Description (English):

ISO 19119:2016 defines requirements for how platform neutral and platform specific specification of services shall be created, in order to allow for one service to be specified independently of one or more underlying distributed computing platforms. ISO 19119:2016 defines requirements for a further mapping from platform neutral to platform specific service specifications, in order to enable conformant and interoperable service implementations. ISO 19119:2016 addresses the Meta:Service foundation of the ISO geographic information reference model described in ISO 19101‑1:2014, Clause 6 and Clause 8, respectively. ISO 19119:2016 defines how geographic services shall be categorised according to a service taxonomy based on architectural areas and allows also for services to be categorised according to a usage life cycle perspective, as well as according to domain specific and user defined service taxonomies, providing support for easier publication and discovery of services.

Abstract

Overview

EN ISO 19119:2016 - Geographic information - Services specifies how to create platform‑neutral and platform‑specific service specifications for geographic information systems (GIS). The standard defines requirements for mapping platform‑neutral service definitions to platform‑specific implementations so services can be implemented in a conformant and interoperable way across distributed computing platforms. EN ISO 19119:2016 is aligned with the ISO geographic information reference model (see ISO 19101‑1:2014) and addresses the Meta:Service foundation for geographic services.

Key topics and technical requirements

Platform‑neutral vs platform‑specific service specifications: rules for defining services independent of particular distributed computing platforms and for mapping those definitions to concrete technologies.
Conformance model: guidance on claiming conformance and using conformance classes to ensure consistent implementations.
Viewpoints: service specifications across multiple viewpoints - enterprise, computational, information, engineering and technology - to support architectural clarity and interoperability.
Service taxonomy: a structured taxonomy based on architectural areas (e.g., boundary/user interaction, model/information management, workflow/task management, processing, communication, system management and security) and additional life‑cycle, domain‑specific or user‑defined taxonomies to aid publication and discovery.
Service chaining and composition: patterns, anatomy and modelling approaches to chain services into workflows and composite processes.
Service interfaces, operations and metadata: requirements for defining service interfaces, operations, behaviour, constraints and metadata to enable discovery and semantic interoperability.
Information viewpoint and semantic interoperability: emphasis on consistent information models to support shared meaning and data exchange.
Use of modelling/tools: examples and support for modelling (e.g., SoaML) and other standards integration.

Practical applications

Designing interoperable geographic services for web and distributed systems (e.g., mapping, spatial processing, data management).
Defining service contracts that can be mapped to REST, SOAP or other platform technologies while preserving a single neutral specification.
Creating registries and discovery services using consistent service taxonomies and metadata.
Assembling service chains and workflows for spatial analysis, data transformation or domain‑specific processing.
Supporting public sector and cross‑border geospatial interoperability initiatives.

Who should use this standard

GIS architects and solution designers
Software developers implementing geospatial web services
System integrators and platform providers
Data custodians, government agencies and standards bodies
Organisations implementing spatial data infrastructures (SDI)

ISO 19101‑1:2014 (geographic information - reference model / Meta:Service foundation)
EN ISO 19119:2016 is intended to work with other ISO geographic information standards and modelling approaches to enable interoperable service specifications and implementations.
