BS ISO 19136-2:2015 The Geography Markup Language (GML) is an XML encoding in compliance with ISO 19118 for the
transport and storage of geographic information modelled in accordance with the conceptual modelling
framework used in the ISO 19100- series of International Standards and including both the spatial and
non-spatial properties of geographic features.This part of ISO 19136 defines the XML Schema syntax, mechanisms and conventions that:provide an open, vendor-neutral framework for the description of geospatial application schemas
for the transport and storage of geographic information in XML;allow profiles that support proper subsets of GML framework descriptive capabilities;support the description of geospatial application schemas for specialized domains and
information communities;enable the creation and maintenance of linked geographic application schemas and datasets;support the storage and transport of application schemas and datasets;increase the ability of organizations to share geographic application schemas and the information
they describe.Implementers may decide to store geographic application schemas and information in GML, or they
may decide to convert from some other storage format on demand and use GML only for schema and
data transport.This part of ISO 19136 builds on ISO 19136:2007 (GML 3.2), and extends it with additional schema
components and requirements.NOTE If an ISO 19109 conformant application schema described in UML is used as the basis for the storage
and transportation of geographic information, this part of ISO 19136 provides normative rules for the mapping of
such an application schema to a GML application schema in XML Schema and, as such, to an XML encoding for data
with a logical structure in accordance with the ISO 19109 conformant application schema.Cross References:ISO 19136:2007ISO 19148:2012ISO 8601:2004ISO/IEC 13249-3:2011ISO 14825:2011ISO 19107:2003ISO 19108:2002ISO 19109:2005ISO 19111:2007ISO 19118:2011ISO 19123:2005ISO 19125-1:2004ISO 19133:2005ISO/TS 19103:2005All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
