Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
The widespread application of computers and use of geographic information systems (GIS) have led to the
increased analysis of geographic data within multiple disciplines. Based on advances in information
technology, society’s reliance on such data is growing. Geographic datasets are increasingly being shared,
exchanged, and used for purposes other than their producers’ intended ones. GIS, remote sensing,
automated mapping and facilities management (AM/FM), traffic analysis, geopositioning systems, and other
technologies for Geographic Information (GI) are entering a period of radical integration.
This International Standard provides a framework for developers to create software that enables users to
access and process geographic data from a variety of sources across a generic computing interface within an
open information technology environment.
 “a framework for developers” means that this International Standard is based on a comprehensive,
common (i.e. formed by consensus for general use) plan for interoperable geoprocessing;
 “access and process” means that geodata users can query remote databases and control remote
processing resources, and also take advantage of other distributed computing technologies, such as
software delivered to the user's local environment from a remote environment for temporary use;
 “from a variety of sources” means that users will have access to data acquired in a variety of ways and
stored in a wide variety of relational and non-relational databases;
 “across a generic computing interface” means that ISO 19119 interfaces provide reliable communication
between otherwise disparate software resources that are equipped to use these interfaces;
 “within an open information technology environment” means that this International Standard enables
geoprocessing to take place outside of the closed environment of monolithic GIS, remote sensing, and
AM/FM systems that control and restrict database, user interface, network and data manipulation
functions.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 19119:2005(E)

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L'ISO 19119 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 211, Information géographique/Géomatique.
La présente version française de l'ISO 19119:2005 incorpore l'ISO 19119:2005/Amd.1:2008 qui se concentre
sur les extensions du modèle de métadonnées du service et concerne une description plus détaillée de
l'ensemble de données associé d'une instance de service.

Introduction
L'application répandue d'ordinateurs et l'utilisation de systèmes d'informations géographiques (SIG) ont
conduit à la progression de l'analyse de données géographiques dans diverses disciplines. Fondée sur les
avancées des technologies de l'information, la dépendance de la société envers ce type de données est
grandissante. Les ensembles de données géographiques sont de plus en plus partagés, échangés et utilisés
à des fins autres que celles auxquelles leurs producteurs les avaient destinées. Les SIG, la télédétection, la
cartographie automatisée et la gestion des installations (AM/FM), l'analyse du trafic, les systèmes de
géopositionnement et d'autres technologies relatives à l'Information Géographique (IG) entrent dans une
période d'intégration radicale.
La présente Norme internationale fournit un cadre aux développeurs afin de créer des logiciels qui permettent
aux utilisateurs l'accès aux données géographiques ainsi que leur traitement à partir de sources diverses par
le biais d'une interface de calcul générique dans un environnement de technologie de l'information ouvert.
 «Un cadre pour les développeurs» signifie que la présente Norme internationale est fondée sur un plan
détaillé et commun (c'est-à-dire établi par consensus pour l'usage général) pour un traitement
géographique interoperable.
 «L'accès aux données géographiques ainsi que leur traitement» signifie que les utilisateurs de données
géographiques peuvent interroger des bases de données distantes et utiliser des ressources de
traitement contrôlées à distance, tout en tirant avantage des autres technologies d'informatique distribuée,
comme les logiciels pouvant être utilisés sur l'environnement local de l'utilisateur à partir d'un
environnement distant pour un usage temporaire.
 «À partir de sources diverses» signifie que les utilisateurs auront accès à des données acquises de
diverses façons et stockées dans un large éventail de bases de données relationnelles et non
relationnelles.
 «Par le biais d'une interface de calcul générique» signifie que des interfaces ISO 19119 fournissent une
communication fiable entre des ressources logicielles sinon disparates qui sont équipées pour utiliser ces
interfaces.
 «Dans un environnement de technologie de l'information ouvert» signifie que la présente Norme
internationale permet au traitement géographique d'avoir lieu hors de l'environnement clos du SIG
monolithique, de la télédétection et des systèmes AM/FM qui contrôlent et restreignent la base de
données, l'interface utilisateur, les fonctions relatives au réseau et les fonctions de manipulation de
données.
NORME INTERNATIONALE ISO 19119:2005(F)

Information géographique — Services
1 Domaine d'application
Le domaine d'application de la présente Norme internationale est le suivant:
Identification et définition des schémas architecturaux relatifs aux interfaces de service utilisées pour les
informations géographiques et la définition des relations avec le modèle OSE (Environnement de systèmes
ouverts).
La présente Norme internationale présente une taxonomie des services géographiques et une liste
d'exemples de services géographiques placés dans la taxonomie des services.
La présente Norme internationale prescrit comment créer une spécification de service applicable à toutes les
plates-formes et comment dériver les spécifications de service propres à une plate-forme conformément à
cela.
La présente Norme internationale fournit des lignes directrices pour la sélection et la spécification des
services géographiques suivant des perspectives aussi bien propres à la plate-forme qu'applicables à toutes
les plates-formes.
2 Conformité
Tout produit revendiquant sa conformité avec la présente Norme internationale doit satisfaire à toutes les
exigences décrites dans la suite de tests abstraits donnée dans l'Annexe A.
NOTE La définition d'une suite de tests abstraits apparaît dans l'ISO 19105.
