Geospatial Information Type Codelist

The value domain of Geospatial Information Type Codelist is defined in the following table.

#	Code	English Name	Definition	Source
1	mapSheet	Map Sheet	Interpreted graphical abstraction of the geometric and semantic situation for a particular often rectangular part of the Earth’s surface using a symbolic signature defined in a legend with marginalia being part of the map. Examples: scanned topographic map, rendered feature data as a topographic or thematic map
2	mapCoverage	Map Coverage	Interpreted graphical abstraction of the geometric and semantic situation for a particular often rectangular part of the Earth’s surface using a symbolic signature defined in a legend where marginalia have been cropped from the map to build a seamless mosaic of map sheets without the marginalia. Examples: scanned and Georeferenced topographic maps building a mosaic of more than one sheet
3	elevationModel	Elevation Model	Mathematical representation of heights of the terrain above or below a reference surface. Examples: TIN, DTED or LIDAR measurements
4	imageMap	Image Map	Overlay of annotations and rendered features in a specific transparent symbology to Orthorectified imagery
5	gazetteer	Gazetteer	geographical directory of information about places and place names
6	rawImage	Raw Image	Matrix of pixel values as they are delivered as raw data from a sensor
7	imageCoverage	Image Coverage	Georectified image files seamlessly covering an area of interest
8	vector2D	Vector 2D	Structured data representing geospatial features. The geometrical aspect of the features is represented using point, line, or area geometric primitives which do not provide a full 3D representation of the real world (e.g., buildings may be represented by an area geometric primitive, possibly with vertices having 2 or 3 spatial coordinates, corresponding to the border of their rooves).
9	vector3D	Vector 3D	Structured data representing geospatial features. The geometrical aspect of the features is represented using point, line, area and solid geometric primitives providing a 3D representation of the real world (e.g., buildings may be represented by set of primitives and typically solids, describing their shape in more or less detail).
