Geographic information - Methodology for feature cataloguing (ISO 19110:2005)
This International Standard defines the methodology for cataloguing feature types. This International Standard specifies how the classification of feature types is organized into a feature catalogue and presented to the users of a set of geographic data. This International Standard is applicable to creating catalogues of feature types in previously uncatalogued domains and to revising existing feature catalogues to comply with standard practice. This International Standard applies to the cataloguing of feature types that are represented in digital form. Its principles can be extended to the cataloguing of other forms of geographic data.This International Standard is applicable to the definition of geographic features at the type level. This International Standard is not applicable to the representation of individual instances of each type. This International Standard excludes spatial, temporal, and portrayal schemas as specified in ISO 19107, ISO 19108, and ISO 19117, respectively. It also excludes collection criteria for feature instances.This International Standard may be used as a basis for defining the universe of discourse being modelled in a particular application, or to standardize general aspects of real world features being modelled in more than one application.

Information géographique - Méthodologie de catalogage des entités (ISO 19110:2005)
L'ISO 19110:2005 définit la méthodologie de catalogage des types d'entités. Elle spécifie comment la classification des types d'entités est organisée dans un catalogue d'entités et présentée aux utilisateurs d'un jeu de données géographiques. L'ISO 19110:2005 s'applique à la création de catalogues de types d'entités dans des domaines jusqu'ici non catalogués et à la révision des catalogues d'entités existants pour qu'ils soient conformes aux pratiques normalisées. Elle s'applique au catalogage des types d'entités qui sont représentés sous forme numérique. Ses principes peuvent être élargis au catalogage d'autres formes de données géographiques.
L'ISO 19110:2005 s'applique à la définition d'entités géographiques au niveau du type d'entité. Elle ne s'applique pas à la représentation des instances individuelles de chaque type. Elle exclut les schémas spatiaux, temporels et de présentation tels que spécifiés, respectivement dans l'ISO 19107, l'ISO 19108 et l'ISO 19117. Elle exclut également les critères de collecte pour les instances d'entités.
L'ISO 19110:2005 peut être utilisée comme base permettant de définir l'univers du discours modélisé dans une application particulière ou pour normaliser les aspects généraux d'entités du monde réel modélisés dans plusieurs applications.

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.

ISO 19110:2005(E)
Introduction
Geographic features are real world phenomena associated with a location relative to the Earth, about which
data are collected, maintained, and disseminated. Feature catalogues defining the types of features, their
operations, attributes, and associations represented in geographic data are indispensable to turning the data
into usable information. Such feature catalogues promote the dissemination, sharing, and use of geographic
data through providing a better understanding of the content and meaning of the data. Unless suppliers and
users of geographic data have a shared understanding of the kinds of real world phenomena represented by
the data, users will be unable to judge whether the data supplied are fit for their purpose.
The availability of standard feature catalogues that can be used multiple times will reduce costs of data
acquisition and simplify the process of product specification for geographic datasets.
This International Standard provides a standard framework for organizing and reporting the classification of
real world phenomena in a set of geographic data. Any set of geographic data is a greatly simplified and
reduced abstraction of a complex and diverse world. A catalogue of feature types can never capture the
richness of geographic reality. However, such a feature catalogue should present the particular abstraction
represented in a given dataset clearly, precisely, and in a form readily understandable and accessible to users
of the data.
Geographic features occur at two levels: instances and types. At the instance level, a geographic feature is
represented as a discrete phenomenon that is associated with its geographic and temporal coordinates and
may be portrayed by a particular graphic symbol. These individual feature instances are grouped into classes
with common characteristics: feature types. It is recognized that geographic information is subjectively
perceived and that its content depends upon the needs of particular applications. The needs of particular
applications determine the way instances are grouped into types within a particular classification scheme.
ISO 19109, Geographic information ― Rules for application schema specifies how data shall be organized to
reflect the particular needs of applications with similar data requirements.
NOTE The full description of the contents and structure of a geographic dataset is given by the application schema
developed in compliance with ISO 19109. The feature catalogue defines the meaning of the feature types and their
associated feature attributes, feature operations and feature associations contained in the application schema.
The collection criteria used to identify individual real world phenomena and to represent them as feature
instances in a dataset are not specified in this International Standard. Because they are not included in the
standards, collection criteria should be included separately in the product specification for each dataset.
A standard way of organizing feature catalogue information will not automatically result in harmonization or
interoperability between applications. In situations where classifications of features differ, this International
Standard may at least serve to clarify the differences and thereby help to avoid the errors that would result
from ignoring them. It may also be used as a standard framework within which to harmonize existing feature
catalogues that have overlapping domains.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 19110:2005(E)
Geographic information — Methodology for feature cataloguing
1 Scope
This International Standard defines the methodology for cataloguing feature types. This International Standard
specifies how the classification of feature types is organized into a feature catalogue and presented to the
users of a set of geographic data. This International Standard is applicable to creating catalogues of feature
types in previously uncatalogued domains and to revising existing feature catalogues to comply with standard
practice. This International Standard applies to the cataloguing of feature types that are represented in digital
form. Its principles can be extended to the cataloguing of other forms of geographic data.
This International Standard is applicable to the definition of geographic features at the type level. This
International Standard is not applicable to the representation of individual instances of each type. This
International Standard excludes spatial, temporal, and portrayal schemas as specified in ISO 19107,
ISO 19108, and ISO 19117, respectively. It also excludes collection criteria for feature instances.
This International Standard may be used as a basis for defining the universe of discourse being modelled in a
particular application, or to standardize general aspects of real world features being modelled in more than
one application.
2 Conformance
Because this International Standard specifies a number of options that are not required for all feature
catalogues, this clause specifies 12 conformance classes. These classes are differentiated on the basis of
three criteria:
a) What elements of a feature type are required in a catalogue:
1) feature attributes only?
2) feature attributes and feature associations?
3) feature attributes, feature associations, and feature operations?
b) Is there a requirement to link feature attributes, feature associations, and feature operations to only one
feature type or may they be linked to multiple feature types?
c) Is there a requirement to include inheritance relationships in the feature catalogue?
Annex A specifies a test module for each of the conformance classes, as shown in Table 1.

4.2
feature association
relationship that links instances of one feature (4.1) type with instances of the same or a different feature type
4.3
feature attribute
characteristic of a feature (4.1)
[ISO 19101]
EXAMPLE 1 A feature attribute named ‘colour’ may have an attribute value ‘green’ which belongs to the data type
‘text’.
EXAMPLE 2 A feature attribute named ‘length’ may have an attribute value ’82,4’ which belongs to the data type ‘real’.
NOTE 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.
4.4
feature catalogue
catalogue containing definitions and descriptions of the feature (4.1) types, feature attributes (4.3), and
feature associations (4.2) occurring in one or more sets of geographic data, together with any feature
operations that may be applied
4.5
feature operation
operation that every instance of a feature (4.1) type may perform
EXAMPLE A feature operation upon a ‘dam’ is to raise the dam. The results of this operation are to raise the height
of the ‘dam’ and the level of water in a ‘reservoir’.
NOTE Sometimes feature operations provide a basis for feature type definition.
4.6
functional language

6 Principal requirements
6.1 Feature catalogue
A feature catalogue shall present the abstraction of reality represented in one or more sets of geographic data
as a defined classification of phenomena. The basic level of classification in a feature catalogue shall be the
feature type. A feature catalogue shall be available in electronic form for any set of geographic data that
contains features. A feature catalogue may also comply with the specifications of this International Standard
independently of any existing set of geographic data.
6.2 Information elements
6.2.1 Introduction
The following clauses specify general and specific requirements for feature catalogue information elements.
Annex B specifies detailed requirements. Annex C illustrates the application of these requirements. Annex D
discusses the application of feature operations as the conceptual basis for determining feature types in a
feature catalogue.
6.2.2 Completeness
A template for the representation of feature classification information is specified in Annex B. A feature
catalogue prepared according to this template shall document all of the feature types found in a given set of
geographic data. The feature catalogue shall include identification information as specified in Annex B. The
feature catalogue shall include definitions and descriptions of all feature types contained in the data, including
any feature attributes and feature associations contained in the data that are associated with each feature
type, and optionally including feature operations that are supported by the data. To ensure predictability and
comparability of feature catalogue content across different applications, it is recommended that the feature
catalogue should include only the elements specified in Annex B. To maximize the usefulness of a feature
catalogue across different applications, the use of a conceptual schema language to model feature catalogue
information is recommended.
NOTE Natural-language definitions, feature-type aliases, criteria for the birth and death of feature instances, and
other semantic elements of the feature catalogue may be included in a conceptual schema as structured comments or as
attributes.
6.2.3 General requirements
6.2.3.1 Form of names
All feature types, feature attributes, feature associations, association roles, and feature operations included in
a feature catalogue shall be identified by a name that is unique within that feature catalogue. If the name of a
feature type, feature attribute, feature association, association role, or feature operation appears more than
once in that feature catalogue, the definition shall be the same for all occurrences.
6.2.3.2 Form of definitions
Definitions of feature types, feature attributes, feature attribute listed values, feature associations, association
roles, and feature operations shall be given in a natural language. These definitions shall be included in the
catalogue, unless the catalogue specifies a separate definition source. If the same term appears in both the
definition source and the feature catalogue, the definition in the feature catalogue shall apply.
6.2.4 Requirements for feature types
Each feature type shall be identified by a name and defined in a natural language. Each feature type may also
be identified by an alphanumeric code that is unique within the catalogue and it may have a set of aliases. The
feature catalogue shall also include, for each feature type, its feature operations and associated feature

ISO 19110:2005(E)
attributes, feature associations and association roles, if any. The use of functional language specifications to
help define feature types is recommended.
6.2.5 Requirements for feature operations
Feature operations, if any, shall be identified and defined for each feature type. Feature attributes involved in
each feature operation shall be specified well as any feature types affected by the operation. The definition
shall include a natural language definition and may be formally specified in a functional language.
6.2.6 Requirements for feature attributes
Feature attributes, if any, shall be identified and defined for each feature type. The definition shall include a
natural language definition and a specified data type for values of the attribute. Each feature attribute may
also be identified by an alphanumeric code that is unique within the catalogue.
6.2.7 Requirements for feature attribute listed values
Feature-attribute listed values, if any, shall be labelled for each feature attribute. The label shall be unique
within the feature attribute of which it is a listed value. Each listed value may also be identified by an
alphanumeric code that is unique within the feature attribute of which it is a listed value.
6.2.8 Requirements for feature associations
Feature associations, if any, shall be named and defined. Each feature association may also be identified by
an alphanumeric code that is unique within the catalogue. The names and roles of the feature types that
participate in the association shall be specified.
6.2.9 Requirements for association roles
Association roles, if any, shall be named and defined. The name of the feature type that holds the role and the
association in which it participates shall be specified.

Annex A
(normative)
Abstract test suite
A.1 Introduction
This normative annex presents the abstract test suite for evaluating conformance to this International
Standard. This abstract test suite contains fifteen test cases and twelve test modules: a test case for the
existence and form of feature catalogue information (A.2); a test case for general feature catalogue
requirements (A.3); test cases for each principal feature catalogue information class (A.4 through A.16); and
test modules for specific subsets of the functionality of a feature catalogue (A.17 through A.28).
Test cases are based on each principal-feature catalogue information class specified in Annex B, Tables B.1
through B.15. Each class-based test case consists of examining each class element (attribute or role) and
verifying that:
the obligation/condition specification for the presence of the element is met;
the maximum number of occurrences of the element is not exceeded;
the type of the value of the element is correct;
NOTE Unless otherwise stated, e.g., by specifying a type in a well-known package or ISO standard, the type
specifications as will be given in ISO/TS 19103 may be applied.
the value of the element is in accordance with the element description;
any specified constraint on the element is met.
Tests on the class as a whole are specified as class-constraints as specified in Annex B, Tables B.1 through
B.15, and/or in test modules.
Test modules are based on useful subsets of the functionality of the feature catalogue template specified in
Annex B. Subsets are organized starting with core functionality capable of representing feature types and
feature attributes that are unique to a feature type (see A.17). The core representation functionality is
extended by supporting one or more of the following
additional feature property types (for association roles, see A.18; for both association roles and feature
operations, see A.19);
additional relationships among feature catalogue information elements (for multiple-use feature attributes,
see A.20; for inheritance, see A.23; for both multiple-use feature attributes and inheritance, see A.26);
both additional feature property types and additional relationships among feature catalogue information
elements (see A.21, A.22, A.24, A.25, A.27 and A.28).
Test modules are specified by the test cases that apply. Test modules A.18 through A.28 extend the core
representation functionality specified by test module A.17. These extensions are summarized in Table 1.
To check that a feature catalogue conforms to this International Standard, verify that all of the requirements in
at least one test module are satisfied.
