==Scope==
This Technical Specification defines the framework for semantic interoperability of geographic information. This framework defines a high level model of the components required to handle semantics in the ISO geographic information standards with the use of ontologies.

==Implementation benefits==
This Technical Specification is meant for defining the ISO international standards that are needed to handle geographic information to support the Semantic Web. 

ISO/TC 19150-1:2012 defines
* the framework for semantic interoperability of geographic information;
* a high level model of the components required to handle semantics in the ISO geographic information standards with the use of ontologies.
