L1 - Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Geographic Information Systems form a distinct class of information
systems through their unique requirements for collecting, converting, storing,
retrieving, processing, analyzing, creating, and displaying geographic data.
The generic nature of GIS, organizing information by location, is interdisciplinary
and not specific to any application.
The work of L1, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) consists of adopting
or adapting information technology standards and developing digital geographic
data standards. Digital geographic data standards are concerned with creating,
defining, describing, and processing such data.
This technical committee is the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 211.
