13、ion 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 h

14、as 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. Int

15、ernational 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. Public

16、ation 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 ri

17、ghts. ISO 19112 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics. ISO 19112:2003(E) ISO 2003 All rights reserved vIntroduction Geographic information contains geospatial references that relate the features and information represented in the data or text to positions i

18、n geographic space. Spatial references fall into two categories: a) those using coordinates; b) those using geographic identifiers. This International Standard deals only with spatial referencing by geographic identifiers. This type of spatial reference is sometimes called “indirect”. Spatial refere

19、ncing by coordinates is the subject of ISO 19111. Spatial reference systems using geographic identifiers are not based explicitly on coordinates but on a relationship with a location defined by a geographic feature or features. The relationship of the position to the feature may be as follows: a) co

20、ntainment, where the position is within the geographic feature, for example in a country; b) based on local measurements, where the position is defined relative to a fixed point or points in the geographic feature or features, for example at a given distance along a street from a junction with anoth

21、er street; c) loosely related, where the position has a fuzzy relationship with the geographic feature or features, for example adjacent to a building or between two buildings. The purpose of this International Standard is to specify ways to define and describe systems of spatial references using ge

22、ographic identifiers. However, it only covers the definition and recording of the referencing feature, and does not consider the forms of the relationship of the position relative to that feature. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 19112:2003(E) ISO 2003 All rights reserved 1Geographic information Spatial r

23、eferencing by geographic identifiers 1 Scope This International Standard defines the conceptual schema for spatial references based on geographic identifiers. It establishes a general model for spatial referencing using geographic identifiers, defines the components of a spatial reference system and

24、 defines the essential components of a gazetteer. Spatial referencing by coordinates is addressed in ISO 19111. However, a mechanism for recording complementary coordinate references is included. This International Standard enables producers of data to define spatial reference systems using geograph

25、ic identifiers and assists users in understanding the spatial references used in datasets. It enables gazetteers to be constructed in a consistent manner and supports the development of other standards in the field of geographic information. This International Standard is applicable to digital geogr

26、aphic data, and its principles may be extended to other forms of geographic data such as maps, charts and textual documents. 2 Conformance Two classes of conformance are defined for this International Standard: any spatial reference system for which conformance with this document is claimed shall pa

27、ss all the requirements described in the abstract test suite given in Clause A.1. any gazetteer for which conformance with this document is claimed shall pass all the requirements described in the abstract test suite given in Clause A.2. The definition of an abstract test suite is given in ISO 19105

37、 element; description: the element description; obligation: whether the element shall always be recorded (M), or is optional (O), or is conditional on the stated condition being met (C); maximum occurrence: the number of instances that the element may have, one (1) or many (N); data type: a set of d

38、istinct values representing the element; domain: the values allowed or the use of free text. 6 Concepts of spatial referencing using geographic identifiers 6.1 Spatial referencing using geographic identifiers The position of a feature is identified by a spatial reference. Where a geographic identifi

39、er is used as this spatial reference, it uniquely identifies a location. This location is a feature used to reference other features. NOTE The spatial reference of a feature in a geographic dataset is usually held as an attribute of the feature, and defines an association with a location. The relati

40、onship with the location is usually that of containment within. However, more complex spatial references may be constructed using relationships such as “adjacent to” and “distance along” together with a measured distance and direction from the location identified. Reference systems for roads and rai

41、lways are often based on a measured distance from one node (end point or intersection) along a link (road or track). The spatial reference system used in a dataset forms part of the metadata for that dataset, as defined in ISO 19115. These concepts are illustrated in Figure 2, which applies at both

42、the type and instance level. Figure 2 The concepts of spatial referencing using geographic identifiers ISO 19112:2003(E) ISO 2003 All rights reserved 56.2 Spatial reference systems using geographic identifiers A spatial reference system using geographic identifiers comprises a related set of one or

43、more location types, together with their corresponding geographic identifiers. These location types may be related to each other through aggregation or disaggregation, possibly forming a hierarchy. Examples of spatial reference systems using geographic identifiers are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Examp

44、les of spatial reference systems Spatial reference system Location type Geographic identifiers country name countries as defined in ISO 3166-1 country country code set of population centres in a region town town name addresses in a town property property address river basin river basin name river ri

45、ver name hydrological hierarchy river reach river reach reference link node link link code 6.3 Gazetteers A gazetteer is a directory of geographic identifiers describing location instances. It will contain additional information regarding the position of each location instance. It may include a coor

46、dinate reference, but it may also be purely descriptive. If it contains a coordinate reference, this will enable transformation from the spatial reference system using geographic identifiers to the coordinate reference system. If it contains a descriptive reference, this will be a spatial reference

47、using a different spatial reference system with geographic identifiers, for example the postcode of a property. For any location type, there may be more than one gazetteer. The relationships among spatial reference system, location and gazetteer are shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 Spatial reference syst

49、ne or more location types (which may be related). Each location instance shall be uniquely identified by means of a geographic identifier. A spatial reference system using geographic identifiers shall be minimally described by the following attributes: name; theme; overall owner; territory of use. Details of these elements are shown in Table 2. A UML schema is given in Figure 4, and an example description of a spatial reference system is given in Annex B. Figure 4 UML model
