Abstract
The resolution 532 of the 31st ISO/TC 211 plenary in Canberra mandated the creation of an ad-hoc group of experts to investigate whether to address the Web of Data and related issues, in particular Linked Data, in the geographic information standardization, and, if that is the case, to make recommendations for action. The group included experts from Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Finland, France, Korea, Spain, United Kingdom and USA. The first report of this group was presented to the 32nd ISO/TC 211 plenary held in Delft, Netherlands, on May 2011, hereafter the Delft Report [1]. The most significant recommendation of that report is to proceed with the use of Linked Data in geographic information standardization. The addition of Linked Data to the geographic standards may produce effective cost savings in spatial data production and use by improving some issues relevant to Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI), such as cross domain data sharing or spatial data discovery. The Delft Report's recommendations are the first step in that direction. This paper presents those recommendations in context, and evaluates their potential impact in SDIs.
