ISO/TS 19163-1:2016根据属性属性、传感器类型和空间属性将图像和规则间隔的网格化专题数据分类为类型，并为每种类型的数据所需的组件定义了编码中性内容模型。它还指定了逻辑数据结构以及对结构中的内容组件进行编码的规则。 内容和特定编码格式之间的绑定将在ISO 19163的后续部分中定义。 ISO/TS 19163-1:2016未涉及激光雷达、声纳数据和非地理参考网格数据。 ISO 19163的后续部分将介绍内容组件的逻辑数据结构和编码规则。

ISO/TS 19163-1:2016 classifies imagery and regularly spaced gridded thematic data into types based on attribute property, sensor type and spatial property, and defines an encoding-neutral content model for the required components for each type of data. It also specifies logical data structures and the rules for encoding the content components in the structures. The binding between the content and a specific encoding format will be defined in the subsequent parts of ISO 19163. ISO/TS 19163-1:2016 does not address LiDAR, SONAR data and ungeoreferenced gridded data. The logical data structures and the rules for encoding the content components will be addressed in the subsequent parts of ISO 19163.
