SpatialReferencing by Coordinates
Funny paradox:
An International Organization putting together an International
Standard....
but...
you have to be an "International" United States citizen OR represent the
interests of a United States domiciled organization... to be eligible for
reviewing and providing comments on that work.
"We live in one of two worlds:
else in the world that can establish international standards (USA),
or else in the world that must comply with international standards (the
rest)."

Subject: MI Request for Comments - ISO Draft Standard on SpatialReferencing
by Coordinates
>(Note: the following message has been posted to several special interest
E-mail lists; please excuse duplicate messages)
>
>Since 1997, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
Technical Committee 211, project item 15046-11, has been drafting an
International Standard on Spatial Referencing by Coordinates. In November
1998, the status of the ISO Standard on Spatial Referencing by Coordinates
progressed from that of a working draft to a committee draft. With the
status changed to that of a committee draft, a select larger geospatial data
community can now review the proposed ISO Standard.
>
>The ISO Standard on Spatial Referencing by Coordinates provides a
standardized conceptual schema to fully define coordinate reference systems
so that coordinates referenced to a particular coordinate reference system
uniquely identify a position on the Earth. The proposed standard will
facilitate data sharing and integration, particularly among data sets on
different coordinate systems.
>
>If you are interested in reviewing and commenting on the ISO Standard on
Spatial Referencing by Coordinates and/or by helping to adjudicate the
comments, you must register* by contacting Julie Binder Maitra, U.S.
technical expert to ISO/TC 211 (contact information below) no later than
Friday, December 18, 1998. Please specify if you want the Committee Draft
in hard copy or soft copy. For further information on the registered
review, please contact Ms. Maitra directly.

>*To register, you must be a United States citizen OR represent the
interests of a United States domiciled organization. By registering, you
will receive a copy of the ISO Standard Committee Draft on Spatial
Referencing by Coordinates for the sole purpose of reviewing and providing
comments on that document. The ISO Standard Committee Draft is a
copyrighted document and therefore can not be copied in any forms without
written consent of ISO.
