The work of preparing Internationa

25、l Standards is normally carried out through 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,

26、also take part in the work. ISO collaborates 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 commi

27、ttees is to prepare International Standards. 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 po

INCITS/ISO 19136-2010 ITIC 2010 All rights reserved viiIntroduction Geography Markup Language is an XML grammar written in XML Schema for the description of application s

30、chemas as well as the transport and storage of geographic information. The key concepts used by Geography Markup Language (GML) to model the world are drawn from the ISO 19100 series of International Standards and the OpenGIS Abstract Specification. A feature is an “abstraction of real world phenome

31、na” (ISO 19101); it is a geographic feature if it is associated with a location relative to the Earth. So a digital representation of the real world may be thought of as a set of features. The state of a feature is defined by a set of properties, where each property may be thought of as a name, type

32、, value triple. The number of properties a feature may have, together with their names and types, is determined by its type definition. Geographic features with geometry are those with properties that may be geometry-valued. A feature collection is a collection of features that may itself be regarde

33、d as a feature; as a consequence a feature collection has a feature type and thus may have distinct properties of its own, in addition to the features it contains. Following ISO 19109, the feature types of an application or application domain is usually captured in an application schema. A GML appli

34、cation schema is specified in XML Schema and can be constructed in two different and alternative ways: by adhering to the rules specified in ISO 19109 fo r application schemas in UML, and conforming to both the constraints on such schemas and the rules for mapping them to GML application schemas spe

35、cified in this International Standard; by adhering to the rules for GML application schemas sp ecified in this International Standard for creating a GML application schema directly in XML Schema. Both ways are supported by this International Standard. To ensure proper use of the conceptual modelling

36、 framework of the ISO 19100 series of International Standards, all application schemas are expected to be modelled in accordance with the General Feature Model as specified in ISO 19109. Within the ISO 19100 series, UML is the preferred language by which to model conceptual schemas. GML specifies XM

37、L encodings, conformant with ISO 19118, of several of the conceptual classes defined in the ISO 19100 series of International Standards and the OpenGIS Abstract Specification. These conceptual models include those defined in: ISO/TS 19103 Conceptual schema language (units of measure, basic types); I

38、SO 19107 Spatial schema (geometry and topology objects); ISO 19108 Temporal schema (temporal geometry and topology objects, temporal reference systems); ISO 19109 Rules for application schemas (features); ISO 19111 Spatial referencing by coordi nates (coordinate reference systems); ISO 19123 Schema

39、for coverage geometry and functions. The aim is to provide a standardized encoding (i.e. a standardized implementation in XML) of types specified in the conceptual models specified by the International Standards listed above. If every application schema were encoded independently and the encoding pr

40、ocess included the types from, for example, ISO 19108, then, INCITS/ISO 19136-2010 ITIC 2010 All rights reservedviii without unambiguous and completely fixed encoding rules, the XML encodings would be different. Also, since every implementation platform has specific strengths and weaknesses, it is h

41、elpful to standardize XML encodings for core geographic information concepts modelled in the ISO 19100 series of International Standards and commonly used in application schemas. In many cases, the mapping from the conceptual classes is straightforward, while in some cases the mapping is more comple

42、x (a detailed description of the mapping is part of this International Standard). In addition, GML provides XML encodings for additional concepts not yet modelled in the ISO 19100 series of International Standards or the OpenGIS Abstract Specification, for example, dynamic features, simple observati

43、ons or value objects. Predefined types of geographic feature in GML include coverages and simple observations. A coverage is a subtype of feature that has a coverage function with a spatiotemporal domain and a value set range of homogeneous 1- to n-dimensional tuples. A coverage may represent one fe

44、ature or a collection of features “to model and make visible spatial relationships between, and the spatial distribution of, Earth phenomena” (OGC Abstract Specification Topic 620) and a coverage “acts as a function to return values from its range for any direct position within its spatiotemporal do

45、main” (ISO 19123). An observation models the act of observing, often with a camera or some other procedure, a person or some form of instrument (Merriam-Webster Dictionary: “an act of recognizing and noting a fact or occurrence often involving measurement with instruments”). An observation is consid

46、ered to be a GML feature with a time at which the observation took place, and with a value for the observation. A reference system provides a scale of measurement for assigning values to a position, time or other descriptive quantity or quality. A coordinate reference system consists of a set of coo

47、rdinate system axes that is related to the Earth through a datum that defines the size and shape of the Earth. A temporal reference system provides standard units for measuring time and describing temporal length or duration. A reference system dictionary provides definitions of reference systems us

48、ed in spatial or temporal geometries. Spatial geometries are the values of spatial feature properties. They indicate the coordinate reference system in which their measurements have been made. The “parent” geometry element of a geometric complex or geometric aggregate makes this indication for its c

49、onstituent geometries. Temporal geometries are the values of temporal feature properties. Like their spatial counterparts, temporal geometries indicate the temporal reference system in which their measurements have been made. Spatial or temporal topologies are used to express the different topological relationships between features. A units of measure dictionary provides definitions of numerical measur
