32、ndard - North American Profile of ISO 19115:2003 - Geo-graphic Information - Metadata and its sister profile the National Standard of Canada- North American Profile of ISO 19115:2003 - Geographic Information - Metadata isthe first publication of this content-identical document. This Profile is a sub
33、set of theISO 19115 - Geographic Information - Metadata, Edition 1 complying with ISO 19106- Geographic Information - Profiles. The goal of this Profile is to provide a mecha-nism for organizations producing geographic information to describe datasets in de-tail. The Profile helps users to better un
34、derstand geographic metadata, theassumptions and limitations of geographic information, and facilitates the search forproper information to fit users needs. The North American Profile of ISO 19115:2003- Geographic Information - Metadata was prepared to meet the specific geographicneeds of data produ
35、cers and users in the U.S. and Canada. This standard was developed by Technical Committee INCITS L1 of AccreditedStandards Committee INCITS and the Committee of Geomatics of the CanadianGeneral Standards Board under agreement between both technical committees be-ginning in September 2005 and continu
36、ing to adoption 2009. The Profile has eight clauses and six annexes. It also includes a Bibliography, whichcontains a list of informative references. Clause 1 sets the scope of the Profile.Clause 2 identifies the normative references. Clause 3 provides terms and defini-tions. Clause 4 provides infor
37、mation to use the Profile. Clause 5 describes the meta-data content and its structure. Clause 6 give the details on the handling cultural andlinguistic adaptability. Clause 7 gives details on code lists. Clause 8 provides the de-tails on extending the profile. Annex A, Metadata Schemas, provides nor
38、mative dia-grams describing metadata element of this profile in the Unified Modeling Language(UML). These diagrams are based on those of ISO 19115:2003 - Geographic infor-mation - Metadata. They provide “views,“ which are portions of the complete model,that defines a metadata section (UML package) o
39、f related entities, elements, datatypes, and code lists. Annex B, Data Types, a normative annex, provides definitionsfor the 26 data types used in the Profile. Annex C, Conformance Causes, a norma-tive annex, provides the tests, for metadata instance documents, for consideration ofconformance with t
40、he Profile. Annex D, List of NAP-Metadata Code Lists, an infor-mative annex, lists the code lists and enumerations that are referred by metadata el-ements. Annex E Metadata Implementation, an informative annex, provides anoverview and some examples of how to encode the metadata elements listed in th
41、isProfile. Annex F, Tranformation from/to NAP-Metada, an informative annex, pro-vides information on the three major metadata standards that were the foundationsfor the U.S. and Canada implementations prior to the North American Profile. Users of this standard are encouraged to determine if there ar
42、e standards in develop-ment or new versions of this Profile that may extend or clarify technical informationcontained in this Profile.Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, or defect re-ports are welcome. They should be sent to the National Committee for InformationTech
