These standards are related to the presentation of geographic information on maps:

ISO 19117:2012 Geographic information - Portrayal, provides a schema for specifying symbols and mapping them to an application schema.

S-4 Regulations of the IHO for international (INT) charts and chart specifications of the IHO

S-52 Specifications for chart content and display aspects of ECDIS

S-65 ENCs: Production, maintenance and distribution guidance

S-66 Facts about electronic charts and carriage requirements

OpenGIS Styled Layer Descriptor Profile of the Web Map Service Implementation Specification (SLD) defines an encoding that extends the WMS standard to allow user-defined symbolization and coloring of geographic feature and coverage data. SLD addresses the need for users and software to be able to control the visual portrayal of the geospatial data served over the Web.

OpenGIS Symbology Encoding Implementation Specification (SE) defines an XML language for styling information that can be applied to digital feature and coverage data.

-'''Scope'''<br/>
+<!--T:125-->
-This International Standard specifies a conceptual schema for describing symbols, portrayal functions that map geo-spatial features to symbols, and the collection of symbols and portrayal functions into portrayal catalogues. This conceptual schema can be used in the design of portrayal systems. It allows feature data to be separate from portrayal data, permitting data to be portrayed in a dataset independent manner.
+* [[S-4 Regulations of the IHO for international (INT) charts and chart specifications of the IHO]]
-:This International Standard does not address the following:
+<!--T:126-->
-:* standard symbol collection (e.g. International Chart 1 – IHO);
+* [[S-52 Specifications for chart content and display aspects of ECDIS]]
-:* a standard for symbol graphics (e.g. scalable vector graphics [SVG]);
-:* portrayal services (e.g. web map service);
-:* capability for non:*visual portrayal (e.g. aural symbology);
-:* dynamic rendering (e.g. on the fly contouring of tides);
-:* portrayal finishing rules (e.g. generalization, resolve overprinting, displacement rules);
-:* 3D symbolization (e.g. simulation modelling).
-'''Implementation benefits''' <br/>
+<!--T:127-->
-The conceptual schema defined by ISO 19117 allows the development of a portrayal for a specific application field. This schema can be exchanged and implemented in different applications. One of the main benefits of ISO 19117 is that it will allow datasets to be displayed according to some specification without changing or manipulating the original dataset. Portrayal allows the client to create a unique representation for features to communicate an explicit meaning. ISO 19117 can be applied to a variety of products, such as hard copy maps, digital maps, and online representations in a web browser.

-'''Implementation guidelines''' <br/>
+<!--T:128-->
-Portrayal is the process of presenting information to humans. The portrayal mechanism (as shown in Figure 11.1) makes it possible to portray a single dataset in multiple ways without altering the dataset. Each feature will point to a rule that is applied when the feature is generated on a map, for example.

+* [[OpenGIS Styled Layer Descriptor Profile of the Web Map Service Implementation Specification]] (SLD) defines an encoding that extends the WMS standard to allow user-defined symbolization and coloring of geographic feature and coverage data. SLD addresses the need for users and software to be able to control the visual portrayal of the geospatial data served over the Web.
-The conceptual schema described in ISO 19117 is based on UML and follows the guidelines set out in ISO/TS 19103. The schema contains a series of UML packages, defining the portrayal core, and extensions for conditional functions, context, compound symbols, reusable components, parameterised symbols and the portrayal functions that use parameterised symbols. Fundamental to the concept of portrayal is that the symbols and portrayal functions shall be not be part of the dataset.

+* [[OpenGIS Symbology Encoding Implementation Specification]] (SE) defines an XML language for styling information that can be applied to digital feature and coverage data.
-: The portrayal core package is divided into three sub packages:
+==See also==
+* [[Standards#Groups of standards for geographic information]]
-:#Portrayal Function package<br/>This package is used to define mapping functions. The information to be portrayed shall be defined in an application schema, and all mandatory and conditional (if required) portrayal function elements shall be present in the functions. This package also ensures that elements, which are not being portrayed, are mapped to symbols with no components.
-:#Symbol package<br/>Symbol package is used to define symbols. For the symbol package a default symbol needs to be assigned, and all the mandatory and conditional (if required) symbol elements that shall be present. The core symbol class supports basic symbols, however, one can extend it, for example, with hatch fills or reusable symbols.
-:#Portrayal Catalogue package<br/>The portrayal catalogue package is used to define portrayal catalogues. The portrayal information, such as the feature portrayal functions and applicable symbols shall be present in the portrayal.
