Working Groups
The work within ISO/TC211 is done in working groups, each with a specific focus. The currently active working groups are:
- Working Group 4 - Geospatial services
- Working Group 6 - Imagery
- Working Group 7 - Information communities
- Working Group 9 - Information management
- Working Group10 - Ubiquitous public access
There are also a number of disbanded Working Groups:
- Working Group 1 - Framework and reference model
- Working Group 2 - Geospatial data models and operators
- Working Group 3 - Geospatial data administration
- Working Group 5 - Profiles and functional standards
- Working Group 8 - Location based services
Revision of standards that were previously part of these working groups are now done directly under the TC since the disbandment of the groups.

Famous quotes containing the words working and/or groups:
“A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
