Gives rules for using the Geographic Information European Prestandards and the data description techniques for the development of applications for geographic information. Aspects included are: - how to define entities and their properties; - integrating the standardised schemas - development of metadata - representing contents of an application schema as metadata; - practical development methods for modelling; - defining any particular application schema, and - mapping between internal schemas and the application schema specification of necessary rules for using ENV 12658.
