39、ance of geography and how things relate spatially, combined with the advancement of electronic technology, have caused an expansion in the use of digital geographic information and geographic information systems worldwide. Increasingly, individuals from a wide range of disciplines outside of the geo
40、graphic sciences and information technologies are capable of producing, enhancing, and modifying digital geographic information. As the number, complexity, and diversity of geographic datasets grow, a method for providing an understanding of all aspects of this data grows in importance. Digital geog
41、raphic data is an attempt to model and describe the real world for use in computer analysis and graphic display of information. Any description of reality is always an abstraction, always partial, and always just one of many possible “views“. This “view“ or model of the real world is not an exact du
42、plication; some things are approximated, others are simplified, and some things are ignored. There is seldom perfect, complete, and correct data. To ensure that data is not misused, the assumptions and limitations affecting the creation of data must be fully documented. Metadata allows a producer to
43、 describe a dataset fully so that users can understand the assumptions and limitations and evaluate the datasets applicability for their intended use. Typically, geographic data is used by many people other than the producer. It is often produced by one individual or organization and used by another
44、. Proper documentation will provide those unfamiliar with the data with a better understanding, and enable them to use it properly. As geographic data producers and users handle more and more data, proper documentation will provide them with a keener knowledge of their holdings and will allow them t
45、o better manage data production, storage, updating, and reuse. The objective of this International Standard is to provide a structure for describing digital geographic data. This International Standard is intended to be used by information system analysts, program planners, and developers of geograp
46、hic information systems, as well as others in order to understand the basic principles and the overall requirements for standardization of geographic information. This International Standard defines metadata elements, provides a schema and establishes a common set of metadata terminology, definition
47、s, and extension procedures. When implemented by a data producer, this International Standard will: 1) Provide data producers with appropriate information to characterize their geographic data properly. 2) Facilitate the organization and management of metadata for geographic data. 3) Enable users to
48、 apply geographic data in the most efficient way by knowing its basic characteristics. 4) Facilitate data discovery, retrieval and reuse. Users will be better able to locate, access, evaluate, purchase and utilize geographic data. 5) Enable users to determine whether geographic data in a holding will be of use to them. This International Standard defines general-purpose metadata, in the field of geographic information. More detailed metadata for geographic datatypes and geographic services are defined in other ISO 19100 series standards and u
