ISO TC 211 (Geographic Information/Geomatics)

ISO TC 211 is a technical committee responsible for developing international standards related to geographic information and geomatics—data about locations on Earth. These standards ensure that geographic data is consistent, accurate, and compatible across different systems and organizations. This helps in sharing maps, spatial data, and geographic information efficiently, supporting applications like urban planning, navigation, environmental monitoring, and disaster management. Essentially, ISO TC 211 creates the guidelines that allow diverse geographic data to work together seamlessly worldwide, improving decision-making and collaboration across various fields.
