17、1 BS EN ISO 19146:2010ISO 19146:2010(E) iv ISO 2010 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO techn

18、ical 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 collaborates closely

19、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 Standards. Draft In

20、ternational 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 this document

21、may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 19146 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics. BS EN ISO 19146:2010ISO 19146:2010(E) ISO 2010 All rights reserved vIntroduction A common

22、language is an essential prerequisite to effective communication. However, a simple knowledge of a languages vocabulary is insufficient to ensure communication integrity. A word can have several meanings depending on the context in which it is used. Similarly, a concept can be referenced by several

23、words, each communicating a different connotation or level of emphasis. The issues associated with the correct use of language extend far beyond day-to-day communication. Every field of endeavour, from engineering to cookery, has its own technical language and vocabulary. In order to participate in

24、discussions on a subject, it is necessary to understand both the subjects terminology and the context in which it is to be used. The imprecise use of technical or professional language (for example, by using two terms interchangeably when, in fact, they have distinctly different connotations) gives

25、rise to the same traps and dangers associated with the inappropriate use of a spoken language. This International Standard establishes a methodology for cross-mapping technical vocabularies that have been adopted by industry-focussed geospatial communities (for example, geospatial communities suppor

26、ting the transport or utilities industries). The processes relate to the unique identification of concepts and ensuring the existence of monosemic relations between concepts and designations. The methodology aims to ensure the consistent use of cross-mapping processes when associating disparate geos

27、patial vocabularies and identifying synonyms. It is not the objective of this International Standard to define an ontology or taxonomy for geographic information and geomatics. Its purpose is to provide rules for ensuring consistency when implementing cross-mapping processes. The rules, however, hav

28、e been developed with regard to taxonomic and ontological concepts and with a view to enabling semantic interoperability. Their application to vocabulary cross-mapping, therefore, can be expected to provide input to any future ontology/taxonomy initiatives. This International Standard applies the pr

29、ovisions of ISO 19135 to the registration of geospatial concepts. An online register of cross-mapped terminology entries, conforming to the requirements of ISO 19135, is associated with this International Standard. Administrative arrangements for the population and maintenance of the online register

30、 are beyond the scope of this International Standard. However, the provisions of ISO 19135 relating to the maintenance of registers apply. This International Standard adopts terms and concepts that are taken from UML and terminology theory and practice. A cross-mapping between the two terminologies

31、can be found in ISO/TR 24156:2008.

32、ave been adopted by industry-specific geospatial communities. It also specifies an implementation of ISO 19135 for the registration of geographic information concepts for the purpose of integrating multiple domain-based vocabularies. Methodologies for the development of ontologies and taxonomies tha

33、t relate to geographic information and geomatics are not within the scope of this International Standard. 2 Conformance Any vocabulary cross-mapping that claims conformance to this International Standard shall satisfy all of the conditions specified in the following abstract test suites: a) Annex A

34、of this International Standard, and b) ISO 19135:2005, A.1 and A.2 for conformance to ISO 19135. A vocabulary cross-mapping register established by ISO/TC 211 shall, in addition, satisfy all of the conditions specified in the ISO 19135 abstract test suite for registers established by ISO/TC 211 as s
