Definition

Application Schema

ISO19109—Rules for application schema [1] defines an application schema as a conceptual schema for data required by one or more applications. In the context of geographic information, an application schema documents the content and the structure of geographic databases along with manipulating and processing operations of the application to a level of details that allows developers to set up consistent, maintainable, and unambiguous geographic databases and related applications [2]. As such, an application schema contributes to both the semantics of geographic data and describes the structure of the geographic information in a computer‐readable form. It also supports the use of the geographic data appropriately (i. e., fitness for use). Typically, an application schema is depicted in a formal conceptual schema language.
