Application | ISO 19107 provides conceptual schemas for describing and manipulating spatial characteristics of geographic features. The associated set of operators is also described. |
Conformance classes | Geometric primitives Geometric complexes Topological complexes Topological complexes with geometric realisations Boolean operators |
Implementation benefits | ISO 19107 describes the geometry and topology of vector features, as well as threedimensional features. The geometry described in ISO 19107 provides a means of quantitative description of features, for example, using coordinates or mathematical functions. The taxonomy of operators includes a formal definition and thus allows for harmonious implementations. |
Products | The concepts from ISO 19107 are implemented in applications such as Esri ArcGIS and QuantumGIS. ISO 19107 is also the basis for GML (refer to Table 10.16). |
