          Description

Interface Summary
Dimension Axis properties.
GCP Information on ground control point.
GCPCollection Information about a control point collection.
GeolocationInformation Information used to determine geographic location corresponding to image location.
GeometricObjects Number of objects, listed by geometric object type, used in the dataset.
Georectified Grid whose cells are regularly spaced in a geographic (i.e., lat / long) or map coordinate system defined in the Spatial Referencing System (SRS) so that any cell in the grid can be geolocated given its grid coordinate and the grid origin, cell spacing, and orientation indication of whether or not geographic.
Georeferenceable Grid with cells irregularly spaced in any given geographic/map projection coordinate system, whose individual cells can be geolocated using geolocation information supplied with the data but cannot be geolocated from the grid properties alone.
GridSpatialRepresentation Basic information required to uniquely identify a resource or resources.
SpatialRepresentation Digital mechanism used to represent spatial information.
VectorSpatialRepresentation Information about the vector spatial objects in the dataset.
 

Class Summary
CellGeometry Code indicating whether grid data is point or area.
DimensionNameType Name of the dimension.
GeometricObjectType Name of point and vector spatial objects used to locate zero-, one-, and two-dimensional spatial locations in the dataset.
PixelOrientation Point in a pixel corresponding to the Earth location of the pixel.
SpatialRepresentationType Method used to represent geographic information in the dataset.
TopologyLevel Degree of complexity of the spatial relationships.
 

Package org.opengis.metadata.spatial Description

Information concerning the mechanisms used to represent spatial information in a dataset. The spatial representation entity is optional and can be specified as grid spatial representation or vector spatial representation. When further description is necessary, grid spatial representation may be specified as georectified or georeferenceable entity.

Metadata object are described in the OpenGIS® Metadata (Topic 11) specification. The following table shows the class hierarchy, together with a partial view of aggregation hierarchy:
