using
device(s) so that the position-using
device(s) can obtain and unambiguously interpret position information
and determine whether the results meet
the requirements of the use. A standardized interface of geographic
information with position allows the
integration of positional information from a variety of positioning
technologies into a variety of geographic
information applications, such as surveying, navigation and intelligent
transportation systems. This
International Standard will benefit a wide range of applications for
which positional information is important.
