Support for Geospatial Semantic Investigations
Resources for geospatial semantic research and applications are listed by topic.
Standards Groups
Ontologies derived from Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards can be found at https://committee.iso.org/sites/tc211/home/re.html
Ontology representations of the ISO/TC211 Standards are maintained in the GitHub repository for the ISO/TC211 Group on Ontology Management (GOM). Official ontologies are located at https://def.isotc211.org
