22、ittee ISO/TC 211 “Geographic information/Geomatics” in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 287 “Geographic Information” the countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Introduction This International Standard specifies a schema for geo
23、graphic feature concept dictionaries managed as registers. As described in ISO 19101, geographic features are abstractions of real world phenomena associated with a location relative to the surface of the earth, about which data are collected, maintained and disseminated. A feature concept dictionar
24、y provides basic definitions and related information about a set of concepts that may be used to describe geographic features and shared across multiple application areas. Elements from a feature concept dictionary may be reused in one or more feature catalogues. A feature catalogue is often associa
25、ted with a particular application schema, product specification and data set. It provides a complete textual specification of a set of feature types and their properties and relationships. See Annex A for further discussion of the relationships between feature concept dictionaries, feature catalogue
26、s, application schemas and product specifications. ISO 19135 specifies procedures for the registration of items of geographic information. Items of geographic information that may be registered are members of object classes specified in technical standards such as those developed by ISO/TC 211. This
27、 International Standard defines object classes and specifies rules used to establish and maintain feature concept dictionaries as ISO 19135 conformant register schemas. ISO 19135 specifies the structure of a hierarchical register in which the principal register holds a set of items that describe the
28、 subregisters. This International Standard specifies a schema for a hierarchical register where the subregisters are feature concept dictionaries and/or feature catalogues. This International Standard specifies an accompanying schema. The resulting hierarchical register may be used as a basis for ha
29、rmonization and the establishment of interoperability between different geographic information communities. Feature concept dictionaries and feature catalogues maintained as registers may serve as sources of reference for similar registers established by other geographic information communities as p
30、art of a system of cross-referencing. Cross-referencing between respective items in registers of items of geographic information may be difficult in cases where the structure of registers differs between information communities. This International Standard may serve as a guide for different informat
31、ion communities to develop compatible registers that can support a system of geographic information cross-referencing. The Digital Geographic Information Working Group (DGIWG) community feature concept dictionary and register is described as an example implementation of this International Standard.
32、EN ISO 19126:2009 (E) DIN EN ISO 19126:2010-03 5 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a schema for feature concept dictionaries to be established and managed as registers. It does not specify schemas for feature catalogues or for the management of feature catalogues as registers. However, b
33、ecause feature catalogue are often derived from feature concept dictionaries, this International Standard does specify a schema for a hierarchical register of feature concept dictionaries and feature catalogues. These registers are in accordance with ISO 19135. 2 Conformance 2.1 Introduction To conf
34、orm to this International Standard, all of the conditions specified for at least one of the two conformance classes described below shall be satisfied. 2.2 Conformance for a feature concept dictionary Any feature concept dictionary that claims conformance to this International Standard shall satisfy
35、 all of the conditions specified in the following abstract test suites: a) ISO 19135, A.1, for general conformance to ISO 19135, and b) B.2 of this International Standard. A feature concept dictionary register established by ISO/TC 211 shall in addition satisfy all of the conditions specified in the
36、 ISO 19135 abstract test suite for registers established by ISO/TC 211 (ISO 19135, A.3). 2.3 Conformance for a register of feature concept dictionaries and/or feature catalogues Any register of feature concept dictionaries and/or feature catalogues that claims conformance to this International Stand
37、ard shall satisfy all of the conditions specified in the following abstract test suites: a) ISO 19135, A.1, for general conformance to ISO 19135, b) ISO 19135, A.2 for conformance to ISO 19135 as a hierarchical register, and c) B.3 of this International Standard. A register of feature concept dictio
38、naries and/or feature catalogues 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 (ISO 19135, A.3).

43、r party ISO 19131:2007, definition 4.7 4.1.4 data type specification of a value domain with operations allowed on values in this domain ISO/TS 19103:2005, definition 4.1.5 4.1.5 feature abstraction of real world phenomena ISO 19101:2002, definition 4.11 EXAMPLE The phenomenon named “Eiffel Tower” ma
44、y be classified with other similar phenomena into a feature type named “tower”. NOTE 1 A feature may occur as a type or an instance. In this International Standard, feature type is meant unless otherwise specified. NOTE 2 This International Standard does not address real world phenomena directly; it
45、 addresses only their abstractions (feature concepts and feature types) and feature instances (data collected to represent a feature in conformance with a specified feature type). EN ISO 19126:2009 (E) DIN EN ISO 19126:2010-03 7 4.1.6 feature association relationship that links instances of one feat
46、ure type with instances of the same or a different feature type ISO 19110:2005, definition 4.2 NOTE A feature association may occur as a type or an instance. In this International Standard, feature association type is meant unless otherwise specified. 4.1.7 feature association concept concept that m
47、ay be specified in detail as one or more feature association types EXAMPLE A “supports” feature association concept describes a relationship between real world phenomena such as “highways” and “bridges” where the role of one feature is that it is supported-by the other feature (whose role is support

EXAMPLE 2 A feature attribute named “length” may have an attribute value “82,4” which be
49、longs to the data type “real”. NOTE 1 A feature attribute may occur as a type or an instance. In this International Standard, feature attribute type is meant unless otherwise specified. NOTE 2 A feature attribute has a name, a data type and a value domain associated to it. A feature attribute for a feature instance also has an attribute value taken from the value domain. 4.1.9 feature attribute concept concept that may be specified in detail as one or more feature attribute types EXAMPLE A “height” feature attribute concept describes length in the ver
