About This Item
TSE ISO/TS 19104 is a technical specification dealing with how terminology is organised in the field of geographic information. It supports international communication by promoting consistent use of geographic information terms and provides guidance for selecting concepts to be included in other ISO/TC 211 standards, structuring terminological records, and writing definitions.
Why terminology matters in geographic information
Geographic information covers a wide technical landscape, including maps, location data, coordinates, spatial relationships, data models, and how these concepts are represented in information systems. When the same concept is named differently across documents, implementation and interpretation can drift. A terminology-focused document helps anchor naming and definition practices to a shared conceptual basis, improving consistency across standards.
Concept records and definition practice
In general technical use, a terminological record is a structured entry that may contain a term, definition, source, and related notes. The value of a terminology standard is not just in listing words, but in clarifying how concepts relate to one another. This technical specification sets principles for record structure and definition writing, helping keep terminology management in geographic information more coherent and usable.
This TSE record is based on ISO/TS 19104:2008 and has since been withdrawn. As a result, it represents a historical reference for terminology management and concept selection rather than an active current edition, while still remaining useful for understanding the structure of geographic information terminology.
