What is PD CEN/TR 15449-1 - Reference model for Spatial Data Infrastructure about?
PD CEN/TR 15449-1 is the first part of the multiple series document that provides a reference model for a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). PD CEN/TR 15449-1 covers framework standards and identifies the relevant standards, technical specifications, technical reports and guidelines.
PD CEN/TR 15449-1 provides a context model for the other parts of this Technical Report applying general architecture standards.
Note: The intended readership of PD CEN/TR 15449-1 are those people who are responsible for creating frameworks for SDIs, experts contributing to INSPIRE, experts in information and communication technologies and e-government that need to familiarize themselves with geographic information and SDI concepts, and standards developers and writers.
Who is PD CEN/TR 15449-1 - Reference model for Spatial Data Infrastructure for?
PD CEN/TR 15449-1 on spatial Data Infrastructure is useful for:
- Geospatial industries
- Geographic data operators
- Research and development team
- Software developers/engineers
- Software companies/ IT firms
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 15449-1 - Reference model for Spatial Data Infrastructure?
Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is a general term for the computerized environment for handling data that relates to a position on or near the surface of the earth. It may be defined in a range of ways, in different circumstances, from the local up to the global level.
PD CEN/TR 15449-1 focuses on the technical aspects of SDIs, thereby limiting the term SDI to mean an implementation neutral-technological infrastructure for geospatial data and services, based upon standards and specifications.
Overall, PD CEN/TR 15449-1 will assist you with SDI interoperability, a reference model for an SDI and Standards to implement the Core components to provide a general context model for the other Parts, applying general IT architecture standards.
