[IP4-1-4] ISO standards

ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 164 national standards bodies. Through its members, it brings together experts to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market relevant International Standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges. ISO/TC 211 Geographic information/Geomatics provides Standardization in the field of digital geographic information. Note: This work aims 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 may specify, for geographic information, methods, tools and services for data management (including definition and description), acquiring, processing, analyzing, accessing, presenting and transferring such data in digital / electronic form between different users, systems and locations.

Introduction

Delete subconcepts (is too detailed for separate description) and merge into this concept. Make this the concept that identifies the relevant ISO standards for EO.

[IP4-1-4-1] ISO 19115 Metadata (part 2) is subconcept of [IP4-1-4] ISO standards:
ISO 19115-2:2009 extends the existing geographic metadata standard by defining the schema required for describing imagery and gridded data. It provides information about the properties of the measuring equipment used to acquire the data, the geometry of the measuring process employed by the equipment, and the production process used to digitize the raw data. This extension deals with metadata needed to describe the derivation of geographic information from raw data, including the properties of the measuring system, and the numerical methods and computational procedures used in the derivation.

[IP4-1-4-2] ISO 19129 Imagery, gridded and coverage data framework is subconcept of [IP4-1-4] ISO standards
ISO/TS 19129:2009 defines the framework for imagery, gridded and coverage data. This framework defines a content model for the content type imagery and for other specific content types that can be represented as coverage data. These content models are represented as a set of generic UML patterns for application schemas.

[IP4-1-4-3] ISO 19157 Data quality is subconcept of [IP4-1-4] ISO standards
ISO 19157:2013 establishes the principles for describing the quality of geographic data. It defines components for describing data quality , specifies components and content structure of a register for data quality measures , describes general procedures for evaluating the quality of geographic data , establishes principles for reporting data quality.
