3. ISO/TC 211 3 Base Standard Transportation Elevation Cadastral Hydrography Governmental Units Orthoimagery Geodetic Control Air Rail Roads Waterways Transit Framework Data Themes

4. ISO/TC 211 4 Standards development approach  Develop standards through procedures established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS).  Bring together subject matter experts from all levels of government (Federal, State, and local), academia, and the private sector to develop data standards for Framework themes  Provide UML modeling support  Transform UML data models into XML/Geography Markup Language schema documents

6. ISO/TC 211 6 Key ISO Standards: ISO 19109, Geographic information - Rules for application schema ISO 19115, Geographic information - Metadata ISO 19123, Geographic information - Schema for coverage geometry and functions ISO 19136, Geographic information – Geography Markup Language Applying ISO/TC 211 standards to the development of Framework Data Standards

7. ISO/TC 211 7 Application of ISO 19109 Use General Feature Model to describe geographic features (applies to geodetic control, cadastral, hydrography, transportation, and government units boundaries themes) Build Application schema in UML Applying ISO/TC 211 standards to the development of Framework Data Standards

8. ISO/TC 211 8 Application of ISO 19109

9. ISO/TC 211 9 Application of ISO 19109 Revised UML data model for Governmental Unit Boundaries

11. ISO/TC 211 11 Application of ISO 19115  Framework Data Standards will be compliant with ISO 19115  Some elements listed as optional in ISO 19115 are mandatory for Framework Data Standards  examples: Metadata standard name, Metadata standard version, Dataset purpose, Dataset progress, Dataset maintenance and update frequency  ISO 19115 elements closely match elements in FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata, FGDC- STD-001-1998 (version 2.0); therefore, data standards will be compliant with FGDC standard  FGDC standard lacks metadata elements for language and character set

12. ISO/TC 211 12 Application of ISO 19123 Application of ISO 19123 (for digital orthoimagery and elevation themes)  Digital orthoimagery adopts ISO 19123 classes such as CV_Coverage, CV_ContinuousQuadrilateralGridCoverage, CV_Grid, CV_GridValuesMatrix  Elevation standard models data as simple discrete coverages

13. ISO/TC 211 13 Application of ISO 19123 The draft elevation standard models data as simple discrete coverages Point coverage Curve (line) coverage Grid coverage Surface coverage

14. ISO/TC 211 14 Application of ISO 19136  UML data models in.xmi format (defined by OMG) were transformed to XML/Geography Markup Language (GML) schemas through UGAS software tool  The XML/GML schema documents can be used to create, validate, and process geographic information with XML parsing and validation software.  Activity supported through Information Interoperability component of the Open Geospatial Consortium’s Open Web Services 2.0 Testbed

15. ISO/TC 211 15 Status of Framework Data Standards  Standards project is registered as INCITS Project 1574- D, Geographic Information – Framework Data Content Standard  Objective is an American National Standard (ANS)  Standards initially developed through Geospatial One- Stop e-government initiative, but FGDC has assumed leadership for further development  Draft standards out for public review until October 30, 2004  The FGDC funded projects across the U.S. to serve and use Framework data over the web using the Open Geospatial Consortium’s Web Feature Service (WFS) specification.
