Article 13 Metadata required for Interoperability

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The metadata describing a spatial data set shall include the following metadata elements required for interoperability:

1. Coordinate Reference System

  • Description of the coordinate reference system(s) used in the data set.

    • 2. Temporal Reference System

  • Description of the temporal reference system(s) used in the data set.

    This element is mandatory only if the spatial data set contains temporal information that does not refer to the default temporal reference system.

    • 3. Encoding

  • Description of the computer language construct(s) specifying the representation of data objects in a record, file, message, storage device or transmission channel.

    • 4. Topological Consistency

  • Correctness of the explicitly encoded topological characteristics of the data set as described by the scope.

    This element is mandatory only if the data set includes types from the Generic Network Model and does not assure centreline topology (connectivity of centrelines) for the network.

    • 5. Character Encoding

  • The character encoding used in the data set.

    This element is mandatory only if an encoding is used that is not based on UTF-8.

    • F16. Spatial Representation Type

  • The method used to spatially represent geographic information.
