The basic entity of geo-referenced information is the feature, which has spatial and non-spatial attributes. To distribute geo-referenced information effectively, one needs an efficient mechanism that will exchange the data without losing, reducing or altering the information. To satisfy this requirement, an exchange standard must, amongst other facilities, provide a means for recording information on data quality, for retaining all topological information and for classifying the features and their attributes present in the data.
