NBN ISO 19165-1:2021

This document defines a preservation metadata extension of ISO 19115-1.
It defines the requirements for the long-term preservation of digital geospatial data. These data also
include metadata, representation information, provenance, context and any other content items that
capture the knowledge that are necessary to fully understand and reuse the archived data. This
document also refers to characteristics of data formats that are useful for the purpose of archiving.
Geospatial data are preserved as a geospatial information package (IP). This document defines
the requirements of the geospatial archival IP and details of the geospatial submission and the
dissemination IPs. A geospatial archival IP is fully self-describing and allows a future reconstruction
of the dataset without external documentation. The functional requirements for a preservation archive
are defined in Annex D.
This document complements standards developed by ISO/TC 211 as well as other ISO standards such as
ISO 14721.
