The work of preparing International

7、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, al

8、so 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 committ

9、ees 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. In other circumstances, partic

10、ularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a technical committee may decide to publish other types of normative document: an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in an ISO working group and is accepted for publica

11、tion if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members of the parent committee casting a vote; an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee castin

12、g a vote. An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it

13、 must either be transformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn. 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. ISO/TS 19150-1 was prepar

14、ed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics. ISO/TS 19150 consists of the following parts, under the general title Geographic information Ontology: Part 1: Framework Part 2: Rules for developing ontologies in the Web Ontology Language (OWL) 1) The following parts are under

15、 development: Part 3: Semantic operators Part 4: Service ontology Part 5: Domain ontology registry Part 6: Service ontology registry 1) To be published.iv ISO 2012 All rights reserved ISO/TS 19150-1:2012(E) Introduction For more than two decades (since the World Wide Web was established) the web has

16、 been a network of data with proper syntax (structure) but without any meaning (semantics) to the machine. The Semantic Web has introduced the Web of data. The Semantic Web became an extension of the already existing web of data, by adding machine-processable data (with embedded semantics) as oppose

17、d to just documents. It can be seen as a tremendous worldwide open database that people can query from their own perspective, understanding, or abstraction of real world phenomena or events and get accurate, detailed, and appropriate answers. This approach involves reasoning capabilities based on on

18、tologies. Following this path the notion of “Linked Data” has been introduced for data of various kinds, coming from different sources, to be connected together on the Web by the way of HTTP URIs. As a consequence, the Semantic Web and Linked Data bring new opportunities for the geographic informati

19、on realm to lay out a new generation of standards in order to benefit from these in achieving semantic interoperability of geographic information. Ontology consists of a formal representation of phenomena of a universe of discourse with an underlying vocabulary including definitions and axioms that

20、make the intended meaning explicit and describe phenomena and their interrelationships. It supports the representation of concepts that supports the interpretation of data and reasoning to concur to semantic interoperability. Data from different disciplines including geographic information can be in

21、tegrated and contribute to addressing from specific (e.g. oil spill) to global problems (e.g. climate change). This Technical Specification defines a high level framework that structures the standards specifically addressing the semantics of geographic information through ontologies. The proposed ot

22、her parts of the framework include: ISO 19150-2, Geographic information Ontology Part 2: Rules for developing ontologies in the Web Ontology Language (OWL), defines rules and guidelines for the development of ontologies in OWL- DL, including a mapping between UML class diagram elements and OWL-DL an

23、d rules for describing application schemas in OWL-DL. ISO 19150-3, Geographic information Ontology Part 3: Semantic operators, defines semantic proximity operators between concepts that complement geometric and temporal operators. ISO 19150-4, Geographic information Ontology Part 4: Service ontology

24、, identifies the framework for service ontology and defines the description of Web services for geographic information in an ontology language. ISO 19150-5, Geographic information Ontology Part 5: Domain ontology registry, defines an international registry of geographic information domain ontologies

25、 and its maintenance. ISO 19150-6, Geographic information Ontology Part 6: Service ontology registry, defines an international registry of geographic information service ontologies and its maintenance. These parts are completed with the ISO/TC 211 Harmonized ontologies that consist of a set of OWL-D

26、L ontologies that translate and complement the ISO/TC 211 Harmonized models developed in UML. This Technical Specification is intended to be used primarily by standards developers in geographic information. It can also benefit information system analysts, program planners and developers of ISO geogr

27、aphic information standards. It will improve understanding of the basic principles of semantic interoperability and their consistent application to geographic information. ISO 2012 All rights reserved v Geographic information Ontology Part 1: Framework 1 Scope This Technical Specification defines th

28、e framework for semantic interoperability of geographic information. This framework defines a high level model of the components required to handle semantics in the ISO geographic information standards with the use of ontologies. 2 Conformance Any documents claiming conformance with this Technical S

43、ing Ontology 6 Ontology in geographic information 6.1 Introduction Semantics has an essential role in the interoperability of geographic information. The background information to explain this is provided in Annex B. Ontology is a fundamental notion to support semantic interoperability of geographic

44、 information. Accordingly, this Technical Specification adheres to the information technology and artificial intelligence viewpoint for ontology. In agreement with this viewpoint and in the context of ISO geographic information standards, an ontology refers to a formal representation of phenomena wi

45、th an underlying vocabulary including definitions and axioms that make the intended meaning explicit and describe phenomena and their interrelationships. An ontology can be used by software applications to support the sharing, reuse, and integration of geographic information with any other informati

46、on sources within a domain of knowledge as well as between various domains of knowledge. It is represented by classes, relations, properties, attributes, and values. It constitutes a foundation to support reasoning, interpretation, and inference. 6.2 Values of ontologies Ontology is a fundamental no

47、tion for semantic interoperability, for data available on the Semantic Web and as such for geographic information interoperability. The following values of ontology are recognized as important with respect to interoperability of geographic information: Interoperability across domains; Expose ISO geo

48、graphic information standards to other communities that are not aware of the geographic information domain; Automatic machine reasoning and inference; From data description via information description to knowledge description; Focus on online access of information and knowledge (as opposed to offlin

49、e access); Interrelate similar/different c o n c e p t s ( s u c h a s d i f f e r e n t k e y w o r d s f o r s i m i l a r c o n c e p t s i n metadata); and Associate (similar/different) concepts between domains.4 ISO 2012 All rights reserved ISO/TS 19150-1:2012(E) 6.3 Issues of relevance Considering the values of ontologies for interoperability of geographic information, the following issues become relevant for the ISO geographic information st
