Phạm vi áp dụng / Scope of standard

This part of ISO 19115 defines the schema required for
describing geographic information and services by means of
metadata. It provides information about the identification, the
extent, the quality, the spatial and temporal aspects, the content,
the spatial reference, the portrayal, distribution, and other
properties of digital geographic data and services.

This part of ISO 19115 is applicable to:

- the cataloguing of all types of resources, clearinghouse
activities, and the full description of datasets and services;

- geographic services, geographic datasets, dataset series, and
individual geographic features and feature properties.

This part of ISO 19115 defines:

- mandatory and conditional metadata sections, metadata
entities, and metadata elements;

- the minimum set of metadata required to serve most metadata
applications (data discovery, determining data fitness for use,
data access, data transfer, and use of digital data and
services);

- optional metadata elements to allow for a more extensive
standard description of resources, if required;

- a method for extending metadata to fit specialized needs.

Though this part of ISO 19115 is applicable to digital data and
services, its principles can be extended to many other types of
resources such as maps, charts, and textual documents as well as
non‐geographic data. Certain conditional metadata elements might
not apply to these other forms of data.
