The Spatial Reference Model (SRM) Is A General Concept
There are two aspects of of the SRM discussed in this tutorial
One aspect is the SRM as an International Standard.
- ISO/IEC 18026 Spatial Reference Model.
- Under development, currently at working draft seven.
- The SRM tutorial uses the nomenclature, definitions and concepts of ISO/IEC 18026.
- Consistency with other International Standards is promoted.
- Efficiency of algorithms or their implementation is not part of the ISO/IEC 18026 specification.
Another aspect is the implementation of the SRM in SEDRIS
- The SEDRIS implementation is designed to be compliant with the emerging 18026 International Standard.
- The SEDRIS implementation is an application driven development.
- A software architecture and spatial operations API is required.
- Algorithms for operations in spatial frames are designed to be accurate robust and efficient.
- The SEDRIS software has been subject to extensive testing.
