NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) which is identical with ISO 19136-2 : 2015 ‘Geographic information - Geography Markup Language (GML) Part 2 : Extended schemas and encoding rules’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Geospatial Information Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

This standard is published in two parts. The other part in this series is:

Part 1 Geography Markup Language (GML)

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as decimal marker.
