BS ISO 19127:2019 - Geographical Information: Geodetic Codes and Parameters

Comprehensive Standard for Geodetic Referencing

BS ISO 19127:2019 is the essential standard for anyone working with geographical information and spatial data. This British Standard, identical to the international ISO 19127:2019, provides a comprehensive framework for the definition and description of geodetic codes and parameters used for referencing location data.

Ensuring Data Accuracy and Interoperability

Accurate and consistent geodetic referencing is crucial for the effective exchange and integration of spatial data. BS ISO 19127:2019 establishes a common model and data structure to represent geodetic codes and parameters, enabling seamless data sharing and interoperability across diverse geographic information systems and applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• Defines a conceptual schema for the representation of geodetic codes and parameters
• Provides a comprehensive registry of geodetic codes, including coordinate reference systems, datums, ellipsoids, and more
• Ensures data accuracy by specifying the necessary information to uniquely identify and describe each geodetic code
• Facilitates data exchange and integration by promoting a standardised approach to geodetic referencing
• Supports compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best practices for spatial data management

Who Needs BS ISO 19127:2019?

This standard is essential for any organisation or individual working with geographic information, including:

• Geospatial professionals (e.g., surveyors, cartographers, GIS analysts)
• Spatial data managers and custodians
• Software developers working on geographic information systems
• Researchers and academics in the fields of geography, earth sciences, and spatial data science
