摘要
Most of the paper maps produced a century ago are still very accessible in cartographic libraries preserved by the producer. It is our present obligation to guarantee the preservation of digital geospatial data today and allow for digital cartographic accessibility one century into the future. In addition, there is an increasing demand for older maps that goes beyond pure historical interest motivated by the study of dynamic problems such as impacts of the climate change, human activities and sustainability. The long-term preservation of large volumes of geospatial data in a uniform way still remains an unsolved question. A systematic solution has been demanded by National Mapping and Archival Agencies in Europe and North America. One year ago the ISO/TC 211 "Geographic information / Geomatics" published a New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) named ISO 19165 "Preservation of digital data and metadata" accompanied by a Working Draft The proposed standard is built upon the principles laid down in the ISO 14721 "Open Archival Information Systems" and upon the data model of the ISO 19115-1 "Metadata - Part 1: Fundamentals". This article reports on the specialization of both standards for the purpose of archiving of geospatial data and asks for contributions to the ISO 19165 under development.
