I Basics of standards
An example is the ISO/TR 19121 (lmagery and gridded data). The ISO/TR 19121
is a type 3 report that basically reviews the de-facto standards in the field of imagery
and gridded data.
IWA - International Workshop Agreement
An International Workshop Agreement (lWA) is normative. It is an ISO document that is prepared outside the formal structures of ISO such as the Technical
Committees (TCs). The market players, mostly industries, have instead agreed upon
the IW A in an open workshop environment in fields, where ISO has no experts or
structures available. The IWA is one ofISO's strategies to accelerate its response to
market requirements. The option exists to develop the IW A into a full International
Standard at a later stage.
1.3.1.5 Template of an ISO standard
All ISO-standards have the same appearance. They are based on the same document lay-out to simpli-ty their creation and usage. ISO provides a template for a standard document. This template is explained in brief in this section.
The ISO 19105 (Conformance and testing) was the first International Standard
published of the ISO 19100 family.
An ISO standard document consists of normative and informative pages. The
cover sheet, the table of contents, the foreword, and the introduction are called the
preliminary elements. The normative pages consist of the scope, the clauses and subclauses. The annexes may be defined as normative or informative.
Coversheet
The cover sheet contains the title of the document. All ISO 19100 standards have
the introductory element "Geographie information" and a main element like "Conformance and Testing".
As French is the second language of ISO, all titles are also given in French, such
as "Information geographique - Conformite et essays"
Table of contents
Though the table of contents is an optional preliminary element, it is necessary if
it makes the document easier to consult.
Foreword
The foreword makes reference to the ISO directives relevant for this standard and
to the Technical Committee responsible for the maintenance.
