International Standards such as ISO TC211's 19100 series and various technical specifications from OpenGIS Consortium are some of the examples of efforts to maintain the interoperability among GIS applications. This paper aims to provide the effective policy directions that can increase the use of GIS standards by providing the comprehensive list of priorities in developing GIS standards. This paper reviews the current status of the use of GIS standards in the field and analyses the use pattern. Also this paper examines the need for revision of the existing standards and new standardization efforts based on the current status of International Standards. Based on the analysis of the use pattern of the current GIS standard, this paper suggests a policy directions which emphasizes the need for more efforts in standardization of geographic information services standards and more coordination among all standard-related stakeholders in government and industry.
