ISO TC204 WG3 has been responsible for the standardization of ITS database technology since 1993. Additionally, the DRM Associaton has been technically and financially supporting WG3 as its convener.
In rapidly growing car navigation systems and cooperative systems, geographic information plays an important role. Activities led by the WG3 include the standardization of exchanging format between geographic information providers, compact stored format allowing high-speed search, and specifications for functional requirements/data models/data elements for geographic information.
