ISO 19110:2016定义了特征类型编目的方法。本文件规定了如何将要素类型组织到要素目录中，并将其呈现给一组地理数据的用户。本文件适用于在以前未编目的领域中创建特征类型目录，并修订现有特征目录，以符合标准实践。本文件适用于以数字形式表示的要素类型的编目。它的原理可以扩展到其他形式的地理数据的编目。特征目录独立于ISO 19126中定义的特征概念词典，可以在不使用或创建特征概念词典的情况下指定。 ISO 19110:2016适用于类型级别的地理特征定义。本文件不适用于每种类型的单个实例的表示。本文件不包括ISO 19117中规定的描述模式。 ISO 19110:2016可作为定义特定应用中建模的论述范围的基础，或用于标准化多个应用中建模的真实世界特征的一般方面。

ISO 19110:2016 defines the methodology for cataloguing feature types. This document specifies how feature types can be organized into a feature catalogue and presented to the users of a set of geographic data. This document is applicable to creating catalogues of feature types in previously uncatalogued domains and to revising existing feature catalogues to comply with standard practice. This document applies to the cataloguing of feature types that are represented in digital form. Its principles can be extended to the cataloguing of other forms of geographic data. Feature catalogues are independent of feature concept dictionaries defined in ISO 19126 and can be specified without having to use or create a Feature Concept Dictionary. ISO 19110:2016 is applicable to the definition of geographic features at the type level. This document is not applicable to the representation of individual instances of each type. This document excludes portrayal schemas as specified in ISO 19117. ISO 19110:2016 may be used as a basis for defining the universe of discourse being modelled in a particular application, or to standardize general aspects of real world features being modelled in more than one application.
