Description

MCC 1.3 is an XML Schema implementation derived from ISO 19115-1, Geographic Information - Metadata - Part 1: Fundamentals, Clause 6.6.4. It includes abstract classes shared by multiple namespaces and is required in order to enable modularization of the XML implementation. The XML schema was encoded using the rules described in ISO/TS 19139:2007.

XML Namespace for mcc 1.3

The namespace URI for mcc 1.3 is https://schemas.isotc211.org/19115/-1/mcc/1.3.0.

XML Schema for mcc 1.3

mcc.xsd is the XML Schema document to be referenced by XML documents containing XML elements in the mcc 1.3 namespace or by XML Schema documents importing the mcc 1.3 namespace. This XML schema includes (indirectly) all the implemented concepts of the mcc namespace, but it does not contain the declaration of any types.

commonClasses.xsd implements the UML conceptual schema defined in ISO 19115-1, Geographic Information - Metadata - Part 1: Fundamentals, Clause 6.6.4. It was created using the encoding rules defined in ISO 19118, ISO 19139.

https://schemas.isotc211.org/19115/-1/mcc/1.3.0/commonClasses.xsd contains the following classes:

  • MD_Scope

  • MD_ScopeDescription

  • MD_Identifier

  • MD_BrowseGraphic

https://schemas.isotc211.org/19115/-1/mcc/1.3.0/commonClasses.xsd contains references to the following code lists:

  • MD_ProgressCode

  • MD_ScopeCode

  • MD_SpatialRepresentationTypeCode

AbstractCommonClasses.xsd implements the UML conceptual schema defined in ISO 19115-1, Geographic Information - Metadata - Part 1: Fundamentals, Clause 6.6.4. It was created using the encoding rules defined in ISO 19118, ISO 19139.

https://schemas.isotc211.org/19115/-1/mcc/1.3.0/AbstractCommonClasses.xsd contains the following classes:

  • Abstract_AcquisitionInformation

  • Abstract_ApplicationSchemaInformation

  • Abstract_Citation

  • Abstract_Constraints

  • Abstract_ContentInformation

  • Abstract_Distribution

  • Abstract_Extent

  • Abstract_Format

  • Abstract_LineageInformation

  • Abstract_MaintenanceInformation

  • Abstract_Metadata

  • Abstract_MetadataExtension

  • Abstract_OnlineResource

  • Abstract_Platform

  • Abstract_PortrayalCatalogueInformation

  • Abstract_ReferenceSystem

  • Abstract_ResourceDescription

  • Abstract_Responsibility

  • Abstract_SpatialRepresentation

  • Abstract_SpatialResolution

  • Abstract_StandardOrderProcess

  • Abstract_TypedDate

  • Abstract_Parameter
