Geographic information — Registration and register governance

This document defines a framework for the extensible registration of information — an approach used to manage an information register.

This framework specifies the following requirements of an information register:

• capability requirements that an information register uses to manage register content;
• governance requirements that define a set of processes and rules used in the establishment, management, operation, content publication and use of an information register.

The following considerations are out of scope of this document:

• implementation details for the realization of an information register;
• content and related definitions that are managed within an information register.
