Overview
| Full name | ISO 19162:2015, Geographic information - Well known text representation of coordinate reference systems |
| Version | Edition 1 |
| Amendments | None |
| Corrigenda | None |
| Published by | ISO/TC 211 |
| Languages | English |
| Online overview | https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#!iso:std:63094:en |
| 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 geo-spatial 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. |
