Project 1293 - ISO 19110:2005, Geographic information - Methodology for
feature cataloguing
This International Standard defines the methodology for cataloguing
feature types. This International Standard
specifies how the classification of feature types is organized into a
feature catalogue and presented to the
users of a set of geographic data. This International Standard is
applicable to creating catalogues of feature
types in previously uncatalogued domains and to revising existing
feature catalogues to comply with standard
practice. This International Standard applies to the cataloguing of
feature types that are represented in digital
form. Its principles can be extended to the cataloguing of other forms
of geographic data.
This International Standard is applicable to the definition of
geographic features at the type level. This
International Standard is not applicable to the representation of
individual instances of each type. This
International Standard excludes spatial, temporal, and portrayal
schemas as specified in ISO 19107,
ISO 19108, and ISO 19117, respectively. It also excludes collection
criteria for feature instances.
This International Standard may be used as a basis for defining the
universe of discourse being modelled in a
particular application, or to standardize general aspects of real world
features being modelled in more than
one application.
