Supported ISO/TC 211 International Standards

ISO/TC 211 Geographic Information Standards	ESRI's Implementation
ISO 19106:2004—Profiles	ESRI is using the concepts in this standard to produce user-community profiles of metadata and the Simple Features (SF) GML.
ISO 19107:2003—Spatial Schema	ESRI is using the concepts in this standard in the development of ISO 19125 and ISO 19115; basic concepts defined in this standard are implemented in ArcGIS and in the design of geodatabases. This is the foundation for Simple Features GML.
ISO 19128:2005—Web Map Server Interface	ESRI supports this standard in both its server and client implementation. From an implementation perspective, this is equivalent to the OGC WMS 1.3 specification.
ISO 19136:2007—Geography Markup Language	ESRI implements this specification. The GML functionality as specified in this standard is primarily available using the Data Interoperability extension to ArcGIS.
ISO 19108:2003—Temporal Schema	ESRI implements the concepts in this standard in metadata and wherever temporal information is appropriate.
ISO 19109:2005—Rules for Application Schema	Using the concepts described in this standard, ESRI defines application schemas using a conceptual schema language (e.g., UML). The ArcGIS Data Interoperability extension applies the concepts of mapping from one application schema to another for data transfer as defined in the standard. ESRI also uses the same concepts as the general feature model (GFM) as defined in the standard.
ISO 19110:2005—Methodology for Feature Cataloging	ESRI is participating in several standards organizations to develop an encoding for feature catalogs based on the concepts in this standard. Encoded catalogs can be used as additional metadata.
ISO 19111:2003—Spatial Referencing by Coordinates	ESRI implements the basic concepts defined in this standard through GML and participates on the project team for the development of the new amendment for this standard.
ISO 19112:2003—Spatial Referencing by Geographic Identifiers	ESRI uses the concepts defined in this standard in the implementation of gazetteers as well as wherever spatial referencing by geographic identifiers is used.
ISO 19113:2002—Quality Principles; ISO 19114:2003—Quality Evaluation Procedures	ESRI implements the concepts in these standards in Production Line Tool Set (PLTS™) for ArcGIS and in database production services.
ISO 19115:2003—Metadata	ESRI implements this standard with ArcIMS Metadata Services 9.1 and GIS Portal Toolkit 2 and in ArcGIS Desktop. ESRI played a lead role in supporting the development of this standard.
ISO 19139:2007—Metadata: XML Schema Implementation	ISO 19139 is designed to provide a common XML specification for describing, validating, and exchanging geographic metadata. It is intended to promote interoperability and exploit ISO 19115's advantages in a concrete implementation specification. ESRI implements this standard with ArcIMS Metadata Services 9.2 and GIS Portal Toolkit and in ArcGIS Desktop 9.2.
ISO 19118:2005—Encoding	ESRI is using the concepts defined in this standard in the development of SF-GML and ISO 19139.
ISO 19119:2005—Services	ESRI is using the concepts defined in this standard in its implementation of the OGC W*S specifications and is testing implementation of their use in developing OGC profiles for Web Catalog Service.
ISO 19123:2005—Schema for Coverage Geometry	ESRI uses the concepts defined in this standard for exchanging and interfacing with several raster, matrix, and TIN structures.
ISO 19125:2004—Simple Feature Access—Parts 1–2	ESRI implements this standard with ArcSDE technology and ArcGIS Desktop. ESRI played a lead role in supporting the development of this standard.
