It was presented to XXVII SCAR, 15-26 July 2002, in Shanghai, China. The Spatial Data Model is one of nine projects of the Geographic Information Program 2000-2002. The goal of this project is 'To provide a SCAR standard spatial data model for use in SCAR and national GIS databases.' Activities within this project include: Continue developing the SCAR Feature Catalogue and the SCAR Spatial Data Model Provide SCAR Feature Catalogue online Creation and incorporation of symbology Investigate metadata / data quality requirements Ensure compliance to ISO TC211 and OGC standards Source: http://www.geoscience.scar.org/geog/geog.htm#stds Spatial data are increasingly being available in digital form, managed in a GIS and distributed on the web. More data are being exchanged between nations/institutions and used by a variety of disciplines. Exchange of data and its multiple use makes it necessary to provide a standard framework. The Feature Catalogue is one component of the Spatial Data Model, that will provide the platform for creating understandable and accessible data to users. Care has been taken to monitor the utility of relevant emerging ISO TC211 standards. The Feature Catalogue provides a detailed description of the nature and the structure of GIS and map information. It follows ISO/DIS 19110, Geographic Information - Methodology for feature cataloguing. The Feature Catalogue can be used in its entirety, or in part. The Feature Catalogue is a dynamic document, that will evolve with use over time. Considerable effort has gone into ensuring that the Feature Catalogue is a unified and efficient tool that can be used with any GIS software and at any scale of geographic information. The structure includes data quality information, terminology, database types and attribute options that will apply to any GIS. The Feature Catalogue is stored in a database to enable any component of the information to be easily viewed, printed, downloaded and updated via the Web. {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [73.5333, -53.1]} 73.5333 73.5333 -53.1 -53.1 AMD AMD/AU ANTARCTICA CATALOGUE CEOS CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA CONTINENT > AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND > AUSTRALIA EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/INVERTEBRATES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > BIRDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > FISH EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > MAMMALS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOLOGICAL DYNAMICS > SPECIES/POPULATION INTERACTIONS > EXOTIC SPECIES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS > RIVERS/STREAM EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > REEF EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS > ISLANDS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > VEGETATION > EXOTIC VEGETATION EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > VEGETATION > VEGETATION COVER EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > VEGETATION > VEGETATION SPECIES EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS > GLACIERS EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS > ICE SHEETS EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SEA ICE > ICEBERGS EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SEA ICE > LEADS EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > INFRASTRUCTURE > BUILDINGS EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > INFRASTRUCTURE > PIPELINES EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > INFRASTRUCTURE > TRANSPORTATION EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > GEOMORPHIC LANDFORMS/PROCESSES EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > TOPOGRAPHY > TERRAIN ELEVATION > CONTOUR MAPS EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > TOPOGRAPHY > TERRAIN ELEVATION > TOPOGRAPHICAL RELIEF MAPS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > BATHYMETRY/SEAFLOOR TOPOGRAPHY > SEAFLOOR TOPOGRAPHY EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > BATHYMETRY/SEAFLOOR TOPOGRAPHY > WATER DEPTH EARTH SCIENCE > PALEOCLIMATE > LAND RECORDS > MACROFOSSILS EARTH SCIENCE > PALEOCLIMATE > LAND RECORDS > MICROFOSSILS EARTH SCIENCE > PALEOCLIMATE > OCEAN/LAKE RECORDS > MACROFOSSILS EARTH SCIENCE > PALEOCLIMATE > OCEAN/LAKE RECORDS > MICROFOSSILS EARTH SCIENCE > SOLID EARTH > ROCKS/MINERALS/CRYSTALS > BEDROCK LITHOLOGY EARTH SCIENCE > SOLID EARTH > ROCKS/MINERALS/CRYSTALS > IGNEOUS ROCKS EARTH SCIENCE > SOLID EARTH > ROCKS/MINERALS/CRYSTALS > METAMORPHIC ROCKS EARTH SCIENCE > SOLID EARTH > ROCKS/MINERALS/CRYSTALS > SEDIMENTARY ROCKS EARTH SCIENCE > TERRESTRIAL HYDROSPHERE > SURFACE WATER > SURFACE WATER FEATURES > LAKES/RESERVOIRS FEATURE FEATURE CATALOGUE GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > HEARD AND MCDONALD ISLANDS OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN > MACQUARIE ISLAND SCAR VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Feature Catalogue Database HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset HTML Creative Commons by Attribution logo documentDigital PNG
