0 Introduction
0.1 General
The term “smart city” denotes the effective integration of physical, digital and human
systems in the built environment to deliver a sustainable, prosperous and inclusive
future for its citizens. A basic assumption in the design of a smart city is the ability of
the physical and digital systems to be interoperable. This standard gives governance
guidance for decision-makers on establishing a decision-making framework for sharing
city data and creating interoperable information services.
Data has the ability to transform the city and its services, providing visibility on the
services available, and supporting citizen interactions with those services. Improving
the design and integration of city services can serve the public better and drive
innovation and efficiencies.
This standard aims to support data sharing in cities and between cities, and the
establishment of data sharing agreements, particularly where data is being shared by
multiple organizations to transform the delivery of city services.
Missing data or misinterpretation of data can lead to the wrong actions being taken by
city decision-makers. A decision-making framework for sharing data can help ensure
that they have the best overall data ecosystem on which to base decisions.
Sharing data across a city requires more than the interoperability covered by the smart
city concept model (SCCM) defined in ISO/IEC 30182, which focuses by necessity on the
semantics of data in a city. Full data interoperability requires a
data framework to be created across the entire spectrum of data for a city: open,
closed and shared data.
This standard builds on the integrated operating model defined in ISO/IEC 37106:2021
and assumes that the governance of a smart city programme and the overall
management of the city’s data assets has been understood and agreed upon by city
leaders and decision-makers from the organizations delivering city services.
The value of data sharing has yet to be explored by cities, as data is predominantly
currently used for a specific purpose related to the public task, additionally data
is not viewed as an essential city asset which can be used to transform a city. Data can
also provide the basis for new commercial models in smart cities.
This standard defines the data framework for sharing city data to enable discussions
between the specialists who build and design the physical and digital services and the
decision-makers using data to transform their city.
This standard is for use by decision-makers in smart cities from the public, private and
third sectors. It is also of interest to any city organization wishing to share data.
It is expected that each city will create a decision-making framework based on this
standard to address its own challenges and opportunities, taking into account the
priorities and needs of their city. The creation of a data ecosystem based on the
interoperability and data sharing principles in this standard could create data assets
that are used to improve the quality of life for citizens and create sustainable
commercial models to fund innovation.

0.2 Relationship to other smart city standardization documents
0.2.1 ISO 37106
This standard has been built on the guidance in ISO 37106, Sustainable cities and
communities – Guidance on establishing smart city operating models for sustainable
communities . The particular components of a smart city framework which apply are:
a) [B2] Transforming the city’s operating model with particular reference to the
governance model developed and any vulnerabilities of both data and city services;
b) [B6] Establishing a common terminology and reference model; and
c) [B10] Identity and privacy management.
This standard is guidance to help with the implementation of these components of the
smart city framework.
0.2.2 ISO/IEC 30182
The smart city concept model (SCCM) described in ISO/IEC 30182, Smart city concept
model – Guide to establishing a model for data interoperability addresses the data
interoperability issues that arise as a result of each sector and/or service in a city
having its own model and terminology that it uses for data. This standard defines the
data framework that addresses the other areas that affect interoperability, such as
access rights, privacy, availability and formats. These other areas are also barriers to
interoperability and portability which impact the design of the physical and digital
services.
This standard addresses the barriers other than the semantics addressed in ISO/IEC
30182 , to enable data interoperability and portability, and the sharing of data and
information services in a smart city.
The data framework identifies all elements which will be needed to deliver the four
key types of insight when data and services are appropriately shared:
operational, critical, analytical and strategic insight. (See ISO/IEC 30182:2017, Clause
0).
0.3 Relationship to building information modelling (BIM) standards
The following documents are considered to be the foundational standardization
documents to be used as part of a whole lifecycle approach to the built environment for
BIM Level 2 in smart cities.
This standard assumes that the ISO 19650 series is used for all BIM Level 2 building and
infrastructure assets in a smart city and that asset procuring organizations use them as
part of their overall digital and smart strategies.

1 Scope
This standard gives guidance on establishing a decision-making framework for sharing
data and information services in smart cities.
It covers:
a) types of data in smart cities;
b) establishing a data sharing culture;
c) data value chain – roles and responsibilities;
d) purposes for data use;
e) assessing data states;
f) defining access rights for data; and
g) data formats/format of transportation.
This standard aims to support the sharing of data and information services within cities.
For some cities there will also be a need to establish specific data sharing agreements,
particularly where data is being shared by multiple organizations at once.
This standard supports a transparent approach to making decisions and creating specific
data sharing agreements in order to fully realise the benefits and value of data and
information services in a city.
Missing data or misinterpretation of data can lead to the wrong actions being taken by
