27、 metadata record .206 vForeword (This foreword is not part of American National Standard INCITS 453-2009.)This American National Standard - North American Profile of ISO 19115:2003 - Geo-graphic Information - Metadata and its sister profile the National Standard of Canada- North American Profile of
28、ISO 19115:2003 - Geographic Information - Metadata isthe first publication of this content-identical document. This Profile is a subset of theISO 19115 - Geographic Information - Metadata, Edition 1 complying with ISO 19106- Geographic Information - Profiles. The goal of this Profile is to provide a
29、 mecha-nism for organizations producing geographic information to describe datasets in de-tail. The Profile helps users to better understand geographic metadata, theassumptions and limitations of geographic information, and facilitates the search forproper information to fit users needs. The North A
30、merican Profile of ISO 19115:2003- Geographic Information - Metadata was prepared to meet the specific geographicneeds of data producers and users in the U.S. and Canada. This standard was developed by Technical Committee INCITS L1 of AccreditedStandards Committee INCITS and the Committee of Geomati
31、cs of the CanadianGeneral Standards Board under agreement between both technical committees be-ginning in September 2005 and continuing to adoption 2009. The Profile has eight clauses and six annexes. It also includes a Bibliography, whichcontains a list of informative references. Clause 1 sets the
32、scope of the Profile.Clause 2 identifies the normative references. Clause 3 provides terms and defini-tions. Clause 4 provides information to use the Profile. Clause 5 describes the meta-data content and its structure. Clause 6 give the details on the handling cultural andlinguistic adaptability. Cl
33、ause 7 gives details on code lists. Clause 8 provides the de-tails on extending the profile. Annex A, Metadata Schemas, provides normative dia-grams describing metadata element of this profile in the Unified Modeling Language(UML). These diagrams are based on those of ISO 19115:2003 - Geographic inf
34、or-mation - Metadata. They provide “views,“ which are portions of the complete model,that defines a metadata section (UML package) of related entities, elements, datatypes, and code lists. Annex B, Data Types, a normative annex, provides definitionsfor the 26 data types used in the Profile. Annex C,
35、 Conformance Causes, a norma-tive annex, provides the tests, for metadata instance documents, for consideration ofconformance with the Profile. Annex D, List of NAP-Metadata Code Lists, an infor-mative annex, lists the code lists and enumerations that are referred by metadata el-ements. Annex E Meta
36、data Implementation, an informative annex, provides anoverview and some examples of how to encode the metadata elements listed in thisProfile. Annex F, Tranformation from/to NAP-Metada, an informative annex, pro-vides information on the three major metadata standards that were the foundationsfor the
37、 U.S. and Canada implementations prior to the North American Profile. Users of this standard are encouraged to determine if there are standards in develop-ment or new versions of this Profile that may extend or clarify technical informationcontained in this Profile.Requests for interpretation, sugge
38、stions for improvement or addenda, or defect re-ports are welcome. They should be sent to the National Committee for InformationTechnology Standards (INCITS), ITI, 1101 K Street, NW, Suite 610, Washington, DC20005.This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by INCITS.

48、pe The North American Profile of ISO 19115:2003, Geographic information Metadata, is intended to identify geospatial metadata that are needed for North American organizations to describe their geospatial data, including dataset and dataset series, and related Web services. It is based on ISO 19115:2
49、003, Geographic information Metadata, and ISO 19106:2004, Geographic information Profiles. It also includes service metadata from ISO 19119:2005, Geographic information Services, and implementation perspectives from ISO/TS 19139:200,7 Geographic information Metadata XML schema implementation. As outlined in ISO 19106:2004, Geographic Information Profiles, it satisfies conformance Class 1 since it defines a pure subset of ISO 19115:2003, Geographic information Metadata, and ISO 19119:2005, Geographic information Services.
