TBG3 – Transport - Resolutions
Resolution 1 – UNeDocs Project
TBG3, recognising the need to take into account the Transport inputs in the
UNeDocs deliverables, resolves to seek coordination with the UNeDocs
project team at UN level and hence request to review their data model, semantic
content and messages related to Transport. Any resultant changes will be
submitted to ensure consistency with the TBG3 ebXML work
Resolution 2 – Geolocation ISO / TC211 and TC204
TBG3 resolves to endorse the proposal from ISO/TC211 for expressing
geographical coordinates (longitude, latitude, altitude…) in relation to the
ISO 6709 standard update, and to consider this input in its modelling and
ITIGG implementation guidelines.
TBG3 will also continue to work jointly with ISO / TC204 / WG7.2 to consider
this approach in the standard development work on “ Data dictionary and
messages set for Intermodal Transport ”.
