THE AD-HOC GROUP ON STANDARDS

ANNUAL REPORT 2006

1. ISO/TC 211

In 2006 the two plenary-meetings of the ISO/TC 211 took place in Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. (May) and in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (November). Because most of the U.S. government employees were not allowed to travel to Saudi-Arabia, the project teams of the Working Group 6 "Imagery" virtually only met once in 2006.

1.1 ISO 19101-2 "Reference model - Part 2: Imagery"

The ISO 19101-2 has reached the Committee Draft stage (CD) and as almost all comments have been solved it will proceed to the Draft International Standard stage (DIS) in 2007.

1.2 ISO 19115-2 "Metadata - Part 2: Extensions for imagery and gridded data"

The ISO 19115-2 has reached the Committee Draft stage (CD) and as almost all comments have been solved it will proceed to the Draft International Standard stage (DIS) in 2007.

1.3 ISO 19130 "Sensor data models for imagery and gridded data"

The Committee Draft 2 of ISO 19130 passed its last vote with about 400 comments. However, since the document reached its time limit, as a consequence a New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) for the resubmission of the document as a Technical Specification (TS) is required for the continuation of the work. The US has agreed to prepare this NWIP and plans to submit it in time for a vote so that an editing meeting can be held at the next ISO/TC 211 plenary in Rome in May 2007.

The NWIP of the ISO/TS 19130 will be enhanced in terms of digital sensors (airborne and space borne), Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), radar, sonar (hydrography), and a precise alignment with other imagery standards such as the ISO 19101-2 and ISO 9115-2.
