985 Terms and Definitions of the ISO 19100 Standards Glossary This listing of terms and definitions has been compiled from the ISO 19100 standards published up until April 2011 or that have reached the enquiry or approval stage (Draft International Standard (DIS) or Final Draft International Standard (FDIS)). Every definition is followed by a source remark indicating the standard in which the term was originally defined. If the definition has been adopted from standards other than the geomatics standards, the ISO 19100 standard is mentioned as well. A few of the terms still have inconsistent definitions, such as “attribute”. In these cases, two or more definitions are given. The harmonization of all terms is ongoing in the ISO/TC 211 groups. A a posteriori classification NOTE Abstract test suites are described in a conformance classification scheme based upon definition of classes clause after clustering the field samples collected [ISO 19105] [UNFAO LCCS 2:2005, ISO 19144-1] acceptance testing (user) a priori classification process of determining whether an implementation classification scheme structured so that the classes are satisfies acceptance criteria, enabling the user to abstract conceptualizations of the types actually determine whether to accept the implementation occurring NOTE 1 This includes the planning and execution of NOTE The approach is based upon definition of several kinds of tests (e.g., functional, volume, classes before any data collection actually takes place performance tests) that demonstrate that the [UNFAO LCCS 2:2005, ISO 19144-1] implementation satisfies the user requirements abbreviation NOTE 2 This is not a part of conformance testing. designation formed by omitting words or letters from access control a longer form and designating the same concept combination of authentication and authorization [ISO 1087-1, ISO 19104] [ISO 19153] abstract test case accreditation generalized test for a particular requirement the outcome of the accreditation procedure NOTE An abstract test case is a formal basis for [ISO 19158] deriving executable test cases. One or more test accreditation framework purposes are encapsulated in the abstract test case. An the framework in which customers works with abstract test case is independent of both the suppliers to assure data quality implementation and the values. It should be complete [ISO 19158] in the sense that it is sufficient to enable a test verdict accreditation procedure to be assigned unambiguously to each potentially procedure by which a customer assures that its observable test outcome (i. e., sequence of test events) suppliers are capable of consistently delivering the [ISO 19105] product to the required quality abstract test method NOTE The accreditation procedure is a second-party method for testing implementation independent of any (customer) conformity assessment activity particular test procedure [ISO 19158] [ISO 19105] accuracy abstract test module closeness of agreement between an observed value set of related abstract test cases and the true value or a reference value accepted as true NOTE Abstract test modules may be nested in NOTE 1 A test result can be observations or a hierarchical way measurements [ISO 19105] NOTE 2 For positioning services, the test result is abstract test suite (ATS) a measured value or set of values abstract test module specifying all the requirements to NOTE 3 For observations and measurements, true be satisfied for conformance. values are not obtainable.
