ISO 19101-1:2014定义了地理信息领域标准化的参考模型。该参考模型描述了互操作性的概念，并阐述了进行标准化的基本原理。 虽然在信息技术和信息技术标准的背景下，ISO 19101-1:2014独立于任何应用开发方法或技术实施方法

ISO 19101-1:2014 defines the reference model for standardization in the field of geographic information. This reference model describes the notion of interoperability and sets forth the fundamentals by which this standardization takes place. Although structured in the context of information technology and information technology standards, ISO 19101-1:2014 is independent of any application development method or technology implementation approach.
