                      ISO/TC 211 WG 5
              Profiles and Functional Standards

           purpose of WG 5:
              – to provide the bridge between the base
                standards under development, and existing
                standards and products
              – to provide a mechanism to put the base
                standards to use

           two projects:
              – 15046-6 Profiles
              – 15854 Functional Standards

              Profiles and Functional Standards

           international GI standards already exist
           on the ISO/TC 211 agenda is the
            harmonisation of existing standards into
            profiles of more general standards
           main goal of TC 211 is interoperability, for
              – flow and re-use of information
              – competition on an equal basis
              – reduction of costs

                      ISO/TC 211 WG 5
              Profiles and Functional Standards

           four steps in achieving these goals:
              – identifying information components from
                recognised functional standards as input to
                TC 211
              – development of base standards in WGs 1-4
              – development of profiles using TC 211 base
                standards
              – development of product specifications using
                TC 211 profiles and base standards

              – taxonomy of recognized functional standards
              – identification of components of these FSs that
                can be harmonised between themselves and
                with TC 211 base standards
              – assistance with development of profiles
                corresponding to these functional standards

         WIs, and modularity concept
        2 recent DGIWG proposals for the creation
         of ISPs were discussed:
              – purpose: to create awareness for profiles/ISPs
              – comprise a simple and a complicated ISP

           due to the fact that FSs are continuously
            evolving, a continuation of the current WI
            to develop a technical amendment, at
            stage 0, is proposed
