     * 

ISO abstract:

*
*

Provides rules and guidelines for the use of a conceptual schema language * within the ISO geographic information standards. The chosen conceptual schema language is the * Unified Modeling Language (UML).

* *

ISO TS 19103:2005 provides a profile of UML for use with geographic * information. In addition, it provides guidelines on how UML should be used to create * standardized geographic information and service models.

*
* * @see Buy from ISO */ ISO_19103, /** * ISO 19107:2003, Feature Geometry * (OGC Topic 1). * This is the specification for package {@link org.opengis.geometry} and sub-packages. * *

ISO abstract:

*
*

Specifies conceptual schemas for describing the spatial characteristics of * geographic features, and a set of spatial operations consistent with these schemas. It treats * vector geometry and topology up to three dimensions. It defines standard spatial operations * for use in access, query, management, processing, and data exchange of geographic information * for spatial (geometric and topological) objects of up to three topological dimensions embedded * in coordinate spaces of up to three axes.

*
* * @see Buy from ISO */ ISO_19107, /** * ISO 19108:2002, Temporal Schema. * This is the specification for package {@link org.opengis.temporal} and sub-packages. * *

ISO abstract:

*
*

Defines concepts for describing temporal characteristics of geographic * information. It depends upon existing information technology standards for the interchange * of temporal information. It provides a basis for defining temporal feature attributes, * feature operations, and feature associations, and for defining the temporal aspects of * metadata about geographic information. Since this International Standard is concerned with * the temporal characteristics of geographic information as they are abstracted from the real * world, it emphasizes valid time rather than transaction time.

*
* * @see Buy from ISO * @see Corrigendum */ ISO_19108, /** * ISO 19111:2007, Spatial Referencing by Coordinates * (OGC Topic 2). * This is the specification for package {@link org.opengis.referencing} and sub-packages. * *

ISO abstract:

*
*

Defines the conceptual schema for the description of spatial referencing by * coordinates, optionally extended to spatio-temporal referencing. It describes the minimum * data required to define one-, two- and three-dimensional spatial coordinate reference systems * with an extension to merged spatial-temporal reference systems. It allows additional descriptive * information to be provided. It also describes the information required to change coordinates * from one coordinate reference system to another.

* *

In ISO 19111:2007, a coordinate reference system does not change with time. * For coordinate reference systems defined on moving platforms such as cars, ships, aircraft and * spacecraft, the transformation to an Earth-fixed coordinate reference system can include a time * element.

* *

ISO 19111:2007 is applicable to producers and users of geographic information. * Although it is applicable to digital geographic data, its principles can be extended to many * other forms of geographic data such as maps, charts and text documents.

* *

The schema described can be applied to the combination of horizontal * position with a third non-spatial parameter which varies monotonically with height or depth. * This extension to non-spatial data is beyond the scope of ISO 19111:2007 but can be implemented * through profiles.

*
* * @see #OGC_01009 * @see Download from OGC * @see Buy from ISO */ ISO_19111, /** * ISO 19115:2003, Metadata * (OGC Topic 11). * This is the specification for package {@link org.opengis.metadata} and sub-packages. * *

ISO abstract:

*
*

Defines the schema required for describing geographic information and services. * It provides information about the identification, the extent, the quality, the spatial and * temporal schema, spatial reference, and distribution of digital geographic data.

* *

ISO 19115:2003 is applicable to:

*
    *
  • the cataloguing of datasets, clearinghouse activities, and the full description of datasets;
  • *
  • geographic datasets, dataset series, and individual geographic features and feature properties.
  • *
* *

ISO 19115:2003 defines:

*
    *
  • mandatory and conditional metadata sections, metadata entities, and metadata elements;
  • *
  • the minimum set of metadata required to serve the full range of metadata applications * (data discovery, determining data fitness for use, data access, data transfer, and use * of digital data);
  • *
  • optional metadata elements - to allow for a more extensive standard description of * geographic data, if required;
  • *
  • a method for extending metadata to fit specialized needs.
  • *
* *

Though ISO 19115:2003 is applicable to digital data, its principles * can be extended to many other forms of geographic data such as maps, charts, and textual * documents as well as non-geographic data.

* *

NOTE: Certain mandatory metadata elements may not apply to these * other forms of data.

*
* * @see Buy from ISO * @see Corrigendum */ ISO_19115, /** * ISO 19115-2:2009, Metadata part 2: extensions for imagery and gridded data. * This is the specification for package {@link org.opengis.metadata} and sub-packages. * *

ISO abstract:

*
*

Extends the existing geographic metadata standard by defining the schema * required for describing imagery and gridded data. It provides information about the properties * of the measuring equipment used to acquire the data, the geometry of the measuring process * employed by the equipment, and the production process used to digitize the raw data. This * extension deals with metadata needed to describe the derivation of geographic information * from raw data, including the properties of the measuring system, and the numerical methods * and computational procedures used in the derivation. The metadata required to address coverage * data in general is addressed sufficiently in the general part of ISO 19115.

*
* * @see Buy from ISO * * @since 2.3 */ ISO_19115_2, /** * ISO 19117:2005, Portrayal. * This is an abstract specification for portraying features. * *

ISO abstract:

*
*

Defines a schema describing the portrayal of geographic information in a * form understandable by humans. It includes the methodology for describing symbols and mapping * of the schema to an application schema. It does not include standardization of cartographic * symbols, and their geometric and functional description.

*
* * @see Buy from ISO */ ISO_19117, /** * ISO 19123:2005, Schema for coverage geometry and functions * (OGC Topic 6). * This is the specification for package {@link org.opengis.coverage} and sub-packages. * *

ISO abstract:

*
*

Defines a conceptual schema for the spatial characteristics of coverages. * Coverages support mapping from a spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal domain to feature attribute * values where feature attribute types are common to all geographic positions within the domain. * A coverage domain consists of a collection of direct positions in a coordinate space that may * be defined in terms of up to three spatial dimensions as well as a temporal dimension. * Examples of coverages include rasters, triangulated irregular networks, point coverages and * polygon coverages. Coverages are the prevailing data structures in a number of application * areas, such as remote sensing, meteorology and mapping of bathymetry, elevation, soil and * vegetation.

* *

ISO 19123:2005 defines the relationship between the domain of a coverage * and an associated attribute range. The characteristics of the spatial domain are defined * whereas the characteristics of the attribute range are not part of ISO 19123:2005.

*
* * @see #OGC_01004 * @see Download from OGC * @see Buy from ISO */ ISO_19123, /** * ISO 19128:2005, Web map server interface. * This is the specification for package {@link org.opengis.layer} and sub-packages. * *

ISO abstract:

*
*

Specifies the behaviour of a service that produces spatially referenced * maps dynamically from geographic information. It specifies operations to retrieve a description * of the maps offered by a server, to retrieve a map, and to query a server about features * displayed on a map. ISO 19128:2005 is applicable to pictorial renderings of maps in a * graphical format; it is not applicable to retrieval of actual feature data or coverage data * values.
