Geographic information - Metadata - Part 2: Extensions for imagery and gridded data (ISO 19115-2:2009)

This part of ISO 19115 extends the existing geographic metadata standard by defining the schema required for describing imagery and gridded data. It provides information about the properties of the measuring equipment used to acquire the data, the geometry of the measuring process employed by the equipment, and the production process used to digitize the raw data. This extension deals with metadata needed to describe the derivation of geographic information from raw data, including the properties of the measuring system, and the numerical methods and computational procedures used in the derivation. The metadata required to address coverage data in general is addressed sufficiently in the general part of ISO 19115.

Geoinformation - Metadaten - Teil 2: Erweiterungen für Bild- und Rasterdaten (ISO 19115-2:2009)

Dieser Teil von ISO 19115 erweitert die bestehende Norm zu geographischen Metadaten durch Definieren
des zur Beschreibung von Bild- und Rasterdaten erforderlichen Schemas. Es werden Informationen
bereitgestellt zu den Eigenschaften der zur Datenerfassung verwendeten Messausrüstung, zu der Geometrie
des von der Ausrüstung angewendeten Messprozesses sowie zu dem zur Digitalisierung der Rohdaten
angewendeten Erzeugungsprozess. In der vorliegenden Erweiterung werden Metadaten behandelt, die zur
Beschreibung der Ableitung von Geoinformationsdaten aus Rohdaten erforderlich sind, einschließlich der
Eigenschaften des Messsystems und der numerischen Methoden und Rechenvorgänge im Zusammenhang
mit einer derartigen Ableitung. Die für Coverage-Daten im Allgemeinen erforderlichen Metadaten sind
ausführlich im allgemeinen Teil von ISO 19115 behandelt.

Information géographique - Métadonnées - Partie 2: Extensions pour les images et les matrices (ISO 19115-2:2009)

L'ISO 19115-2:2009 étend la norme existante sur les métadonnées géographiques en définissant le schéma requis de description des images et des matrices. Elle donne des informations relatives aux propriétés des équipements de mesure utilisés pour obtenir les données, la géométrie du processus de mesure utilisée par ces équipements, et le processus de production utilisé pour numériser les données brutes. Cette extension porte sur les métadonnées nécessaires pour décrire la déduction des informations géographiques à partir de données brutes, y compris les propriétés du système de mesure, et les méthodes numériques et procédures informatiques utilisées pour la déduction. Les métadonnées requises pour aborder les données de couverture en général sont suffisamment abordées dans la partie générale de l'ISO 19115.

Geografske informacije - Metapodatki - 2. del: Razširitev za podobe in mrežne podatke (ISO 19115-2:2009)

Ta del ISO 19115 razširja obstoječ geografski standard o metapodatkih z definiranjem sheme, potrebne za opisovanje podob in mrežnih podatkov. Zagotavlja informacije o lastnostih opreme za merjenje, ki se uporablja za pridobivanje podatkov, geometrijo postopka merjenja, ki ga uporablja oprema in produkcijski proces, ki se uporablja za digitalizacijo neobdelanih podatkov. Ta razširitev obravnava metapodatke, potrebne za opisovanje izpeljav geografskih informacij iz neobdelanih podatkov, vključno z lastnostmi merilnega sistema ter numerične metode in izračunske postopke, ki se uporabljajo pri izpeljavah. Metapodatki, potrebni za obravnavo vključenih podatkov na splošno, so v zadostni meri obravnavani v splošnem delu ISO 19115.

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
non-governmental, 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.
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 International 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 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 19115-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics.

ISO 19115-2:2009(E)
Introduction
Imagery and gridded data are important information sources and products used within a geospatial
environment by geographic information systems. The production of imagery and gridded data follows one or
more process chains that begin with remote sensing data, scanned maps, field data collection or other
sensing methods and end with the creation of the end data products. The production process needs to be
documented in order to maintain quality control over the end products. In addition, metadata about the
geometry of the measuring process and the properties of the measuring equipment need to be retained with
the raw data in order to support the production process.
Within the suite of ISO geographic information standards, ISO 19115 defines the guidelines for describing
geographic information and services. While the ISO 19115 metadata model does provide some provisions for
imagery and gridded data, the requirements were not fully developed at the time ISO 19115:2003 was drafted.
To permit the development of ISO 19115 to proceed, inclusion of metadata definitions for imagery and gridded
data was deferred until the framework for these data was more fully specified within the suite of ISO
geographic information standards. Additionally, other standards that implement metadata for imagery and
gridded data have been surveyed and are described in ISO/TR 19121.
The object of this part of ISO 19115 is to provide the additional structure to more extensively describe the
derivation of geographic imagery and gridded data. This structure is intended to augment ISO 19115.

5.3 UML model relationships
5.3.1 Associations
An association is used to describe a relationship between two or more classes. UML defines three different
types of relationships, called association, aggregation and composition. The three types have different
semantics. An ordinary association shall be used to represent a general relationship between two classes.
The aggregation and composition associations shall be used to create part-whole relationships between two
classes. The direction of an association must be specified. If the direction is not specified, it is assumed to be
a two-way association. If one-way associations are intended, the direction of the association can be marked
by an arrow at the end of the line.
An aggregation association is a relationship between two classes in which one of the classes plays the role of
container and the other plays the role of a containee.
A composition association is a strong aggregation. In a composition association, if a container object is
deleted, then all of its containee objects are deleted as well. The composition association shall be used when
the objects representing the parts of a container object cannot exist without the container object.
5.3.2 Generalization
A generalization is a relationship between a superclass and the subclasses that may be substituted for it. The
superclass is the generalized class, while the subclasses are specified classes.
5.3.3 Instantiation/Dependency
A dependency relationship shows that the client class depends on the supplier class/interface to provide
certain services, such as:
⎯ client class accesses a value (constant or variable) defined in the supplier class/interface;
⎯ operations of the client class invoke operations of the supplier class/interface;
⎯ operations of the client class have signatures whose return class or arguments are instances of the
supplier class/interface.
An instantiated relationship represents the act of substituting actual values for the parameters of a
parameterized class or parameterized class utility to create a specialized version of the more general item.
5.3.4 Roles
If an association is navigable in a particular direction, the model shall supply a “role name” that is appropriate
for the role of the target object in relation to the source object. Thus in a two-way association, two role names
will be supplied. Figure 2 represents how role names and cardinalities are expressed in UML diagrams.

5.4 UML model stereotypes
A UML stereotype is an extension mechanism for existing UML concepts. It is a model element that is used to
classify (or mark) other UML elements so that they in some respect behave as if they were instances of new
virtual or pseudo metamodel classes whose form is based on existing base metamodel classes. Stereotypes
augment the classification mechanisms on the basis of the built-in UML metamodel class hierarchy. Below are
brief descriptions of the stereotypes used in this part of ISO 19115. For more detailed descriptions consult
ISO/TS 19103.
In this part of ISO 19115 the following stereotypes are used.
a) <> class used for specification of a domain of instances (objects), together with the operations
applicable to the objects. A type may have attributes and associations.
b) <> data type whose instances form a list of named literal values. Both the enumeration
name and its literal values are declared. Enumeration means a short list of well-understood potential
values within a class.
c) <> a descriptor of a set of values that lack identity and whose operations do not have side
effects. Datatypes include primitive pre-defined types and user-definable types. Pre-defined types include
numbers, string, and time. User-definable types include enumerations.
d) <> used to describe a more open enumeration. <> is a flexible enumeration. Code
lists are useful for expressing a long list of potential values. If the elements of the list are completely
known, an enumeration should be used; if only the likely values of the elements are known, a code list
should be used.

SIST EN ISO 19115-2:2010
ISO 19115-2:2009(E)
e) <> describes a selection of one of the specified types. This is useful to specify a set of alternative
classes/types that can be used, without the need to create a common super-type/class.
f) <> class (or other classifier) that cannot be directly instantiated. UML notation for this to show
the name in italics.
g) <> class whose instances are classes. Metaclasses are typically used in the construction of
metamodels. A metaclass is an object class whose primary purpose is to hold metadata about another
class.
h) <> named set of operations that characterize the behaviour of an element.
i) <> cluster of logically related components, containing sub-packages.
j) <> package that contains definitions, without any sub-packages.
6 Imagery and gridded data metadata
6.1 Metadata for geospatial imagery and gridded data requirement
ISO 19115 identifies the metadata required to describe digital geographic data. This part of ISO 19115
extends the metadata identified in ISO 19115 and identifies the metadata required to describe digital
geospatial imagery and gridded data. ISO 19115 identifies some of the metadata for imagery and gridded data
and this part of ISO 19115 builds upon that foundation. The extended metadata shall be provided for

optionally be provided for aggregations of datasets.
6.2 Imagery and gridded data metadata packages
6.2.1 Introduction
Figure 3 illustrates the relationships among the packages described in this part of ISO 19115 and the relevant
packages specified in ISO 19115. The ISO 19115 UML model diagrams and data dictionary for each package
are fully specified in ISO 19115. The additional metadata for geospatial imagery and gridded data is fully
specified in the UML model diagrams and data dictionary for each additional package, which is given in
Annex A and Annex B, respectively. If a discrepancy between the two annexes exists, Annex A shall be
considered authoritative.

Figure 3 — Metadata packages
To ensure global uniqueness of class names, ISO/TS 19103 requires that all class names be defined with a
bi-alpha prefix that identifies the package in which the class is defined. ISO 19115 uses the prefixes MD
(Metadata), CI (Citation), DQ (Data quality), EX (Extent), and LI (Lineage). To differentiate between
ISO 19115 and entities of this part of ISO 19115, this part uses different prefixes. The prefixes used are MI
