Geographic information - Data product specifications (ISO/FDIS 19131:2022)

ISO 19131:2007 specifies requirements for the specification of geographic data products, based upon the concepts of other ISO 19100 International Standards. It also provides help in the creation of data product specifications, so that they are easily understood and fit for their intended purpose.

Information géographique -— Spécifications de contenu informationnel (ISO/FDIS 19131:2022)

L'ISO 19131:2007 décrit les exigences relatives à la spécification de contenu informationnel géographique, en s'appuyant sur les concepts présentés dans les autres Normes internationales ISO 19100. Elle apporte également une aide en matière de création de spécifications de contenu informationnel, de sorte qu'elles puissent être comprises et utilisées dans le cadre pour lequel elles ont été prévues.

Foreword

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 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 non­governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics,

in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19131:2007), which has been technically

revised. It also incorporates ISO 19131:2007/Amd 1:2011.
The main changes are as follows:
— XML encoding has been added;
— mandatory sections working as place holders have been introduced;

— the UML model has been restructured, introducing new/renamed attributes and elements, and

ISO 19115-1 datatypes have been used where possible;

— new attributes and elements have been introduced to separate information in the overview (6.2.7.2).

— in subclause 6.2.7, "Class IdentificationSection,":

— the description and identification of the data product has been clearly separated from the

description and identification of the specification,

— the data type for attribute purpose has been changed to allow explanation of the purpose of the

data product using use cases,

— the attribute extent has been changed to allow specification of temporal and vertical extent, in

addition to the geographical extent; and

— a new attribute restriction has been introduced, used to describe handling restrictions of the

data product;
— in the Scope:

— relations between scopes have been removed (the concept of super­ and sub­scopes), and

— a requirement has been introduced that at least one of the attributes level, levelName, or extent

shall be used for each scope;

— the Data content and structure section (6.5) has been restructured using elements from ISO 19115­1;

— in the Reference systems section (6.6), the data type of the attribute temporalReferenceSystem has

been changed;
— in the Data quality section (6.7):

— the requirement to list data quality elements that have no defined quality requirements has

been removed, and

— a new attribute requirementId has been introduced, to be able to reference a specific data quality

requirement in other contexts;

— in the Data capture and production section (6.8), new elements and attributes have been introduced,

to contain information previously located in the attribute dataCaptureStatement;

— in the Maintenance section (6.9), information about maintenance has been made mandatory, and

the data type of the attribute maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency has been changed, with a new

mandatory attribute introduced;

— in the Delivery section (6.11), a new attribute deliveryService has been introduced;

— the Metadata section (6.12) has been restructured and new attributes introduced to specify

the metadata standard and encoding to be used, as well as a possibility to describe how specific

metadata elements should be used;
— a recommended layout has been introduced;

— a detailed overview regarding changes and backwards compatibility can be found in Annex B.

Introduction

A data product specification is a specification of a dataset or dataset series together with additional

information that will enable it to be created, supplied to and used by another party. In this context of

creating, supplying and using data products, the specification thereof is of essence in a controlled and

standardized process leading to interoperability. The data product specification is the final product

in a process that describes the conceptual formalization of semantics and data structure related to

specific requirements or use cases. It is a precise and full description of the data product in terms of the

requirements that it will or may fulfil. A data product specification is primarily a technical document

that may contain non-technical elements such as narrative descriptions of some aspects, like the

overview or data capture statements. However, for various reasons compromises can need to be made

in the implementation.

The purpose of this document is to provide requirements on the content of data product specifications,

in conformance with other existing International Standards for geographic information. This

conformance is at different levels. Firstly, there is the aspect of a dataset and its metadata conforming

to a data product specification, and secondly that the data product specification conforms to this

document. Some of the items used to specify the data product in a data product specification can also

be used as metadata for a data product that conforms to the data product specification. Figure 1 shows

how a data product specification relates to datasets and their metadata.

Figure 1 — Relations between this document (ISO 19131), the data product specification and

the datasets

A data product specification may be created and used on different occasions, by different parties and

for different reasons. It may, for example, be used for the original process of collecting data as well as

for products derived from already existing data. It may be created by producers to specify their product

or by users to state their requirements.

This document describes the content, structure and encoding of a data product specification.
