| Type of standard | ISO International Standard Meta level |
| Related standard(s) | ISO 19108:2002, Geographic information – Temporal schema ISO/IEC 18026:2009 Information technology -- Spatial Reference Model (SRM) |
| Application | ISO 19111 defines the conceptual schema for the description of spatial referencing by coordinates, optionally extended to spatio-temporal referencing, used in geographic information systems and on maps and charts to store and depict geographic information. |
| Conformance classes | Coordinate reference systems Coordinate operations between two coordinate reference systems |
| Implementation benefits | Coordinates are vague until the system to which they relate is fully defined. ISO 19111 defines a conceptual schema for describing coordinate reference systems. The schema allows interoperability of the coordinate reference system. It also assists in the development of applications that allow the transformation of coordinates. |
| Products | The concepts from ISO 19111 are implemented commonly in GIS software packages. |
