In order to meet the increasing need for the information of land and resources, we have developed and brought forward a technical framework for standardization of information of land and resources - the reference model for information standards of land and resources to ensure an integrated and consistent approach and under unified framework . The main goal is to make the standards get the best optimum as a whole, and to integrate and share the information widely. The reference model describes the objects, overall requirements, related concepts for the standardization, and structure and relationship of the standards as well as the fundamental principles that apply in developing and using the standards. The focus of the paper is background, content and key points of the reference model.
