DIN EN ISO 19144-1:2012-06

This part of ISO 19144 establishes the structure of a geographic information classification system, together with the mechanism for defining and registering the classifiers for such a system. It specifies the use of discrete coverages to represent the result of applying the classification system to a particular area and defines the technical structure of a register of classifiers in accordance with ISO 19135. The structure can be used to develop specific classification systems that address particular application areas, specified in other parts of ISO 19144. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-03-03 AA "Kartographie und Geoinformation (SpA zu CEN/TC 287+ISO/TC 211)" ("Cartography and geographic information (Mirror Committee CEN/TC 287+ISO/TC 211)") at DIN.
