Geographic information/Geomatics (ISO/TC 211) has produced a number of standards that have been adopted and adapted for use in South Africa by the local SABS mirror committee, SC 71E, Geographic standardisation information. The aim of this work is to establish a structured set of standards for information concerning objects or phenomena that are directly or indirectly associated with a location relative to the earth. These standards, among other things, specify methods, tools and services for the acquisition, processing, management, analysis, access, presentation and transfer of geographic information in digital format between different users, systems and locations.
ISO/TC 211 collaborates with the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc (OGC) on standards development. OGC organisation is a non-profit, international, voluntary consensus standard that publishes specifications for geospatial and location-based services. Among these, the more well-known are the Web Map Service (WMS) and the Web Feature Service (WFS). The Introduction to GIS Standards short course demonstrates the practical use of these standards.
