This International Standard specifies the data structure and content of an interface that permits
communication between position-providing device(s) and position-using device(s) so that the position-using
device(s) can obtain and unambiguously interpret position information and determine whether the results meet
the requirements of the use. A standardized interface of geographic information with position allows the
integration of positional information from a variety of positioning technologies into a variety of geographic
information applications, such as surveying, navigation and intelligent transportation systems. This
International Standard will benefit a wide range of applications for which positional information is important.
