Amendments for consideration:

The continuation and communication of the liaisons with existing groups and their exploration of further effective ways of cooperation need a separate discussion.

The main objective is: analyse how UNGEGN can benefit and what is expected/required by the liaised organisations.

A liaison list can be obtained through the Secretariat.

A separate discussion on sub-task 2-ii-6 on 'Liaisons with Organisations' inviting key players was conducted on 09-12-2021.


Results of the Meeting of the Task Team on 09-12-2021:

  • General issues/tasks
    • Focus of this Task Team is on Standardization Organisations with links to the technical issues addressed by the WG GNDM
    • Secretariat is asked to cross-check the list of Liaisons and its assigned officers! Some might not be active anymore. See proposals on specific organisations below
    • ISO (and Open Geospatial Consortium - OGC) seems to be the most relevant Standardization Organisations to be approached concerning the discussion on the Technical Reference Manual (data model, data services, data dissemination) 
  • UNICODE Consortium (Catherine)
    • current situation seems to be o.k.:  UNICODE is contacted and outcome and findings are evaluated and assessed shortly before UNGEGN Session and reported to UNGEGN as part of the WG GNDM report
    • UNICODE could be asked to present at the next UNGEGN Session in 2023
  • IHO (Trent)
    • Liaison is working well.
    • Trent will check the UN-GGIM reports jointly prepared by IHO, ISO and OGC and get back if there is anything to consider. Unbekannter Benutzer (2c9381f861882d4e01618b425a350004) (Secretariat) is kindly requested to provide contacts for the UN-GGIM activity
  • PAIGH (Trent)
    • current situation seems to be o.k.
    • Liaison officer: Roger Payne is still active!
    • Re Training Courses there is an agreement that PAIGH deals with training in the Americas and that the UNGEGN WG on Training Courses deals with courses elsewhere
  • SCAR (Trent)
    • some UNGEGN experts are directly involved through their activities on domestic names (US, UK, FR, BE,...)
    • Liaison officer:  Jean-Yves Pirlot has retired. Unbekannter Benutzer (2c9381f861882d4e01618b425a350004) Secretariat is kindly requested to cross-check with him or to appoint another UNGEGN expert.
  • IGU (Peter)
  • ICA (Peter)
    • This is the most active liaison!
      • Joint IGU/ICA Commission organizes Symposia on Toponymic Issues
      • ICA builds the bridge to IGU and ICOS (see below)
    • Liaison officer: Peter Jordan
    • Cooperation with ISO (see below) and ICOS (see below) can be intensified on the topic "Terminology" 
    • Inventory of (international) digital geographical names data bases/services has been expressed as request from the ICA community 
  • ICOS (Peter)
    • Liaison officer: Staffan Nyström has retired
      • Peter will ask Staffan if he would like to keep the function as Liaison officer. Otherwise Peter will approach Laila Mattfolk (SE) to take over.
    • Cooperation was good, due to the fact that liaison officer (Staffan Nyström) was an active UNGEGN member too.
    • Peter will approach Austrian colleague, Christian Galinski from the "ISO Terminology Group" to discuss about strengthening the cooperation with ICOS
    • Within the ICOS "Toponomastic Bibliography" UNGEGN experts can contribute to
  • ISO (and OGC) (Pier-Giorgio)
    • Liaison for ISO TC 211 (Geospatial standards - 19000 family) the information exchange is sufficient, but very broad. There is currently no direct link to geographical names issues since the ISO 19112 standard on "direct and indirect georeferencing" has been updated in 2017
    • ISO/OGC national contacts will be approached by Trent, Catherine and Pier-Giorgio concerning the discussion on the Technical Reference Manual (data model, data services, data dissemination) → task see above
    • Connections with ISO TC 46 (language codes, transliteration) are strong and UNGEGN experts have had valuable influences on these ISO standards
    • The OGC Best Practices Document: 'Gazetteer Service -Application Profile of the Web Feature Service', Candidate Implementation Standard (OGC 11 122r1) has not be updated / finalised since 2012. The OGC Gazetteer Best Practice activity is closed! Information is available at: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/83
  • ICANN (Catherine)
    • Liaison officer: Peeter Päll
    • Pier-Giorgio will involve Peeter for the next follow-up discussion regarding this subtask
