# Package org.opengis.metadata.spatial

package org.opengis.metadata.spatial
Spatial representation information (includes grid and vector representation). The following is adapted from OpenGIS® Metadata (Topic 11) specification.

This package contains 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 and vector spatial representation. Each of the specified entities contains mandatory and optional metadata elements. When further description is necessary, vector spatial representation may be specified as georectified. and/or georeferenceable entity.

  2.0

  Description
  CellGeometry
  Code indicating whether grid data is point or area.
  Dimension
  Axis properties.
  DimensionNameType
  Name of the dimension.
  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.
  GeometricObjectType
  Name of point and vector spatial objects used to locate zero-, one-, and twodimensional spatial locations 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.
  PixelOrientation
  Point in a pixel corresponding to the Earth location of the pixel.
  SpatialRepresentation
  Digital mechanism used to represent spatial information.
  SpatialRepresentationType
  Method used to represent geographic information in the dataset.
  TopologyLevel
  Degree of complexity of the spatial relationships.
  VectorSpatialRepresentation
  Information about the vector spatial objects in the dataset.
