SPATIAL DATA

TRANSFER STANDARD

PART 3

ISO 8211 Encoding

1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose of ISO 8211 Encoding

The ISO 82111 encoding provides a representation of a Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) file set in a standardized method enabling the file set to be exported to or imported from different media by general purpose ISO 8211 software.

1.2 Objectives

This encoding was selected with the following objectives:

  1. to place this standard within a broader community of interchange based on a general purpose, interchange standard;

  2. to place the encoding of this standard in a standardized vehicle that provides the syntax and semantics necessary to the transport of files, records, fields and subfields accompanied by their data description in a machine readable form;

  3. to provide for media independence of the transfer file set;

  4. to provide for future extensions of the standard (e.g. adding new modules, fields, subfields) without compromise of the then existing implementations;

  5. to provide for user extensions without compromising the constructs of the standard.

1.3 Relationship to Other Standards

ISO 8211 is a general purpose, mediainterchange standard whose variable length records may be written on any medium that is able to accept them, including communications lines. In order to promote transfer, the user is advised to employ media for which volume and file structure standards exist as well as widespread implementations. The specific requirements for currently standardized media are given in section 10.

1.4 Status of Annexes

The annexes do not form an integral part of the standard but are added to provide additional information and explanation.

1ISO 8211 Information Processing for a Data Descriptive File for Information Interchange (1985) is also the ANSI standard, ANSI/ISO 8211, and the Federal Information Processing Standard, FIPSPUB 123.

2 Scope and Field of Application

2.1 Scope

This part of the standard specifies an encoding of an SDTS file set in ISO 8211 and on standardized media.

2.2 Field of Application

This part of the standard applies to all ISO 8211 encodings of part 1 of this standard and to user extensions (see part 3, annex A) of this standard.

4 Definitions

The terms used in this part of the standard are limited to those terms in common usage, or defined in part 1 or part 2, or those found in the cited ISO 8211 document.

5 Nomenclature

The methodology of this part is to define ISO 8211 constructs which, for the purpose of transfer, accept the logical constructs of part 1 of the standard and preserve their meaning. Where possible, a correspondence is maintained between the module subfields and fields of part 1 and the ISO 8211 subfields and fields maintaining both identification and order when required.

The content and size of a transfer determine what fields are present and how they are collected into records and the records into files. Part 1 allows the user considerable freedom to structure records and files as needed and this part does likewise.

Table 1, in section 6, contains the specification for the ISO 8211 encoding of all module fields defined in part 1, section 5. The constructs of table 1 are related to the logical constructs of part 1 by section references, e.g., (see part 1, 5.d..), and by the following nomenclature equivalents:

Part 1             Table 1(1)
Module Subfield    Subfield/Element
Subfield Name/     Label
 Mnemonic       

Module Field       Field
Field Name         Name
Field Mnemonic     Tag

Domain             Data Type/Format
(1) ISO 8211 nomenclature

The identification nomenclature of part 1 has been used for most of the corresponding constructions of this part. The mnemonic for a module field becomes an ISO 8211 tag and the mnemonic for a subfield becomes an ISO 8211 label. Table 1 specifies any exceptions to this practice. The field names are the corresponding names in part 1. Specifications for the substantive contents and semantics of the user data subfields corresponding to the tags and labels are found in parts 1 and 2.

The following is a concordance relating the ISO 8211 data types of this Part to the data types and domains of part 1, section 4.2.1.

Generic      ISO 8211    Part 1

Type Data Type Data Type(s); Domain

Text A A; Graphic characters, Alphanumeric, Alphabetic

Integer I I; Integer

Real, fixed R R; Real

Real, float S S

Logical C C

Binary B B, BUI, BIdd, BUdd, BFPdd; Binary

The following domains may result in any one of the ISO 8211 data types depending on their use: Allowable values, Standard code sets and Standard field where domain is defined in Data Dictionary.

6 Specifications

This section specifies the allowable subset of tags, names, labels, formats and other control information necessary to the transfer of spatial data. It specifies the limits allowed users for those ISO 8211 parameters that are permitted to vary such that transfer may be accomplished. The specifications for several media are also provided.

Note:Annex A suggests methods by which private agreements can extend the standard within the general specifications of ISO 8211 in order that the user can, by private agreement, transfer data not anticipated by this standard in a manner that does not conflict with this standard.

6.1 Specifications of ISO 8211 Constructs

Table 1 specifies the ISO 8211 tags, control fields, names, labels and formats reserved by this standard for the transfer of a set of complete modules as single or multiple files.

The field controls in table 1 are based on the following rule. An ISO 8211 vector data structure (1x00) is used for all primary fields and other fields of part 1 that do not repeat within a module record. An ISO 8211 array data structure (2x00) is used for fields that may repeat within a module record. Alternatives to the field controls of table 1 are specified in 6.4.1.

6.1.1 Notational Conventions of Table 1

The contents of table 1 are formatted as follows:

Tag st00fuName& (See part 1, section reference) [n]|[m,n] Label& to next line as necessary Format; where: Tag is a four character ISO 8211 tag st00fu are the ISO 8211 field controls (6 bytes) where: s is the data structure code t is the data type code 00 are required characters f is the printable graphic for the field terminator u is the printable graphic for unit terminator

Note: The printable graphics ";" and "&" at other locations in table 1 represent FT(1/14) and UT(1/15), the required delimiters of the data description subfields.

Name&   is the ISO 8211 name and "&" represents 
its delimiter

[ ] signifies that no labels are specified

[n] signifies n subfield elements of an n

[m,n] signifies the number of elements in a two dimensional array; often an n, repeating m times

Where n is not explicitly specified, it is determined by the number of items in the user's n.

Where m is not explicitly specified, the field is a repeating nwhose first extent is determined from the data in the ISO 8211 field.

Label&

is an ISO 8211 vector label or Cartesian label and "&" represents its delimiter

A vector label identifies the components of an nand has the form, lab1!lab2!...labn.

A Cartesian label identifies the columns of a repeating table and has the form, *col1!col2!...coln.

Format;

is the ISO 8211 format control and ";" represents its delimiter.

When explicitly specified for a subfield, the ISO 8211 data type format code (i.e., A, I, R, S, C, B) is given.

The formats of subfields with user delimiters or fixed extents will require

The presence of "z" implies that the data type must be supplied by the user from the list of allowed types.

See 6.1.3 (e) for format variations.

The presence of:

"lowercase" implies a user assigned name, label or data type code.

Solid lines, "______", group associated sets of tags and field descriptions that form a spatial data module (i.e., the associated fields lie between the solid lines). The primary field of the set is listed first and the secondary fields, if any, are listed after the primary field.

(A,I,z); where z implies I|A.

________________________________________________________________ 6.1.2 Tags, Names and Labels

The tags, names, and labels shall conform to the meanings specified in part 1 and to table 1. The spelling of tags, names and labels shall conform to the spellings of table 1. Labels shall occur in the order specified in table 1 (see 6.2 for missing data specifications). Where there is a requirement in part 1 for the preservation of the order of module fields and (or) subfields or for the associations between module fields or subfields, this ordering shall be preserved by the order of the ISO 8211 records, fields and subfields.

Data descriptive fields that have no specified labels may be augmented by userlabels for the identification of subfield data (see part 1, 5.4).

ISO 8211 does not allow duplicate tags in the same data descriptive record. When there is a need to have duplicate instances of the same generic field description of table 1 in the same data descriptive record, a tag is permitted to have an optional fifth character to make the tags for the two instances unique.

For example two attribute modules may be encoded in the same file with primary attribute tags:

  • ATTP11600;&PRIMARY ATTRIBUTES&

    STATE!COUNTY!LANDTYPE&

    (A(2),A(15),I(1));

  • ATTP22600;&PRIMARY ATTRIBUTES&

    *VEG_TYPE!STOCKING_DATE&

    (I(1),A(8));

  • The length of the tags within a file must be uniform. Thus when a fifth character is required for uniqueness for some tags, all tags must be five character tags. The use of the character "blank" is not recommended.

    6.1.3 Permitted Variations in Field Controls and Formats

    ISO 8211 field controls and formats shall conform to table 1 in the following manner:

    6.1.4 Order of Data Items in Arrays

    The order of data items in arrays must match the order of the ISO 8211 subfield labels. In ISO 8211 the subfield labels for an array are specified as the Cartesian product of vector labels. These labels when multiplied out correspond to the order of the data.

    a!b!c!...!n*x!y!z = ax ay az bx by bz cx... nz

    Notice that the labels in the last vector vary fastest in the sequence. Hence, the order of data in arrays is essentially row-order, with the rightmost label varying fastest.

    When the first vector label is preceded by an asterisk (referred to as a null vector label in ISO 8211), then the Cartesian product of the vector labels can be thought of collectively as an n-tuple, and this n-tuple can be repeated in the data. In other words, this allows a single field to have multiple values corresponding to the same set of subfield labels.

    If an array has a fixed dimension and extent in all data records and a Cartesian label is not required, the label may be replaced by an array descriptor comprising the dimension of the array followed by the extent of each vector, all separated by commas. For instance for a 2 dimensional array with 1024 rows and 512 columns, this descriptor will be: 2,1024,512. This descriptor is also referred to as a "dope vector."

    6.2 Missing Data

    See part 1, 4.1.3.3.5, 4.1.3.3.6 and 4.1.3.3.9.

    This section specifies the methods by which the implementation permits the representation of missing data.

    6.2.1 Fields Missing from Entire Files

    When a data field is missing from all the data records of a file, the corresponding tag and data descriptive field may be omitted from the DDR of the file. (See part 1, 4.1.3.3.5)

    6.2.2 Fields Missing from Specific Data Records

    Missing fields may be indicated by omitting the tag from the data record directory and the field from user data area of the data record. (See part 1, 4.1.3.3.5)

    6.2.3 Consistently Missing Data Subfields

    When a labeled data subfield is consistently missing throughout a file in one of the tagged fields specified in table 1, then the subfield label corresponding to that data subfield may be omitted from the list of labels. The remaining labels shall occur in the order specified in table 1. (See part 1, 4.1.3.3.6.)

    6.2.4 Intermittently Missing Data Subfields

    When a data subfield is intermittently missing, a delimited data format shall be specified and a null data value comprising zero bytes shall be placed in the user data field followed by the appropriate delimiter. (See part 1, 4.1.3.3.9)

    6.3 Foreign Identifiers

    Foreign identifiers shall agree in data structure, data type and format with their references. The referenced record shall exist in the transfer file set.

    6.4 Repeating Fields and Records

    6.4.1 Repeating Fields

    Where part 1 permits or requires repeated fields (within and (or) between module records and (or) between modules) a data structure control of 2 (array) may be used allowing multiple instances of the data nin the same field. This can reduce overhead and keep similar data in close proximity. Conversely, where table 1 specifies a structure control of 2, a structure control of 1 may be used, possibly requiring use of additional fields with the same tag. Regardless of the structure control, the option also exists to use additional fields with the same tag and (or) to place the data in a separate record. Changes to the specifications of table 1 are further subject to the restrictions of sections 7 and 8. The required ordering of fields shall always be preserved.

    Note:It is advisable to keep both fields and records to a reasonable maximum length.

    6.4.2 Repeating Records

    When a file contains records having repeated fixed formats, the user may drop the ISO 8211 leader/directory as specified in that standard.

    Note:This is most applicable to those modules that are relational in structure and should be transparent to the user.

    7 Assignment of Fields to Records and Files

    This section assigns ISO 8211 field to ISO 8211 records and ISO 8211 records to ISO 8211 files. These assignments are determined by the specifications of part 1, table 3b with the further constraints of part 1, 4.1.3.4.1, section 7 of this part and ISO 8211 ordering constraints.

    7.1 Global Modules

    Each ISO 8211 record shall contain the ISO 8211 fields representing one and only one module record.

    Each ISO 8211 file shall contain the ISO 8211 records representing the data of one and only one global module.

    7.2 Other Modules

    The ISO 8211 records containing data from modules not included in 7.1 may contain ISO 8211 fields from one or more modules subject to the general constraints of this section.

    The ISO 8211 files containing data from modules not included in 7.1 may contain ISO 8211 records from one or more modules subject to the general constraints of this section.

    7.3 Multivolume Files

    Nothing in this section shall prevent the user form constructing multifiles if this is required by the volume of data and supported by the media standards. Multifiles shall be described in the Catalog/Directory module.

    In the event the media do not support multi-volume files, any multiple files necessary to transfer large volumes of data shall be described in the Catalog/Directory module.

    8 Record Structure

    See part 1, 4.1.3.4.1.

    A record may contain fields from more than one module. This section provides specifications for resolving and preventing conflicting associations of primary and secondary fields.

    8.1 Restriction on Primary Fields in Level 2 Files

    A record in a level 2 file shall not contain two or more primary fields having, in that record, a common secondary field or fields.

    8.2 Primary and Secondary Fields in Level 3 Files

    A record in a level 3 file may contain multiple primary fields without restriction. The logical association of primary fields with secondary fields shall be determined by the ISO 8211 inter tree structure (see ISO 8211 clauses 5.2.2 and 5.3.2).

    8.3 Arbitrary Field Sequence

    In order to specify an arbitrary sequence of fields, a tree in which all fields are offspring of the ISO 8211 record identification field may be used.

    9 Data Representation

    9.1 Numeric Data

    Character representation of numeric data shall conform to ISO 6093 with the provision that FULL STOP, i.e., period, shall be used for the decimal mark. Numeric fields shall be right adjusted.

    9.2 Dates

    A date in a numeric field shall be entered in the format YYYYMMDD.

    9.3 Binary Data

    Binary data shall be represented in ISO 8211 bit fields and subfields. These bit fields shall conform to the specifications of ISO 8632-3. The ISO 8211 subfield widths shall be specified as B(n) and the additional X3.122 format information shall be placed in the applicable Data Dictionary/Domain or Data Dictionary/Schema or Internal Spatial Reference or Raster module.

    10 Media Requirements

    The variable length records of ISO 8211 may be written on several media. This section specifies requirements for several standardized media.

    10.1 General Requirements

    The ISO 8211 logical records shall be written, blocked and spanned across the media physical records (blocks, sectors or packets) without further record demarcations. Any unused bytes of the last media record of a file shall be filled with CARET characters (5/14).

    10.2 Magnetic Tapes

    The ISO 8211 records shall be blocked and spanned into fixed length records of 2048 bytes in a blocksize of 2048 bytes conforming to level 2 of ANSI X3.27 and other applicable standards.

    10.3 Flexible Diskettes

    Diskettes shall be written in conformance to ISO 9293. The ISO 8211 records shall be blocked and spanned into sectors without record delimiters or control fields other than the record length provided in ISO 8211.

    10.4 Magnetic Tape Cartridges and Cassettes

    The ISO 8211 records shall be blocked and spanned into fixed length records of 2048 bytes in a blocksize of 2048 bytes conforming to level 2 of ANSI/ISO 4341 and other applicable standards.

    10.5 Compact Disk Read Only Memory

    The ISO 8211 records shall be blocked and spanned into fixed length media records of 2048 bytes in a Logical Block size of 2048 bytes with Record Format = 0 conforming to level 1 of ISO 9660 and other applicable standards.

    11 Conformance

    A Spatial Data Transfer file set is in conformance with this standard when all data files, records and fields are in conformance with the applicable media standards, ISO 8211, the specifications of part 3, sections 6 to 10 of this standard, and the required specifications of parts 1 and 2 of this standard.

    A single, simple README file, that informs the recipient of the nature of the file set, may be provided as the first file on a sequential media volume set and in the root directory of a random access media volume.

    ANNEXES

    Informative Annex

    A: Guidelines for Private Agreements

    Private agreements limit the scope of transfer and are discouraged. Recurring needs for similar private agreements with a significant number of users should be referred to the maintenance organization of the standard.

    The inclusion of ancillary data should be accomplished within the framework of ISO 8211 by defining private tags, names and labels. Inasmuch as ISO 8211 permits the association of tags within records, there is no need to compromise the tags and labels of this standard and conforming software. The following guidelines insure that no compromise will exist:
