The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out throug

11、h ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborat

12、es closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standard

13、s. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of thi

14、s document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 19117 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics. ISO 19117:2005(E) ISO 2005 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International

15、 Standard is an abstract document and is not intended for direct implementation. It gives general guidelines to the application developers about the mechanism to be used to portray the feature instances of a dataset. The portrayal mechanism described makes it possible to have general rules valid for

16、 the whole dataset, and at the same time rules valid for a specific value of a feature attribute only. Different computer graphics standards use different attributes to visualize geometric primitives. For example, a line can be distinguished by thickness, width, colour, stippling, anti-aliasing, etc

17、. This International Standard therefore includes a mechanism for declaring portrayal attributes as part of the portrayal specification. In some cases whole feature classes have to be referenced and portrayed in a specific way, e.g. as symbols on nautical charts. Several symbol standards exist, and w

18、ithout a portrayal standard the application would have to set up a separate interface to each of these standards. With this International Standard all the supported symbol standards can be handled in a uniform way. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INCITS/ISO 19117-2005 ISO 2005 All rights reserved 1Geogra

NOTE 1 A feature attribute has a name, a data type, and a value domain associated with it. A feature attribute for a feature instance also has an attribute value

30、 taken from the value domain. NOTE 2 In a feature catalogue, a feature attribute may include a value domain but does not specify attribute values for feature instances.

Figure 1 UML notations used in this International Standard ISO 19117:2005(E) ISO 2005 All rights reserved 56.2 UML model stereotypes A UML stereotype is an extension mechanism for existing UM

37、L concepts. It is a model element that is used to classify (or mark) other UML elements so that they in some respect behave as if they were instances of new virtual or pseudo metamodel classes whose form is based on existing base metamodel classes. Stereotypes augment the classification mechanisms o

38、n the basis of the built-in UML metamodel class hierarchy. Below are brief descriptions of the stereotypes used in this International Standard; for more detailed descriptions consult ISO/TS 19103. In this International Standard the following stereotypes are used. Interface definition of a set of ope

39、rations that is supported by objects having this interface. Type stereotyped class used for specification of a domain of instances (objects), together with the operations applicable to the objects. A type may have attributes and associations. MetaClass class whose instances are classes. Metaclasses

40、are typically used in the construction of metamodels. Leaf package that contains definitions, without any sub-packages. 7 Portrayal mechanism 7.1 Introduction This International Standard defines a feature-centred rule-based portrayal mechanism. Instances of features are portrayed based on rules, whi

41、ch make use of geometry and attribute information. The relationship between the feature instances, attributes and the underlying spatial geometry is specified in an application schema according to ISO 19109. Spatial geometry and associated topological relationships are defined in ISO 19107. Portraya

42、l information is needed to portray a dataset containing geographic data. The portrayal information is handled as portrayal specifications applied according to specific portrayal rules (see Clause 8). The portrayal mechanism makes it possible to portray the same dataset in different ways without alte

43、ring the dataset itself. The portrayal mechanism is illustrated by Figure 2. Figure 2 Portrayal mechanism without priority attributes ISO 19117:2005(E) 6 ISO 2005 All rights reservedThe portrayal specifications and portrayal rules shall not be part of the dataset. The portrayal rules shall be stored

44、 in a portrayal catalogue. The portrayal specifications shall be stored separately from the dataset and referenced from the portrayal rules. The portrayal rules shall be specified for the feature class or feature instances they will be applied on. The portrayal specifications may be stored externall

45、y and referenced using a universal reference standard such as a network based URL. Portrayal information may be specified either by sending a portrayal catalogue and portrayal specifications with the dataset, or by referencing an existing portrayal catalogue and portrayal specifications from Metadat

46、a. In addition, the user may want to apply a user defined portrayal catalogue and portrayal specification. The model in Figure 3 shows how the portrayal catalogue is referenced by the dataset metadata. Only the metadata reference is shown and not the contents of the portrayal catalogue (see ISO 1911

47、5). Figure 3 UML model of the portrayal part of ISO 19115 The portrayal rules shall be expressed using UML, as defined in ISO/IEC 19501. The portrayal rule mechanism may be used to handle portrayal issues that have to be solved as they happen, such as how to automatically place text on maps, and spe

48、cial representations of the feature instances according to, for example, time of day or scale. The value of external functions (see 8.3.5), such as time of day or scale, may be included in the portrayal rules. The portrayal rules in the portrayal catalogue shall be tested on the attributes of the fe

49、ature instances in the dataset. The portrayal rule shall be applied as a query statement that returns TRUE or FALSE. The portrayal specification associated with that particular portrayal rule shall then be applied. If no portrayal rule returns TRUE then the default portrayal specification shall be used. A portrayal service is used to portray a feature instance or instances. The portrayal service applies operations using the parameters defined in a p
