1.2 Implementation Resources

For this standard to be beneficial to the spatial data community, it must be widely implemented. To assist in this effort, explanatory material, reference software, and sample datasets are available from the secretariat for this standard. (For further details see Annex A.)

At a minimum, software tools are needed to convert from proprietary, native, internal formats and structures to the structures (and hence concepts) of this standard. Similarly, tools are needed to import SDTS transfer file sets into the internal, processing structures and formats of spatial data processing software.
