Standard Development

The definition of Standard in terms of language is something to be referred or standardised. The purpose of using the Standard in geospatial information preparation is to facilitate the efficient sharing of geospatial information. The use of the same standard will be able to integrate geospatial information from multiple sources and produce more comprehensive information for national planning and development use, disaster analysis, national security and decision making can be done quickly and accurately. In carrying out the Standard activities, PGN constantly cooperates with recognised standards committees in Malaysia. PGN adopts the documentation published by ISO / TC211 which is an international technical committee for reference in establishing standard geospatial information documents in the country.
