Geographic information - Rules for application schema (ISO 19109:2015)

This International Standard defines rules for creating and documenting application schemas, including
principles for the definition of features.
The scope of this International Standard includes the following:
— conceptual modelling of features and their properties from a universe of discourse;
— definition of application schemas;
— use of the conceptual schema language for application schemas;
— transition from the concepts in the conceptual model to the data types in the application schema;
— integration of standardized schemas from other ISO geographic information standards with the
application schema.
The following are outside the scope:
— choice of one particular conceptual schema language for application schemas;
— definition of any particular application schema;
— representation of feature types and their properties in a feature catalogue;
— representation of metadata;
— rules for mapping one application schema to another;
— implementation of the application schema in a computer environment;
— computer system and application software design;
— programming.

Les éléments suivants n'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application:
-      le choix d'un langage de schéma conceptuel particulier pour les schémas d'application;
-      la définition d'un schéma d'application particulier quel qu'il soit;
-      la représentation des types d'entités et leurs propriétés dans un catalogue d'entité;
-      la représentation des métadonnées;

Geografske informacije - Pravila za aplikacijsko shemo (ISO 19109:2015)

Ta mednarodni standard določa pravila za ustvarjanje in dokumentiranje aplikacijskih shem, vključno z
načeli določanja značilnosti.
Področje uporabe tega mednarodnega standardna vključuje:
– konceptualno modeliranje značilnosti in njihovih lastnosti na podlagi diskurza;
– definicijo aplikacijskih shem;
– uporabo jezika konceptualne sheme za aplikacijske sheme;
– prehod od konceptov v konceptualnem modelu do podatkovnih tipov v aplikacijski shemi;
– integracijo standardiziranih shem iz drugih standardov ISO o geografskih informacijah z
aplikacijsko shemo.
Področje uporabe ne zajema naslednjega:
– izbiro jezika konceptualne sheme za aplikacijske sheme;
– definicijo aplikacijskih shem;
– predstavitev tipov značilnosti in njihovih lastnosti v katalogu značilnosti;
– predstavitev metapodatkov;
– pravila za preslikavo ene aplikacijske sheme v drugo;
– implementacija aplikacijske sheme v računalniško okolje;
– računalniški sistem in programsko oblikovanje aplikacije;
– programiranje.

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.
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. www.iso.org/directives

Introduction
Any description of reality is always an abstraction, always partial, and always just one of many possible
“views”, depending on the application field.
The widespread application of computers and geographic information systems (GIS) has led to an
increased use of geographic data within multiple disciplines. With current technology as an enabler,
society’s reliance on such data is growing. Geographic datasets are increasingly being shared and
exchanged. They are also used for purposes other than those for which they were produced.
To ensure that data will be understood by both computer systems and users, the data structures for
data access and exchange must be fully documented. The interfaces between systems, therefore, need
to be defined with respect to data and operations, using the methods standardized in this International
Standard. For the construction of internal software and data storage with
