OverviewOverview
ISO TC211 The 19100 series of standards Efforts to create standards for representation of
“Essential Climate Variables”
The UNFCCC’s request to ISO to create a Joint Steering Group Involving TC207 and TC211
IEEE-SA SCC 40 (Earth Observations) Created to support GEOSS
The goal of ISO/TC 211...
... is to develop a family of international standards that will
support the understanding and usage of geographic information increase the availability, access, integration, and sharing of
geographic information, enabling the interoperability of geospatially enabled computer systems
contribute to unification of efforts to address global ecological and humanitarian problems
ease the establishment of geospatial infrastructures on local, regional and global levels
contribute to sustainable development

ISO TC211
19100 series A structured set of standards for information
concerning objects or phenomena with locations relative to the Earth
Specifies methods, tools and services for management of geographic information
Including the definition, acquisition, analysis, access, presentation and transfer of such data
Over 50 projects; 40 have been finalized as ISO standards or technical specifications
Adaptable through use of profiles
Highlights of 191XX Standards
Architectural Reference Model (ISO 19101) Describes computational services to manipulate
geographic information in a distributed processing environment
Presents Enterprise, Informational, Computation, Engineering Viewpoints
General feature model (ISO 19109) Meta-model for developing conceptual models Types, attributes, associations and operations for
“features” (abstractions of real world phenomena), defined in feature catalogs (19110)
Also covers application schema
More 191XX Standards
Metadata (ISO 19115) Widely adopted in earth observation community
Encoding (ISO 19139) XML schemas for describing, validating and exchanging
metadata
19128 (WMS), 19136 (GML), 19142 (WFS) inherited from OGC
Others 19117 – portrayal, 19118 – encoding, 19119 - services Also, standards for DRM, registry management, and quality
measures
IPCC, UNEP, UNFCCC, GTOS and ECVs
The UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) and the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) created the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
To assesses the scientific, technical and socio-economic information necessary to understand the risk of human-induced climate change
GCOS (Global Climate Observing System) was created to ensure that observations and information necessary for addressing climate change are available. Includes GOOS, GTOS, GAW, GCW
Essential Climate Variables
GCOS has identified 47 Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) Determined to be technically and economically
feasible for systematic observation Need to be accurately measured and systematically
monitored Of the 13 Terrestrial ECVs, most are globally
distributed and can be represented as coverages The ECVs encompass many domains and
measurement protocols
UNFCC’s Request to GTOS
In 2006 the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change) the SBSTA (Subsidiary Body for Scientific
and Technological Advice) called on GTOS to: “assess the status of the development of standards for each of
the essential climate variables in the terrestrial domain”
The UNFAO is working with TC211 to develop standards for the representation one of the terrestrial ECVs – Land Cover
GEO Task CL-06-03: Develop intergovernmental mechanisms for coordinating terrestrial observations needed for climate studies and forecasting.
19144 – Classification Systems
Part 1: Classification system structure Based on discrete coverages and classification
rules maintained in registry At DIS stage
Part 2: Land Cover Classification System FAO/UNEP Land Cover Classification System Conceptual Basis for land cover description and
Registration of Classifiers Did not pass vote to advance to DIS, being revised
LCCS
Provides a scale independent method of classifying land cover
Uses a set of diagnostic criteria to successively refine land cover features
Approach is generic and supports all types of land cover and accommodates all existing classification systems
Goal is to create an absolute level of standardization between different land cover classification systems
ISO Joint Steering Group
ISO will establish Joint Steering Group for ECVs to support the UNFCCC’s mandate The JSG will determine which ISO committee or
liaison organization will create each required standard
Expected to happen at TMB September 2008
It is possible that the JSG will ask bodies like the IEEE for technical advice Leary of undue influence from industry
The Standards Coordinating Committee for Earth Observations (SCC 40)
Created to oversee the development of standards essential to the functioning of GEOSS (Global Earth Observations System of Systems ) Includes standards related to sensor systems,
communications, data processing, data archiving, data searching and access, data portrayal and decision support systems
Type 2 - can sponsor a standards development effort involving multiple IEEE technical societies
Approved by the Standards Board 3/2006
SCC 40
The ICEO has taken a leadership role in facilitating standards and interoperability for GEOSS Current SCC40 membership is 8 volunteers
working on GEOSS-related standards projects IEEE members are also working to support
The ICEO Standards Working Group The GEO Standards and Interoperability Forum The GEOSS Standards Registry The GEO Interoperability Process Pilot Projects
