The construction of platform for geoinformation common services was completed or on going in in most provinces and cities in these years in China,and the platforms plays an important role in the economic and social activities.Geoinfromation and geoinfromation based services are the key issues in the platform.The standards on geoinormation common services play as bridges among the users,systems and designers of the platform.The standard architecture for geoinformation common services is the guideline for designing and using the standard system in which the standards integrated to each other to promote the development,sharing and services of geoinformation resources.To establish the standard architecture for geoinformation common services is one of the tasks of ‘Study on important standards for geonformation common services and management of public facilities in city.The scope of the standard architecture is defined,such as data or information model,interoperability interface or service,information management.Some Research work on the status of international standards of geoinormation common services in organization and countries,like ISO/TC 211,OGC and other countries or unions like USA、EU、Japan have done.Some principles are set up to evaluate the standard,such as availability,suitability and extensible ability.Then the development requirement and practical situation are analyzed,and a framework of the standard architecture for geoinformation common services are proposed.Finally,a summary and prospects of the geoinformation standards are made.
