scope:

This International Standard specifies the conceptual and logical data model and physical encoding formats for geographic databases for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) applications and services. It includes a specification of potential contents of such databases (data dictionaries for Features, Attributes and Relationships), a specification of how these contents shall be represented, and of how relevant information about the database itself can be specified (metadata). The focus of this International Standard is on ITS applications and services and it emphasizes road and roadrelated information. ITS applications and services, however, also require information in addition to road and road-related information.
