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:
