Overview
| Full name | ISO 19162:2015, Geographic information - Well known text representation of coordinate reference systems |
| Version | Edition 1 |
| Amendments | None |

| Type of standard | ISO International Standard Application level |
| Application | ISO 19162 defines the structure and content of a text string implementation of the abstract model for coordinate reference systems as described in ISO 19111:2007 Geographic information - Spatial referencing by coordinates. Well Known Text (WKT) is commonly used in database implementations to store and transport geographic data. |
| Implementation benefits | WKT offers a compact machine- and human-readable representation of geometric objects. This standard extends earlier WKT to allow for the description of coordinate operations. |
