Technical Report of the Geographical Survey Institute A1-No.264 User's Manual for Spatial Data Product Specification Description May 2002 Preface to English Edition In Japan, the Geographical Survey Institute and private companies have jointly created and updated the Japanese Standards for Geographic Information (JSGI) in accordance with several standards in the draft stage to arrange implementation tests and utilization manuals since before the international standard based on ISO/TC211 si issued. User's Manual for Spatial Data Product Specification Description is created to spread the standards based on ISO/TC211 in Japan. This manual assumes that national organizations, local public organizations, and private companies use the ISO standards, and has the purpose that is different from that of ISO19131 Data Product Specifications. However, in order to help consider creating the standard for data product specifications or use the ISO standards in countries, this English version is created. The original of this manual is created from JSGI that is created in Japanese based on the draft standard created in English. Therefore, this English version is created through the processes of translation from English to Japanese, and from Japanese to English. Because of the time limit, the retranslated English technical terms are not examined carefully, and note that some terms are not correct. XML tag names are described alphabetically, but many of them are based on the Japanese alphabet (Roman character) notation instead of English because it is assumed that they are used in Japan. These tag names are not forcibly translated into English but "Note(E)" is appended to them. Japanese own terms are also supplemented with "Note(E)," but some of unimportant terms may remain in Japanese or have no supplementary explanation. Appendix B gives an overview of Japan Metadata Profile, UML and XML, and is included in Contents, but is omitted. Because JSGI is not based on the latest ISO/TC211 draft standard and Japanese-own revisions are made in JSGI, care is needed to use JSGI. For example, JSGI-Metadata remains based on the ISO19115 First Draft because the Japan Metadata Profile (JMP) in which Japanese own revisions are made based on the First Draft has already been used for clearinghouses in Japan. Other JSGI standards are about half a year to one year later than the latest ISO draft standard. In future, JSGI and utilization manuals will also be updated as standardization by ISO makes progress. The English version of some reports on and materials related to the results of implementation tests will also be created and released.
