3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this report, the definitions specified in Clause 4 of the OWS Common Implementation Standard [OGC 06-121r3] shall apply. In addition, the following terms
and definitions apply.
3.1
application schema Conceptual schema for data required by one or more applications.
[ISO 19101:2002, definition 4.2]
3.2
coverage Feature that acts as a function to return values from its range for any direct position
within its spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal domain.
[ISO 19123:2005, definition 4.17]
3.3
data type Specification of a value domain with operations allowed on values in this domain.
[ISOTS 19103:2005, definition 4.1.5] EXAMPLE Integer, Real, Boolean, String, Date conversion of a date into a series of
codes. NOTE Data types include primitive predefined types and user-definable types. All
instances of a data type lack identity.
3.4
domain feature Feature of a type defined within a particular application domain.
NOTE: This may be contrasted with observations and sampling features, which are features of types defined for cross-domain purposes.
[ISO 19156:2011, definition 4.4]

3.5
element XML Basic information item of an XML document containing child elements, attributes and
character data.
NOTE: From the XML Information Set ― each XML document contains one or more
elements, the boundaries of which are either delimited by start-tags and end-tags, or, for empty elements, by an empty-element tag. Each element has a type, identified by name,
sometimes called its ‘generic identifier’ GI, and may have a set of attribute specifications. Each attribute specification has a name and a value.
[ISO 19136:2007, definition 4.1.23]
3.6
feature Abstraction of a real-world phenomena.
[ISO 19101:2002, definition 4.11]
3.7
GML application schema Application schema written in XML Schema in accordance with the rules specified in
ISO 19136:2007.
[ISO 19136:2007, definition 4.1.34]
3.8
GML document XML document with a root element that is one of the elements AbstractFeature,
Dictionary or TopoComplex, specified in the GML schema or any element of a substitution group of any of these elements.
[ISO 19136:2007, definition 4.1.35]
3.9
GML profile Subset of the GML schema.
[ISO 19136:2007, definition 4.1.36]
3.10
GML schema Schema components in the XML namespace
―http:www.opengis.netgml3.2ǁ as specified in ISO 19136:2007.
[ISO 19136:2007, definition 4.1.37]

3.11
Linked Data The use of HTTP for accessing, updating, creating and deleting resources from servers
that expose their resources according to these rules of Linked Data: use URIs as names for things; use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names; when someone looks
up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards RDF, SPARQL; include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more things.
[W3C LDP]
3.12
measurement Set of operations having the objective of determining the value of a quantity.
[ISOTS 19101-2:2008, definition 4.20]
3.13
observation Act of observing a property.
NOTE: The goal of an observation may be to measure or otherwise determine the value of a property.
[ISO 19156:2011 definition 4.11]
3.14
observation procedure Method, algorithm or instrument, or system which may be used in making an
observation.
[ISO19156:2011, definition 4.12]
3.15
observation result Estimate of the value of a property determined through a known procedure.
[ISO 19156:2011, definition 4.14]
3.16
property Facet or attribute of an object referenced by a name.
[ISO 19143:2010, definition 4.21] EXAMPLE: Abbys car has the color red, where color red is a property of the car
instance.

3.17
register Set of files containing identifiers assigned to items with descriptions of the associated
items.
[ISO 19135-1:2015, definition 4.1.9]
3.18
registry Information system on which a register is maintained.
[ISO 19135-1:2015, definition 4.1.13]
3.19
resource Items of interest on the World Wide Web that are identified by global identifiers called
Uniform Resource Identifiers.
[W3C WEBARCH]
3.20
sampled feature The real-world domain feature of interest, such as a groundwater body, aquifer, river,
lake, or sea, which is observed.
[ISO 19156:2011]
3.21
sampling feature Feature, such as a station, transect, section or specimen, which is involved in making
observations of a domain feature.
NOTE: A sampling feature is purely an artefact of the observational strategy, and has no significance independent of the observational campaign.
[ISO 19156:2011, definition 4.17]
3.22
schema XML Schema XML document containing a collection of schema component definitions and
declarations within the same target namespace.
Example Schema components of W3C XML Schema are types, elements, attributes, groups, etc.
NOTE: The W3C XML Schema provides an XML interchange format for schema information. A single schema document provides descriptions of components associated

with a single XML namespace, but several documents may describe components in the same schema, i.e. the same target namespace.
[ISO 19136:2007, definition 4.1.54]
3.23
sensor Type of observation procedure that provides the estimated value of an observed property
at its output.
Note: A sensor uses a combination of physical, chemical or biological means in order to estimate the underlying observed property. At the end of the measuring chain electronic
devices often produce signals to be processed.
[OGC 08-094r1, definition 4.5]
3.24
timeseries Sequence of data values which are ordered in time.
[OGC 15-043r3, definition 4.9]
