PREFACE Spatial information - images and maps, forms the foundation and basis for most planning and implementation of developmental activities; infrastructure development; disaster management support; environmental monitoring; natural resources management; business geographics and many other national activities. Even common citizens require maps and spatial information for their localized decision-making. Generating the information on the nation’s natural resources and its infrastructure; updating and maintaining the information sets and integrating these with administrative and social datasets provides the most optimal and scientific decision alternatives in support of national development. It is to this goal that the National Natural Resources Management System (NNRMS) is oriented to. Through various NNRMS projects/applications carried out by a number of agencies, national level spatial databases on a variety of natural resources have been generated and many, for the first time, have provided a full, national perspective of the natural resource. With a wealth of spatial data already available – some for the whole country and some for specific project areas, NNRMS is establishing a national GIS asset as a national-level Natural Resources Repository (NRR). This asset will become the main resource for spatial data and enable application services and solutions – supporting government, private and citizen demand for spatial information. Standards are a fundamental requirement for this national GIS. These standards enable technologies – imaging, GIS, GPS and applications – thematic mapping, services and outputs etc to work together. Standards are important not only to facilitate data sharing and increase interoperability, as is understood from many international efforts, but also to bring a systematization and “automation” into the total NNRMS process of mapping and GIS itself. Earlier, a GIS database standard had been developed as NRIS Standard and this has been used by many NNRMS users and projects. However, now it is realized that a comprehensive standardisation of the “process of activities” that are undertaken in NNRMS to generate the spatial information and also for making them available need to be assessed and this has been done by the Committee – over a series of video-conference meetings and physical sittings. A Repository process starts much before the GIS database – right from the images that are available from NRSA through the thematic mapping activity (where the images are converted into spatial “map” information), creation of the GIS database and archiving the spatial data, mechanisms for access and outputs and also addressing quality of the data – even as a vertical and horizontal seamless national GIS is organised. Many experts from ISRO/DOS Centres have debated and discussed each and every parameter of the Standards. Thus, the NNRMS Standards define a standardisation of the total process. We recognize and realise that Standards evolve and that we have carried forward that process ahead. Incidentally, the process we have adopted of "consensus through consultation" is exactly how a Standardisation process works - getting to “the most ideal standards” is a process that, we recognize, does not happen at one-shot but evolves through a step-by-step improvement. Improvement only means we have learnt more and are more experienced. Towards this, the Standards must be flexible enough to enable addition of and modification of the existing standards. We have recommended a Standing Committee Review process for this.

The NNRMS Standards definition Committee is pleased to submit its report which contains the comprehensive standardisation of RS and GIS application process – that will, hopefully, be of immense use by the Indian NNRMS community. The Committee is cognizant of the fact that this standardisation essentially addresss the Repository (images, maps, GIS databases and outputs) issues and that a separate effort for NNRMS Services/Applications Standards – defining the possible standardisation of value-addition and applications on the Repository (there could be numerous possibilities) and the formatting of the services/outputs (either in analog or digital mode) would be the next step of standardisation for NNRMS. We thank Mr Madhavan Nair, Chairman, ISRO/Secretary, DOS for having envisioned the need for such a Standard and giving us the opportunity to work out this important report – which we all feel will go a long way in the quick and smooth establishment of the NNRMS repository and operationalising operational services/outputs from this national GIS asset.

SECTION-A: BACKGROUND
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 1
1. INTRODUCTION 1. As part of the National Natural Resources Management System (NNRMS),
satellite and aerial images are utilized to generate a variety of spatial information sets in support of decision making and natural resources management for different agencies. Until now, a large amount of thematic information has been generated under various application projects using the IRS images and aerial data.
2. NNRMS supports the national requirements of natural resources management
and developmental needs by generating a proper and systematic inventory of natural resources. In doing so, NNRMS adopts various advanced technologies - satellite and aerial remote sensing; Geographical Information Systems (GIS); precise Positioning Systems; database and networking infrastructure and advanced ground-based survey techniques.
3. Over the years, NNRMS has provided the impetus to use of data from the
Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) series and has generated spatial databases through:
3.1. National mapping missions of NNRMS - wherein mapping and
inventory of forests, wastelands, land use, surface water bodies, wetlands, coastal landuse, groundwater etc, which have provided the basis for systematic management of these natural resources.
3.2. Use of satellite images and GIS for user-demanded resource
management applications like crop production estimation, land and water resources management in watersheds, urban management, coastal zone regulation, environment impact analysis, landslides hazard zonation etc – where decision-support information is generated.
3.3. Creation of large-area databases, covering many states, generated
under the Natural Resources Information Systems (NRIS) and other projects of NNRMS – which has developed standardized GIS databases and software tools to support planning and governance of the states.
4. In the 10th plan, one of the major elements of NNRMS is to establish a
national Natural Resources Repository (NRR) (EO 10th Plan Document, 2000) – wherein NNRMS aims to position consistent means to share spatial data among all users to produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. NNRMS-NRR aims to encompass the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of spatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community. The goal of this Repository is to enable a consistent repository of spatial information, reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to spatial information, to make spatial data more accessible to the users, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships amongst agencies

from the central government, state government, academia and the private sector to increase data usability (NRR Programme Document, 2005).
5. As part of the NNRMS, spatial datasets at scales of 1:250,000, 1:50,000,
1:10,000 and larger, derived from aerial and satellite images, would be archived in a systematic Natural Resources Data Base (NRDB) (NRR Document, 2004). Similarly, the Village Resources Centre (VRC) would also be generating variety of localized spatial databases to support the grass-root level. The NRR and VRC would include images, thematic maps, cadastral maps and other tabular datasets and would be organised as systematic Geographical Information System (GIS) databases. One of the important requirements for the NNRMS is to adopt standards that enable uniformity and flexibility in mapping and GIS database organisation.
6. The NNRMS Standards would be applicable to all future remote sensing (RS)
and GIS activities of NNRMS – for NRR projects, for VRC databases and other future projects. NNRMS would encourage the larger NNRMS community to utilise these standards – thus promoting this as a de-facto RS and GIS standards for the nation.
7. Through NNRMS, remote sensing and GIS applications have demonstrated
the operational capabilities to provide crucial support for national development. The use of satellite and aerial images in the country have made considerable impact in the areas of natural resources management, environment monitoring, disaster management and infrastructure development. Several national missions such as Landuse/Land cover mapping, Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission, nationwide Wasteland Mapping, Watershed Monitoring, Crop Acreage and Production Estimation (CAPE), Satellite based Potential Fishery Zone assessment etc are carried out basically to provide input for the policy, developmental planning, monitoring and evaluation.
8. Right from inception, NNRMS has recognised the importance of standardising
the applications activity by the generation of methodology manuals and standard classification systems for thematic mapping. Such manuals have been developed for Forest Mapping; Landuse Mapping; Wasteland Mapping; Coastal Zone mapping; Urban inventory; Drinking Water Targeting; Crop inventory; Landslide hazard Zonation and many other projects. In the early 1990s, NNRMS had also undertaken the Integrated Mission for Sustainable Development (IMSD) where remote sensing based thematic maps, integrated with socio-economic data, was the basis for generating optimal land and water management plans on watershed basis. The IMSD was taken up for 84 mha area of the country and was the first approach of providing such planning and implementation plans at district level and inclusive of the participatory approach. The IMSD methodology of “integration” was based on standardised mapping approach. Details of all these NNRMS applications methodology standardisation can be found in www.nnrms.gov.in. In these standardisation processes, the thrust has been towards developing standard classification system for the thematic mapping activity and also for quality assessment of the mapping activity.
NNRMS Standards

9. In 1998, the NNRMS took a major leap in defining GIS standards for the
Natural Resources Information System (NRIS) and adopted the “NRIS Standards”, the first GIS standardization in the country, wherein the GIS design and content standardization for the NRIS project had been optimally defined for 1:50,000 scale (NRIS Standards, 2001). Over the years, the NRIS standards have served the requirements of GIS databases and have emerged as the de-facto national guideline standards for GIS databases. Similarly, many NNRMS projects have re-scoped the NRIS standards and adopted them for various projects.
10. The different standards, as mentioned above, need to be now enhanced and
updated to incorporate variety of improvements and changes in image resolutions, mapping scales, spatial frameworks, datum and projection parameters, content definition and schematics, GIS designing and quality assessment methods. There is also a need to bring in uniformity in the standards adoption for national projects and position a national GIS standardization process through the NNRMS.
11. Parallely, in 2002-03, NNRMS has taken the lead to define the national
Metadata Standards – which now forms the base for NNRMS-NRR Metadata and is also being adopted at the national level by all mapping agencies as part of the spatial data infrastructure. The NNRMS Portal has adopted the Metadata Standards and has operationalised the NNRMS services.
12. The efforts at standardization in other countries – especially in USA (through
the US-NSDI and USGS National Map); Europe (through the IGN Standards of France and Eurogi Standards for Europe); Australia (through the AUSLIG NSDI Standards) and the international efforts of GSDI, ISO, OGC, CEOS, ISPRS etc. have been studied. Most of these standardization efforts are “compartmentalized” and address separately for images, cartographic mapping, thematic mapping, GIS and outputs – thus many even face difficulty of internal inter-operability. Internationally, there are efforts to define super-structure and over-arching standards that “relate” these individual efforts and bring about a harmony.
13. NNRMS-NRR would provide a base or structure of practices and relationships
among data producers and users that facilitates data sharing and use. It is a set of actions and new ways of accessing, sharing and using geographic data that enables far more comprehensive analysis of data to help decision-makers choose the best course(s) of action. Much has been accomplished in recent years to further the implementation of the NRR, but there is still much to be done to achieve the vision of current and accurate geographic data being readily available across the country.
14. Through NNRMS-NRR, organizations would be able to share, coordinate, and
serve/access key spatial data between users within an organization or between separate organizations using GIS as the central spatial engine.

15. To fully realize the capability and benefits of geographic information and GIS technology, spatial data needs to be shared and systems need to be interoperable. GIS technology provides the framework for a shared spatial data infrastructure and a distributed architecture.
16. With a view to develop a comprehensive set of standards for images, thematic
mapping, GIS and outputs/services – especially in the context of NNRMS activities, Chairman, ISRO/Secretary, DOS has established an internal committee (ANNEXURE-I), in November, 2004, to draft the NNRMS Standards and this document is a report of the Committee. The Committee hopes to start the national-level consultation process and formalize the NNRMS Standards for adoption.
17. The focus is on open standards to ensure a high level interoperability across
platforms, databases, development languages, and applications. The NNRMS Standards is based on the value of being "open," the evolution of spatial standards with the development of new technologies, including the future of Web Services, and provides an overview, where NNRMS is concentrating its efforts with regard to GIS databases and NRR.

2. STATE-OF-ART IN GIS STANDARDIZATION
18. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is evolving beyond the
traditional GIS community and becoming an integral part of the information infrastructure in many organizations. The unique integration capabilities of a GIS allow disparate data sets to be brought together to create complete picture of a situation. GIS technology illustrates relationships, connections, and patterns that are not necessarily obvious in any one data set, enabling organizations to make better decisions based on all relevant factors.
19. Standards provide a common method to manage, access, and display
information. By using accepted international standards, or widely used proprietary formats (de facto standards), an organization is able to maximize the use and relevance of digital data. The problem is in choosing or defining international standards that acknowledge the needs and interests of the users, developers and providers of data. GIS tools used on the internet/intranet are dependent on three major areas of standardization; geospatial data, the Internet, and the paradigm shift to distributed computing.
20. GIS users come from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines. There
are the traditional cartographers, land and resource managers, and utilities, transportation and communications companies. Now, new generations of users, including the public at large, are using GIS to analyze business geographics/demographics, track documents and freight, and find directions in any city of choice.
21. The wide usage of GIS, and the array of GIS products on the market, has led
to a common problem in the standards. There are a number of organizations proposing standards for the dissemination of geographic information. One of the primary concerns in data exchange is proper transfer of metadata. Metadata is data that describes features of other data, such as, the date of production, processing techniques, analysis performed, original source, etc.
22. The exchange of geospatial information, especially among government
organizations, within large corporations, and from legacy systems, has led to the demand for a common data format; or, at the very least, a small number of data transfer standards. Use of proprietary data formats leads to software dependency. Costs of converting data holdings to a different format limit an organization from using a more competitive application. Open Standards are therefore necessary to enable an enterprise to maintain open system concept and application extensibility.
23. An open GIS system allows sharing of geographic data, integration among
different GIS technologies and integration with other non-GIS applications. It is capable of operating on different platforms and databases and it can also facilitate a wide range of implementation scenarios from the individual consultant or mobile worker using GIS on a workstation or laptop to enterprise
NNRMS Standards

implementations that support hundreds of users working across multiple regions and departments. An open GIS also exposes objects that allow for customization and extension of functional capabilities using industry standard development tools.
24. To fully understand how NNRMS envisions spatial standards and GIS
interoperability, it is important to review how spatial standards have evolved over the years. Until the mid-'90s, organizations purchased GIS packages that closely tied applications to a native, proprietary spatial data model. These early non-relational file structures were highly optimized for fast access to data and, being file based, were relatively easy to distribute between sites BUT using the same GIS vendor software.
25. Data sharing among organizations with different GIS systems was limited to
data converters, transfer standards and later “open file” formats. Sharing spatial data with other core business applications was rarely achieved.
26. Gradually, GIS models evolved into geo-relational structures where related
attribute data could be stored in a relational database that was linked to the file-based spatial features. However, the geo-relational format had limited scalability and the dual data structure (spatial features stored in proprietary file-based format with attributes stored in a relational database) meant that the GIS could not take full advantage of relational database features such as backup and recovery, replication and fail-over. In addition, supporting large data layers required the use of complex tiling structures to maintain performance and sharing spatial information with other core business applications was still not possible.
27. In the mid-'90s, new technology emerged enabling spatial data storage in
relational databases (often referred to as spatially enabling the database), opening a new era of broad scalability and the support of large, non-tiled, seamless data layers. When the new spatially enabled databases were combined with client development environments that could be embedded within core business applications, the sharing of spatial features with core business applications, such as customer management systems, became possible. In addition, these spatially enabled databases allowed organizations to take the first steps toward enterprise or “National” GIS and the elimination of organizational "spatial data islands."
28. Perhaps not coincidently, the open GIS movement was spawned shortly after
the arrival of the first all-relational models capable of storing both spatial and attribute data in a relational database. At the same time, standards organizations such as the Open GIS Consortium (OGC), the International Organization for Standardization, and the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee, began promoting the idea of data sharing through spatial data standards. The early work of these organizations was focused on sharing simple spatial features in a relational database, thereby enabling interoperability between the commercial GIS vendors.

2.1 STANDARDS – A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE 29. Standards have been traditionally developed through international
organizations – as they bring in inter-national expertise and a common understanding. These efforts are seen to be inclusive and provide the best solution for nations to adopt. Standardisation, per se, in GIS started with the need to exchange GIS data generated from different GIS platforms. Thus, while Format and Exchange Standards were the drivers, data on the knowledge of other datasets - Metadata was yet another driver. The emergence of web technology also drove the efforts at developing protocols and standards for Metadata.
30. Now, GIS standards are publicly available due to the involvement of many
organizations in creating, reviewing and publishing these standards. There are number of organizations working on developing standards to make GIS more accessible and easier to use. To name a few:
30.1. International Standards Organization (ISO): The ISO is one of the
major standard organizations – which address Standards in various topics. The ISO Technical Committee 211 is the specific group that focuses on Geographic Information and Geomatics (www.isotc211.org). This group has Membership of 23 member countries and 13 countries as observer status. The ISO TC-211 addresses Standardization in the field of digital geographic information and aims to establish a structured set of standards for information concerning objects or phenomena that are directly or indirectly associated with a location relative to the Earth. The ISO standards specify, for geographic information, methods, tools and services for data management (including definition and description), acquiring, processing, analyzing, accessing, presenting and transferring such data in digital/electronic form between different users, systems and locations. ISO TC-211 has developed/undertaking standards development for many spatial attributes (http://www.isotc211.org/Outreach/Overview/Overview.htm) – a summary is provided in ANNEXURE-II.
30.1.1. ISO TC-211 standards have covered a large number of
process elements related to GIS. These Standard projects have resulted in specific ISO documents that are mainly recommendatory and consensus-based involving national agencies, industry and others. The actual development of solutions/tools for implementing and handling the standards are done through other entities.
30.2. European Committee for Standardization (CEN): The European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) has formed Technical Committee 287 to deal with the issue of geospatial standards. The scope of this committee is to develop a structured set of standards, which specifies a methodology to define, describe and transfer representations of the real world. To this end CEN/TC 287 has formed a work program
NNRMS Standards

initiatives to define standards for Reference Model, Spatial schema, Metadata, Quality principles/evaluation procedures etc. (http://www.cenorm.be/CENORM/BusinessDomains/TechnicalCommitteesWorkshops/CENTechnicalCommittees/Standards.asp?param=6268&title=CEN%2FTC+287). 30.2.1. The efforts of CEN are mainly on-going and are closely-linked
with ISO efforts – but bring in a European perspective and focus. Here too, the actual development of solutions/tools for implementing and handling the standards are done through other entities.
30.3. Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI): The Canadian
Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) is the underlying foundation needed to access, combine, and share geographic information (e.g., maps, satellite images) over the Internet and gain new insights into social, environmental, and economic issues. Standards are one of the five principle thrusts of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI). Standards provide for consistency in interfaces between data, users and systems. In order for the parts of the CGDI to operate and interwork, standards are necessary. Through standardization of data and interfaces, and interoperability of the data interchanged, the CGDI hopes to become an infrastructure rather than an unconnected assemblage of disjointed parts. CGDI recognises a need for many CGDI standards - for data and for different types of products, applications and services. CGDI also recognises that to be compatible, these standards need a common base or foundation data (http://www.geoconnections.org/publications/reports/PlanAndProcess/Recommendations_E.pdf)
30.4. National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) of USA: The National
Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) is a U.S. government initiative to develop policies, standards and procedures for more efficient collection, management and exchange of geospatial data. The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) is the agency responsible for the evolution of the NSDI. FGDC has pioneered the development of standards in support of the NSDI – through the Standards Working Group of the FGDC They coordinate overlapping standards activities, review and recommend proposals for FGDC standards, and review standards for compliance to policy and procedures. FGDC has developed/undertaking standards development for many spatial attributes and involving various national agencies in USA (http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/status/textstatus.html#Final) – a summary is provided in ANNEXURE-II.
30.4.1. The US FGDC and Sponsored Agency Standards are an
excellent set of standards that address the totality of process and are seen to be an evolving mechanism. The FGDC Standards are also recommendatory – which are adopted by many agencies and are the main vehicle for creating,

30.5. Open GIS Consortium (OGC): The OGC
(http://www.opengeospatial.org) is an international membership organization composed of over 250 international companies, government agencies, and academic institutions dedicated to the development of geospatial data and geo-processing standards. OGC aims to develop open interface specifications enable content providers, application developers and integrators to focus on delivering more capable products and services to consumers in less time, at less cost, and with more flexibility. OGC interfaces with ISO and other international agencies and develops tests and standard suites for the ISO standards. The OGC is working to develop the Open Geo-data Interoperability Specification (OGIS), described as a comprehensive software architecture specification that provides a standard way to represent all kinds of geo-data in software and a common set of services to support distributed geo-processing in heterogeneous environments. The OGIS promises true interoperability between software applications and data. OGIS aims to achieve the objectives of a universal format while satisfying the needs of data producers and the different data models they employ. Worldwide many government departments, organizations and GIS industry are adopting open GIS standards for Geospatial databases. Presently, the major initiative of OGC that are impacting the standardisation process are: 30.5.1. Geography Markup Language (GML): OGC is promoting and
developing the Geography Markup Language (ISO-19136, 2004) (http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=4700) - an XML grammar written in XML Schema for the modelling, transport, and storage of geographic information. GML provides a variety of kinds of objects for describing geography including features, coordinate reference systems, geometry, topology, time, units of measure and generalized values. GML is a living standard, originally developed within the Open GIS Consortium (OGC). As GML is already used in several commercial data and software products worldwide, compatibility of this version with previous versions of GML is important. OGC has decided that the best way to introduce changes to existing structures within GML is to deprecate elements, types, attributes and groups that shall not be used in new applications. These deprecated structures will then be removed from GML in a future version – depending on the adoption of these changes by the market.
2.2 STANDARDS – INDIAN PERSPECTIVE
31. NNRMS Mapping Guidelines and Manuals: NNRMS has provided valuable
information on natural resources and interrelated aspects for decision making at the national and state level. While executive national level projects, on
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 10
various themes such as wasteland, land use coastal land use, forests, biodiversity, hydro-geomorphology, etc., the emphasis was also on development of procedure manuals (NRSA, 1989; RRSSC, 1990; CW Manual, 1991; NRSA, 1995; NRSA, 1996; NRSA, 1997; Wetlands, 1998; NRSA, 2000(1); NRSA, 2000(2); NRSA, 2003(1); NRSA, 2003(2); NRSA, 2005). These manuals provided standardized classification systems, map representation scheme, interpretation key and process of generating output in a format desired by users. This helped NNRMS community in generating thematic information in a systematic manner. It provided basis for evolving the next level of GIS Standardisation.
32. NRIS Standards of NNRMS: Establishment of a Natural Resources
Information System (NRIS) has been the major element of NNRMS and has been conceptualised as the main information-base for NNRMS. NRIS has developed a network of GIS based nodes, which have 22 layers of thematic thematic information integrated and linked to 8 major parameters of socio-economic datasets. The system encompasses information on natural resources related to land, water, forests, minerals, soils etc. and socio-economic information such as demographic data, amenities, infrastructure etc. NRIS promotes and encourages the use of these GIS databases for planning and implementation decision-making at state, district and even sub-district (taluk, watersheds, panchayats etc) levels. Under the NNRMS, presently NRIS is covered in several states where 1:50K GIS databases have been organised in a systematic manner.
33. Right at the start of the NRIS activity in 1997, NNRMS realised the importance
of developing GIS Standards and building upon the thematic mapping standards already developed by various projects of NNRMS. In 1999, the NRIS Standards were formally released (NRIS, 1999). This NRIS Standard is basically a GIS database standard for the NRIS project.
34. The major issues that were considered in defining the NRIS Standards were:
34.1. The ultimate end users of the NRIS system were envisaged to be planners and decision makers of the government - experts in their respective areas/disciplines for whom easy-to-use tools were essential. Thus, it was recognised that the NRIS process had to be made easy, explicit and transparent.
34.2. The actual development of the NRIS would have to be done by State RS Centres and coordinated by ISRO/DOS. A decentralised and distributed approach had to be adopted for database implementation/verification and development/implementation of query and decision support shells. Thus, the GIS Standards must be clearly defined and be easy to implement by different groups.
34.3. The data inputs for NRIS were from different sources and in a variety of formats - including spatial as well as non-spatial form with varying levels of details vis-à-vis the scales of mapping. All these needed to be brought to a common formatting and framework for organising the large-area NRIS databases.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 11
34.4. Database redundancy had to be minimized in order to increase the data integrity.
34.5. The database quality parameters and the methods of data base validation had to be laid down in order to control the quality of inputs.
35. Keeping the above in mind, the NRIS Standards define the GIS database
design and attribute schema standards for NRIS project – defining the 22 layers Content and their coding schemes. The standards include:
35.1. The database contents along with the associated coding schemes,
level of details and the update cycles. 35.2. The spatial database design standards including the spatial framework
addressing the issues related to the co-ordinate system and the spatial and thematic accuracy levels to be enforced at the time of data input.
35.3. Database structure including the naming conventions and the schema for establishing linkages amongst spatial and non-spatial data components.
35.4. Automated and semi-automated procedures for verification and validation of the databases against laid down design standards.
36. Since 1999, the NRIS Standards have become the de-factor GIS Standards in
India and have not only been the core standards for the NRIS in several states but have also been in use in many organisations and agencies who have undertaken GIS activities. However, presently, the NRIS Standards, defined in 1997-99, have served the purpose of the NRIS project and also for many other users and are seen to be “scoped” to GIS databases organisation. Subsequently, attempts have been made to define national NSDI Standards in a GIS context (RRSSC-N, 2005). There is a growing realisation that the NRIS Standards must be “re-scoped” to address upstream and down-stream processes of the entire gamut of NNRMS activity and include the present-day needs of standardisation and the newer technologies that have emerged.
37. Metadata Standards: As a major effort towards establishment of a Spatial
Data Infrastructure in India, NNRMS has developed the Metadata Standard in 2002-2003. Metadata is first element and interface of the user to a repository– which enables a user to find, on-line, spatial data that is available with NNRMS. NNRMS Metadata serves two major purposes – both for the spatial data generator and for the spatial data user. For the generator, the NNRMS Metadata Standard provides a framework to document the spatial data and declare its content for users. For the user, the NNRMS Metadata Standard serves many important purposes, including finding the spatial data of his need; browsing spatial data; deciding on whether the spatial data will meet the application need and finding how the spatial data can be accessed.
38. The NNRMS Metadata Standard defines the schema and design for the NSDI
Metadata. The Metadata standards contain a set of relational tables that standardise the layer Metadata, the geographic search metadata, the access metadata etc. The Metadata Standards have been adopted by many agencies of NNRMS and have enabled for generating Metadata content in a systematic manner (NSDI Metadata, 2003 on www. nnrms.gov.in).
NNRMS Standards

39. Exchange Standard: India has also developed a NSDI Exchange Standards
(NSDE, 2003) defining the protocols and standards for exchanging spatial data across platforms and user groups. The NSDI Exchange Standards has evolved on the SOI DVD Exchange format to represent SOI toposheet data in digital form along with the point, line and polygon topology describing relationships among the spatial features point, line and polygon. In addition to the topographic data sets, the format also has provision to include digital images acquired by satellites and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and coded raster data. This format is further modified for accommodating various types of thematic data sets along with the associated attribute data in tabular form.
40. NSDE format is a set of ASCII files which is independent of platform or GIS
software and is structured to incorporate various types of data elements like vector data on topography as well as various types of thematic elements along with associated attributes data, Image data, DEM data, Coded raster GIS data etc
2.3 STANDARDS – LEARNING FOR NNRMS STANDARDS
41. From this limited, but key survey, it is seen that the global initiatives for
standardisation in GIS are towards:
41.1. Making recommendatory standards that can be adopted by data generators, application providers, data users and also specialised services on the web.
41.2. The standardisation is an ‘inclusive” process and brings together government, industry and other non-governmental agencies – but much of it is led by the efforts of national standards mechanism.
41.3. The standards efforts do not call for a “massive over-hauling” and re-structuring of data holdings but more of a “declarative nature” – where a data and its attributes are declared – for which standards are defined.
41.4. Definition of content standards for Metadata and GIS is the key direction and thus efforts are made to develop standard references for different thematic layers.
41.5. Most of the standards process are generic and are independent of and not-linked to any specific commercial software package – be it image processing, GIS, photogrammetry or web-mapping tools. The concept is to have flat standards that any software or any user can adapt for his need.
41.6. Standards are also addressing generation of “seamless” GIS databases and bringing in “free of scales but driven by content details” concept. The concept of a National Grid or a National Framework is the way ahead.
41.7. While the international efforts are taken as a guideline, many national efforts at adapting to local needs and local GIS culture drives national efforts. However, integration of the national efforts to the international efforts needs to be addressed.
41.8. Standards generation and maintenance process is recognised as a continuing activity – standards evolve over time and changes need to
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 13
be effected as technology advances. Thus, a standing mechanism for this through committees is adopted.
42. NNRMS Standards, defined in this document, has learnt from these global
experiences and has recognised many common tenets – enabling its proper juxta-positioning at international level.
42.1. A key difference we feel that is required is to have the standardisation
mature from just Data Content Standards or Metadata Standards but address “process” issues – thus addressing cross-cutting technical aspects of generation, archival, access, services etc on different varieties of spatial data – images, maps, attributes etc. Thus, NNRMS Standards would be over-arching and all-encompassing Standards.
42.2. While the international efforts may not be directly adaptable in India
and for NNRMS, they can however serve as a guideline and broad envelope. The “localisation” of the Content and Metadata Standards to Indian needs and criterion is important. Thus, NNRMS Standards would be different in that way.
42.3. NNRMS must participate in the international process of GIS
Standardisation and bring consensus and shape the future of spatial data handling.

3. TOWARDS NNRMS STANDARDS 43. Standardisation of activities in NNRMS has been an on-going activity. The
NNRMS application methodologies and the NRIS Standards of 2001 provided the base for thematic mapping and creation of GIS databases – mainly in design and content standardisation. The NRIS Standards provided a guideline for developing GIS databases. The NRIS Standards cover the database specifications, naming conventions, accuracy specifications and hierarchical classification of each of the 22 content layers. It also lays down procedures for database validation and accuracy estimation. Drawing upon the accumulated experience of remote sensing and GIS scientists working in the NNRMS Community, these standards were arrived at.
44. Simultaneously, a Metadata Standard was also developed that was an
exhaustive SQL-based 14 relational tables of 105 key spatial data parameters for searching and locating services. The NSDI Metadata document prepared and published by ISRO detailing the schemas and content of the Metadata records of spatial data and the design of the Metadata Server and Search and Access Protocols.
3.1 NNRMS REPOSITORY
45. The scope of the NNRMS Standards is guided by broadly considering the
type of content that would be populated in the NNRMS Repository (NRR Programme Document, 2003). The NNRMS Repository is visualised as a “network” of spatial data servers that will archive systematic GIS content at different scales generated from a systematic mapping process from different application projects of NNRMS (which would mainly use satellite and aerial images) and providing access to users of such spatial information. The concept envisages over-arching Repositories – which, in fact, would be a suite of databases (representing architecture or logical schema and even organisational database servers – all linked/networked to provide the Repository framework). The conceptual framework is shown in FIGURE-3.1.
46. As part of the NNRMS activity, presently the following is included:
46.1. Spatial information in the form of satellite and aerial images through the Indian Remote Sensing and other satellites and specific aerial surveys conducted for users.
46.2. Thematic maps from satellite images depicting various themes at different scales. From a user perspective, these thematic maps have high content and quality but are generally accepted at lesser than the stringent cartographic quality.
46.3. Cartographic quality maps – mainly from aerial images (though today, high resolution images can also provide cartographic quality images). From a user perspective, these maps follow the stringent cartographic quality needs.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 16
47. Based on the activities of NNMRS (and the past experience in satellite and
aerial images) and also considering the user segment needs, the Repository would have database content at 7 major scales and categorised into 2 levels of Repositories:
National Repository 47.1. 1:250000 scale spatial data that provides a national/regional
perspective of the images and themes. These would be mostly an outcome of using coarse resolution (55/188m IRS images) or appropriate aggregation from larger scales.
47.2. Any other “odd” or smaller scales of spatial data generated on specific user-request basis for national coverage.
State Repository 47.3. 1:50000 scale spatial data, which is the core content of image and
thematic information. These would be mostly an outcome of using moderate resolution (23/5m IRS images) or appropriate ground/survey.
47.4. 1:10000 scale spatial data which will be the newer type of systematic maps amenable from high resolution images (2.5/1m images)
47.5. 1:4000 scale spatial data – mainly thematic or cartographic quality maps that would form the base for cadastral and large scale urban information.

47.6. 1:2000 scale spatial data that would be mostly in “spot areas” from aerial surveys
47.7. Any other “odd” scales of spatial data generated on specific user-request basis.
3.2 STANDARDISATION OF THE “PROCESS”
48. Over the past 5 years, experience has demanded the improvement of the
Standardisation process – especially considering that technological advances now allowed creation of:
48.1. Seamless national-coverage databases as repositories of spatial data
– allowing geographical seamlessness in the databases. 48.2. Advanced EO images from IRS systems that allowed coarse-,
moderate- and high-resolution imaging – all spatially referenced and thus needing a nested approach at handling the multi-scaled thematic and cartographic spatial data.
48.3. Aerial survey based large-scale Cartographic quality spatial data that is mainly from photogrammetric analysis and where the content and precision are much higher than thematic data.
48.4. Need to address a “process approach” to standardisation – where standards define the end-to-end process of imaging, thematic mapping, GIS databases, Quality and Spatial outputs/services.
48.5. Web services – which require a fundamentally new framework and set of standards that envision a network of distributed computing nodes, which can include servers, workstations, desktop clients, and lightweight "pervasive" clients (phones, PDAs, etc.).
49. The NNRMS requires a major effort at standardization of the total process of
spatial information generation upto to its final delivery. Earlier, the NRIS Standards and Applications standards had addressed these aspects (though, as required) and had considered the national SOI graticule available at that time as the framework. But now, with the thrust on the National GIS Asset, it is felt that the total process needs a “common framework” and thus the standards need to include:
49.1. Images (both satellite and aerial) that are used for NNRMS activities.
The Image Standards must be able to define a most commonly acceptable framework of parameters that will be able to generate images that comply with the process of NNMRS information generation and thus amenable to standardization of subsequent steps.
49.2. Thematic Mapping Standards that can define the parameters for thematic mapping from the Images (which are already in standard form) so that the spatial maps generated are in conformity for the repository of NNRMS.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 18
49.3. GIS Database Standards that define the GIS design parameters for the NNRMS repository using the images and thematic maps (which are already in standard formats).
49.4. NNRMS Outputs/Service Standards – defining the parameters for the outputs - either in electronic (on-line or back-office) or analog form from the repository.
3.3 SOME IMPORTANT TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
50. There are a few important technical considerations for the Process
Standardisation – which are foundation to the NNRMS Standards:
50.1. Datum: The Datum of choice for the Standards is an important issue. In India, till now the Everest Datum has been prevalent and widely used as SOI toposheets were mainly available across this datum. Of late, the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) is seen as a commonly accepted and absolute global geodetic positioning system where coordinates are defined with reference to the centre of Earth. WGS 84 datum is currently accepted as the best-defined mathematical model to describe the earth’s surface – though its values are being further fine-tuned. The possibility that the earth’s equator is an ellipse rather than a circle and therefore that the ellipsoid is triaxial has been a matter of scientific controversy for many years. The orbital data coming from various satellites indicate more complex geometric phenomena. They indicate additional flattening at the South Pole accompanied by a bulge of the same degree at the North Pole. These theories, when irrefutably proven, may yield a much-different model. All these developments indicate that the datum standards are contemporary and for the purpose of NNRMS Standards the datum chosen would be WGS 84 datum (IRS Data Products Committee Report, 2001; RRSSC-N, 2002). The SOI Open Series Maps are also on WGS 84 datum and thus complete inter-compatibility would be achieved. At the same time, it is necessary to periodically review the standards and suggest modifications as necessary.
50.2. Map Projections: Map Projections are equally important parameters in
the standardisation process – especially when different process elements are involved – images, thematic and cartographic maps, GIS databases, outputs in digital or analog formats and so on. When defining spatial data standards, the problem of choosing the most suitable Map Projection becomes important – though, today with the availability of automated tools, it is easy to re-project spatial information from one Map Projection to another. The choice of Map Projection can be subdivided based on 3 important factors:
50.2.1. Factors characterizing the region being mapped are placed in
the first group. These include the geographical position of the region, its dimensions, the shape of its outline (configuration) and the degree to which adjacent regions are also to be represented.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 19
50.2.2. Factors characterizing the map being designed and the methods and conditions of its use, viz. the purpose and special features of the map, scale, contents, accuracy requirements and the display or projecting medium (paper, screen etc)
50.2.3. Factors characterizing the impact of the map projection itself - type of distortion and its distribution and acceptable levels of distortion of distance, angles, and areas etc; ability of the projection to represent the entire region etc
A Committee in ISRO/DOS has evaluated these Map Projection factors for India and also considering various content and scales and has recommended the choice of LCC and TM Projections for the different States of India (IRS Data Products Committee Report, 2001; RRSSC-N, 2002) for images and maps. As far as GIS database is concerned, archival of the spatial elements in Geographic Coordinates would be the best choice as free from projections and allow flexibility for seamlessness and also for providing outputs in any desired Map projection of choice of user.
50.3. Seamlessness (either real or virtual) is critical in the total
standardization process – allowing – both geographical and multi-scale seamlessness definition. The 2-dimension seamlessness will enable electronic access to the repository – making spatial frameworks and scales transparent to the user but at the same time maintaining the internal “rigidity” and accuracies of the GIS database. The NNRMS Standardisation has considered and embedded this important chrematistics in the definition.
51. Thus, the NNRMS Standards needs to address the above important technical
issues, as shown in FIGURE - 3.2, and it is felt that the total process standardization is essential and founding principle for the NRR.

3.4 SCOPE OF NNRMS STANDARDS
52. The NNRMS Standards must be seen as an all-encompassing framework that will facilitate and enable NNRMS community to build and develop systematic “repository compliant” databases and services. The Standards are not binding or mandatory but must be seen as mainly facilitating and enabling a national effort to build a repository.
53. The NNRMS Standards are “generic” in nature and designed to enable
systematic generation of the NNRMS Repository. The NNRMS Standards are flexible enough to be able to incorporate any spatial data but confirming to a basic set of parameters. Thus, the Standards are independent of specific content, source of generation of spatial data, specific software and are more generic to spatial databases.

4. NATIONAL SPATIAL FRAMEWORK 54. The definition of the National Spatial Framework (NSF) is the most critical
aspect for the seamlessness of the multi-scale spatial database of the repository. The Framework has to be a combination of datum, projection and bounding limits definition (with assessment of accuracy) – that allows the most easy and accurate registration, transformation and visualization of the spatial information in the repository. In its simplest form, any spatial framework would be a frame of geographical coordinates with link points aimed at providing an invariant reference for all spatial data sets. However, with multi-scale and “seamless” geographical coverage, the NSF would have to be a combination of sub-frameworks that correspond to the nation, states (or regions) and lower units.
55. The NSF definition has been studied and the following design guidelines have
driven a conceptual framework (FIGURE – 4.1):
55.1. The GIS database of the repository can be in geographic coordinates so that the final delivery can be in a variety of formats or frameworks (even user definable). This will allow tremendous flexibility in design and outputs.
55.2. However, it is recognized that images and thematic maps would most probably comply with nationally-used frameworks (presently SOI framework) and thus this will continue.
55.3. Thus, maps generated would get transformed to geographic framework for archival.

56. A 2-level framework would constitute the NSF, as follows (shown in FIGURES – 4.2 and 4.3):
56.1. A small-scale nationally “seamless” framework for 1:250000 scale
spatial information – conforming to a set of national parameters 56.2. Individual state-level frameworks for 1:50000 scale and larger
(1:10000, 1:4000 and 1:2000) 57. As a starting point this implies that all the databases should have a common
origin and coordinate system and calling for a Seamless system for entire country having same co-ordinate and projection system.
58. The NSF design is based on the policy guidelines of the National Map Policy
(NMP) (NMP, 2005) – which allows an Open Series Maps (OSM) for civilian use. The NMP OSM is characterized by WGS-84 datum for all scales of mapping.
59. The NSF is “tagged” to precise locations based on 2 important design
schemes: 59.1. Adopting a standard boundary template for the 2 NSF. NNRMS
Standard will adopt the boundary template as provided by SOI and will conform all its products – images, maps and GIS database to this template.
59.2. Defining standard framework parameters that are applicable to images, maps and GIS database.
59.3. Adopting a standard tie-point for the “anchoring” of each geographical lat/long coordinate to a “precise” location in the 2-dimensional space and referenced to the boundary template of the country and the states.
4.1 NSF – BOUNDARY TEMPLATE
60. The boundary template of India and the states for the NSF is of prime
importance. The Boundary template will determine the “link” of the Repository to the administrative limits of the nation and also allow referencing to a large amount of administrative GIS databases that are available.
61. Choice of the template coverage has to be standardised so that all NNRMS
users use the same template and “limit” their image, mapping, GIS activities within the boundaries defined – thus enabling a proper registration of the Repository across content.
62. NNRMS has decided to adopt Standard boundary “template” of India –
obtained from SOI in digital format – a boundary template that would defined from SOI topographic maps on 1:250K scale. Similarly, NNRMS NSF would use a Standard boundary “template” for each state – obtained from SOI in digital format – a boundary template that would be defined from SOI topographic maps on 1:50K scale.

4.2 NSF PARAMETERS FOR 1:250K NATIONAL DATABASE
63. The first level of the NSF is the national-level “seamless” framework for the
1:250K Repository of the NNRMS. The 1:250K NSF will have the following characteristic:
63.1. Datum would be WGS-84 – keeping conformity of the NMP. 63.2. Projection for images and maps would be Lambert Conformal Conic
(LCC) – which is the most suited for the national level mapping activity and uniformly distributes position and area errors across latitudes. The LCC has also been recommended by the ISRO-level Committee on Map Projections and Datum for future IRS Data Products (IRS Data Products Committee Report, 2001). 63.2.1. 2 Standard Parallel defined with a K=4 factor – which are
based on definition by SOI 63.2.2. A Central Meridian definition and a Latitude for Origin definition
for the nation – both together defining the origin of the single coordinate system for the nation – which is basically adopted as defined by SOI
63.2.3. Any false Easting and false Northing to bring all coordinates of the nation into positive real numbers - – which is basically adopted as defined by SOI
63.2.4. NNRMS recommends 4 coordinate points of a “bounding box” that envelopes the Indian boundary – which mainly defines the boundling limits for the framework and which is extended to cover a full 1o X 1o tile at the boundary.
63.3. Projection for GIS database would be Geographic.

64. FIGURE – 4.2 shows the details of the 1:250K NSF with the standards India boundary template and LCC parameters. The National template is characterized by areas of each state and has been quantified and asses sed
as is given in TABLE – 4.1 and totals to a national-level area of 3184271.339 sq kms (as against the Census area of 3166285 sq km – not including full J&K area).
4.3 NSF PARAMETERS FOR 1:50K & LARGER SCALE
STATE DATABASE 65. The second level of the NSF is the state-level “seamless” framework for the
1:50K and larger scales of Repository of the NNRMS. As has been mentioned earlier, all larger than 1:50K would use the 1:50K NSF so that a systematic correlation exists across scales at this level.
66. The 1:50K NSF will have the following characteristic:
66.1. Datum would be WGS-84 – keeping conformity of the NMP. 66.2. Projection for images and maps would be Lambert Conformal Conic
(LCC) for most states where the latitudinal difference is low – which is the most suited for the individual states mapping activity and uniformly distributes position and area errors across latitudes. The LCC has also been recommended by the ISRO-level Committee on Map Projections and Datum for future IRS Data Products (IRS Data Products Committee Report, 2001). 66.2.1. 2 Standard Parallel defined with a K=6 factor for each state 66.2.2. A Central Meridian definition and a Latitude for Origin
definition for each state – both together defining the origin of the coordinate system for the state
66.2.3. State-specific False Easting and false Northing to bring all coordinates for the state into positive real numbers.
66.2.4. NNRMS recommends 4 coordinate points of a “bounding box” that envelopes each state boundary – which mainly defines the boundling limits for the state framework and which is extended to cover a full 15’ X 15’ tile at the boundary.
66.3. Projection of Transverse Mercator (TM) for states where the latitudinal difference is high (greater than 6o) – which is the most suited for the individual states mapping activity and uniformly distributes position and area errors across latitudes. The LCC has also been recommended by the ISRO-level Committee on Map Projections and Datum for future IRS Data Products (Map Projections Committee Report, 2001). 66.3.1. NNRMS recommends 4 coordinate points of a “bounding box”
that envelopes each state boundary – which mainly defines the boundling limits for the state framework and which is extended to cover a full 15’ X 15’ tile at the boundary.
66.3.2. A Reference Meridian definition and Latitude for Origin definition for the state– both together defining the origin of the single coordinate system for the nation.
66.3.3. A Scale factor for the Projection
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 25
66.3.4. State-specific False Easting and false Northing to bring all
coordinates for the state into positive real numbers. 66.4. Projection for GIS database would be Geographic.
67. Studies have been conducted on projection error estimation for 1:10,000
scale maps using 1:50K NSF parameters and projection errors are seen to be within tolerance limits. Hence, 1:50K NSF can be used for 1:10,000 scale.
68. It is to be noted that mapping at 1:4000 and 1:2000 scale are generally project
specific and thus necessary correction factors may be determined and used on project basis. In order to hold high precision of 1:4000 and 1:2000 scale database, it is recommended to used high precision storage unit as against what is used for 1:50K or 1:10K.
69. FIGURE – 4.3 shows the details of the 1:50K NSF with the standard state
boundary template and relevant LCC parameters. 70. The parameters for the 1:50K State-level LCC and TM framework are given in
TABLE – 4.2 and 4.3 respectively. Evaluation of the state NSF and its area figures needs to be taken upon the standard SOI state template of 1:50K OSM.

4.4 GEOGRAPHICAL TIE- POINTS FOR NSF 71. The requirement of tie-points is for selection of scheme, which facilitates
unique identification number for every tie point all across Indian Territory. The suggested approach is on the basis of Latitude/ Longitude co-ordinates. The scheme proposes selection of multi-layer registration points as the Latitude-Longitude intersections as follows (and shown in FIGURE – 4.4): 71.1. Lat/Long Intersections up to 45 Second Interval, depending upon the
level of details, as the Registration/ Tie points. This will take care of the map elements at a variety of scales ranging from 1:250,000 to 1:2000 as envisaged under NNRMS standards.
71.2. Unique assignment of ID for each point all over India. There will be 12-digit identification number for each registration point so as to make it unique. The 12-digit scheme would be as follows:
• DDMMSSddmmss, where DDMMSS = latitude values for the tie point co-ordinates in degree, minute and seconds and ddmmss = Longitude values for the tie point co-ordinates in degree, minute and seconds
4.5 NSF CREATION UTILITY BY NNRMS
72. NNRMS would generate a software utility that will allow NNRMS user
community to generate their respective image, map and GIS design parameters and provide the template for the image, mapping and GIS activity. This software would utilise the NSF boundary templates and based on the NSF design provide an output coverage template (with proper boundaries, tie-points, registration-points, coordinate origins etc) for the user to adapt/utilise as a standard base framework and onto which user can add more content.
73. This would enable all user-generated outputs to conform to the same NSF
and conform to ingest to NRR very easily. This will also ensure that all references to the administrative characteristics of the country (area of nation, area of states, distances and angles between points etc) would be uniform and enable a vertical- and horizontal-seamlessness of the database in the Repository.
74. NNRMS would make this software tool available on its website
www.nnnrms.gov.in and will constantly update and maintain the NSF Tool on a regular basis.

basically unresolved areas in different states (state areas in other places and so on). These need to be resolved by SOI – from polygon point of view by tagging them with a State but there would be no change in Indian geographical area.
(B) In the SOI supplied template on 1:250K, there are 3 polygons near Bangladesh tagged as “Adjacent country” and these need to be resolved by SOI. The area under this category is very small.
Comparision with Census areas is provided for reference only and the fact that there are differences which are understood. This comparision does not attempt to portray accuracy/error of any area figure.

NNRMS Standards

NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 33
5. NNRMS REPOSITORY DESIGN STANDARDS
75. As has been mentioned earlier, the NNRMS Repository will have images,
thematic maps, GIS database and outputs/services. In the NNRMS Standards a total end-to-end process standardisation has been adopted. Thus, for the Repository to be successfully established and utilised, the images are basic inputs and must be generated and available as per defined standard. These images are used to generate thematic information – the Repository Content and thus the thematic maps also need to be as per defined standards. If the maps are as per standards, the organisation of the GIS database would be possible without difficulty and as per standards. If the GIS database is standardised, then extracting outputs and providing services will also be easily possible. Even if one element of this chain or process is non-standard then the down-stream process would also be non-standard.
76. Towards the NNRMS Standards, about 39 parameters (including basic and
quality parameters) have been identified for the different scales and the values (at 3-sigma limits) identified. The Standards parameters correspond to image, thematic maps, GIS database and outputs/deliverables.
77. The TABLE – 5.1 shows the NNRMS Standard parameters and their values.
The parameters have been defined based on the past Thematic Mapping and NRIS/GIS applications experience and are the most comprehensive set of parameters. The values for these parameters have been defined based on the past experience and the simulation exercises carried out to determine limits of precision required.
78. The parameters and values of the NNRMS Standards are recommendatory
and define the process – thus, they set tolerable limits of precision rather than a “logical” accept/reject criterion for the maps/GIS.
5.1 IMAGE STANDARDS
79. Images, either from satellites or aerial surveys, are the primary source of input
and the starting point for the NNRMS Repository. The images are used to generate the basic content of the NNRMS – the different thematic and cartographic quality maps.
80. 8 basic parameters are identified for the NNRMS Image Standards, as given
in TABLE – 5.1 and including:
80.1. Generic/Standard Resolution – the recommended generic resolution most suited for the particular scale application. This is the ideal requirement for the scale – but data/image may not always be available at that generic resolution. The generic resolution also indicates the application-requirements of resolution for the application (which could be used by Satellite designers to design imaging capability).
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 34
80.2. IRS Image Resolutions recommended. This is the most suited IRS
image resolution recommended for the particular scale applications. The resolution ranges from the 55m AWiFS to the 2.5m Cartosat-1 and through better resolutions from aerial data.
80.3. National Spatial Framework – defining the framework to be used for the images.
80.4. Projection for image outputs. This indicates what Map Projection is most suited for NNRMS and this is what needs to be applied for generating images by NRSA/NDC for NNRMS users. The Projection recommended are either LCC for 1:250k at National framework and LCC/TM for 1:50K at state framework. NRSA could have a category of Image Products – NNRMS Products those users can order and procure.
80.5. Datum for image products. The recommended datum for the Image Products is WGS-84.
80.6. Image Frames (geometrically corrected; important for seamlessness). The recommended size of framing images for the relevant scale – ranging from degree to smaller frames at larger scales.
80.7. Image Position (Planimetric) Accuracy – indicating the limits of Precision of position tolerable in the images (anything worse than this would be non-conformal to standard). This is taken as 0.5 mm of scale in m and thus ranges from 125m to 0.25 m for largest scales. This parameter can cascade into larger errors downstream at mapping and GIS database if stringency is not maintained for tolerable precision.
80.8. Band-to-Band Registration for XS data – indicating the tolerable registration accuracy for multi-spectral images. This parameter is important as it can impact the interpretability and classification of images – especially in the digital domain and result in errors of classification. The tolerable limit for this parameter is defined at 0.25 pixel in m and thus this parameter ranges form ~14m to ~0.1m at largest scales.
5.2 THEMATIC & CARTOGRAPHIC MAPPING STANDARDS
81. Thematic Maps are a result from the interpretation and analysis of the images,
either from satellites or aircrafts, and are the primary source of input for the GIS database of the NNRMS Repository. The stringency in the parameter values in the mapping is maintained to enable a good GIS establishment.
82. 11 basic parameters are identified for the NNRMS Thematic Map Standards,
as given in TABLE – 5.1 and including:
82.1. National Spatial Framework – defining the framework to be used for the mapping.
82.2. Minimum Map Frame size for incorporation to NRR. This defines the minimum frame-size for a map to be incorporatable into NRR – thus small area maps, not conforming to this frame-size, would not be candidates for NRR.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 35
82.3. Image Registration accuracy – defining the tolerable limits of registration of image to NSF (1:250K or 1:50K) and defines how accurately images match the framework and thus how the generated maps would register to the framework. This is defined at 0.5 pixel (RMS) in m and thus ranges from 125m to 0.5m at large scales.
82.4. Projection for Maps. This indicates what Map Projection is most suited for thematic maps and this is based on the images sued – which is either LCC for 1:250K at National framework and LCC/TM for 1:50K at state framework.
82.5. Datum for image products. The recommended datum for the Map generation is WGS-84.
82.6. Position (Planimetric) Accuracy – indicating the limits of Precision of position tolerable in the maps (anything worse than this would be non-conformal to standard). This is taken as 1 mm of scale in m and thus ranges from 250m to 1 m for largest scales. This parameter can cascade into larger errors downstream at GIS database if stringency is not maintained for tolerable precision (1mm of scale) in m
82.7. Minimum Mappable Unit (MMU) – defining the smallest size that would be mapped at that scale and is defined at 3 x 3 mm of scale in sq mts. This also means that features that are smaller than this size would generally not be mapped and would be acceptable for the Repository.
82.8. DEM Z-Spacing – mainly for DEM and defining the horizontal spacing at which elevation is sampled and determines the density of the DEM. This is defined at 1mm of scale in m.
82.9. DEM Z-Accuracy – again a DEM parameter and defining the tolerable accuracies in elevation and thus the resolution of the DEM. This is defined in units of metres.
82.10. Thematic Accuracy of Classification/Mapping – defining the accuracy of mapping – both classification accuracy and mapping accuracy. This defined in %age and probability.
82.11. Map Formats – defining in what formats Maps would be generated and acceptable to Repository. This is a mainly digital format but in exceptional cases scanned paper would also be incorporated.
5.3 GIS DATABASE STANDARD
83. GIS database are the core of the Repository and result from the digitalisation
and ingest of thematic maps, either from satellites or aircrafts, into the GIS database of the NNRMS Repository. The stringency in the parameter values in the images and mapping have considerable bearing on the precision achievable at GIS database end. Further, the accuracies of the outputs/services from the NNRMS would depend upon the GIS database Standards.
84. 13 basic parameters are identified for the NNRMS GISDB Standards, as
given in TABLE – 5.1 and including:
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 36
84.1. National Spatial Framework – defining the framework to be used for
the GIS database. 84.2. Tie-Point Intervals for Spatial Framework – defining the intervals for
tie-points – this is generally a part of the NSF itself (and if the NNRMS Software is used then the Framework-tie points is linked).
84.3. Coordinate units – defining the coordinate values in the GIS database. As the GISDB will have Geographic coordinates, the precision is maintained at DDMMSS (degree, minutes, seconds).
84.4. Projection for GISDB. This indicates what Map Projection is most suited for the GIS Database and this is being based on Geographic Coordinate system.
84.5. Datum for image products. The recommended datum for the GIS DB is WGS-84.
84.6. Coordinate Precision defining either Single Precision or Double Precision for storage in the GIS.
84.7. Minimum Frame size – defining the minimum limits of tiling in the GIS database and the framing achieved.
84.8. GIS DB Tic Registration Accuracy - defining the tolerable precision of Tic-Points Registration – while thematic map is incorporated into the GISDB. This determines the precision with which features “locate’ in feature-space of the NSF and is defined as 0.25mm of scale in m
84.9. Position (Planimetric) Accuracy – indicating the limits of Precision of position tolerable in the GISDB (anything worse than this would be non-conformal to standard). Thus, this determines the limits of feature movement tolerance during GIS operations and determines the rigidity of precision in the GISDB. This is taken as 1 mm of scale in m and thus ranges from 250m to 1 m for largest scales. This parameter can impact into larger errors downstream at Output/Service if stringency is not maintained for tolerable precision (1mm of scale) in m
84.10. Coordinate Movement Tolerance (CMT) – linked to Position accuracy and defines the limits upto which features in the GISDB can move during various GIS operations – thus, impacting position. This is defined as 0.125mm of scale in m and has to be orders better than Position Accuracy tolerable limits.
84.11. Weed Tolerance (WT) – again linked to position precision and indicates the minimum distance between 2 adjacent vertices would collapse and get weeded out. This could impact shape and also position. This is defined as 0.125mm of scale in m
84.12. Sliver Polygon Tolerance (SPT) – defines the limits for removal of small sliver polygons generated in GIS during various GIS operations. This is generally related to MMU and is defined at orders better than MMU limits. The maximum limit for SPT is defined as that it has to be less than MMU in m, so that MMU is conformed.
84.13. Grid Size (for Image/Raster/DEM Layers) – defining at what pixel-size or grid-size raster layers 9images, DEM etc) would be maintained in NRR. This is generally related to scale and is maintained at orders better than MMU too. It is defined as 0.5mm of scale in m
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 37
5.4 OUTPUT STANDARDS 85. The GIS database would be the core for NNRMS Outputs and Services. 7
basic parameters are identified for the NNRMS Output/Service Standards, as given in TABLE – 5.1 and including:
85.1. Output Formats – basically digital/analog/web outputs and this would
be a filter as defined by National Map Policy 85.2. Output Framework – which are user-defined. A large number of
frameworks - geographic, administrative, cadastral, SOI tiles referenced are possible because of the vertical and horizontal seamlessness of the GISDB.
85.3. Output Media – is user-defined and could include CD, DVD, ftp, paper-print etc.
85.4. Output Projection – as the GISDB is in Geographic coordinate system, the output projection could be user-defined and a wide variety of projections can be standardised.
85.5. Output Datum – limited by the GISDB datum – WGS 84. 85.6. Output Formats – defining the exchange format – either compliant to
a GIS format or a free-form open source formats. 85.7. Output Symbology – any layer-specific symbology to be used for the
layer is left to be standardised by the respective projects (NRC, LSM) and in the version updates this can be formalised.
5.5 QUALITY STANDARDS
86. As the NNRMS Standards have been developed as a process standard –
involving various elements, the Quality Certification (QC) of the NNRMS products would be a function of the Quality Assurance (QA) at the individual process level and the final Quality Evaluation of the product that would be given to the user. The NNRMS Metadata would have all the Quality Assurance and Certification parameters – where the concept will be to integrate the individual Quality Evaluation parameters for the total process.
87. Thus, it is expected that each process of the NNRMS activity would generate
a process Quality Assurance report – which would evaluate all the parameters of the Standards at that process level. For example, the image generation process would evaluate 8 standard parameters; the mapping process would evaluate 11 standard parameters; the GIS database process would evaluate 13 standard parameters and the Output/Service process would evaluate 7 standard parameters.
88. Each of these process standard parameters would be evaluated and archived
in the Metadata database. The evaluation would measure the level of compliance to the process standard parameter values and deviation/variation, if any.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 38
89. A final Quality Certification before delivery of the NNRMS product would be conducted to certify the compliance of the product to the NNRMS Standards and also identify deviation/variation, if any.
90. The QC of the final deliverable product would, thus include, an assessment of
the individual QA reports and a separate evaluation of the following parameters:
90.1. National Spatial Framework Accuracy – A measure of the tolerable
limits for deviation in area of standard administrative units (national area, state area, district area, taluk area, etc) – as against the standard tables of the NSF administrative unit values.
90.2. Position (Planimetric) Accuracy – A measure of the location accuracy of the product – which should be better than (Or equal to) 1.5 mm (this is a 1.5 times of the nominal position accuracy of the image, thematic map and GIS database and assuming that the total process would not degrade the position by more than 0.5 mm of the scale) in metres.
90.3. Accuracy of Classification/Mapping – A measure of the classification accuracy as evaluated by the mapping process and reproduced from the Metadata.
90.4. Minimum Map Unit (MMU) – A measure of the smallest unit in the database output – which will be Not Less than (Or Equal to) (3 x 3 mm of scale) in sq mts
90.5. Scale Distortion Factor for Analog Outputs only – A measure of the scale distortion in the final product which should be Better than (Or Equal to) the specified limits.
91. The procedure of the QC for the above 5 parameters would be to a random
sample check on the final product and document the parameter values for the user.

6. NNRMS CONTENT STANDARD 92. NNRMS is an inter-agency programme and content would get generated by
various agencies participating in NNRMS. 93. As far as content is concerned, both images and maps are visualized to be a
part of the Repository. At a broad level, a tentative assessment of the NNRMS Repository content (type of spatial information) has been done and this includes:
PAST PROJECTS 93.1. Mapping and GIS Databases from past Projects. Only those Heritage
projects, which are in GIS Format AND conform to a level of standardization AND have a Quality Standard would qualify to be included in NRR. However, all Heritage project maps/layers can be a part of NNRMS Metadata. Heritage GIS database identified are - Wasteland; RGNDWM; Wetland; Biodiversity; Coastal Landuse; Wasteland Monitoring; Cropping System Analysis; National GIS layers etc.
93.2. NRIS databases in 19 UT/States (Mizoram, Sikkim, Goa, Pondicherry, Andaman & Nicobar, Daman & Diu, Lakshadweep, Orissa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan)
93.3. Chhattisgarh State database
FORTHCOMING PROJECTS
93.4. Natural Resources Census (NRC) as an inter-agency project – 7 layers on 1:50K
93.4.1. Landuse/Landcover assessment on 1:50K 93.4.2. Soils with NBSSLUP and AISLUS 93.4.3. Land Degradation with AISLUS 93.4.4. Geomorphology with GSI 93.4.5. Wetlands with MoEnF 93.4.6. Vegetation with FSI 93.4.7. Snow & Glacier with MoEnF
93.5. National Landuse/Landcover Annual assessment - 1:250K Landuse (AWiFS)
93.6. NUIS with Ministry of Urban Development (MUD) at 2 levels (the third level at 1:1000 will extend from 1:2000 Standard/Content). A draft NUIS Design Standard has also been worked out by the NNRMS Standing Committee on Urban management (NNRMS, 2004).
93.7. LSM with Survey of India (SOI) (NNRMS, 2005)
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 46
93.8. Cadastral Referencing Database (Maharashtra; Karnataka; Gujarat; Chattisgarh) with various State Survey Settlement and Land Records departments
93.9. DMS – Flood Inundation; Infrastructure etc with MHA 93.10. Selective Images from IRS (one seamless Mosaic at 1:50K and
sampled large scale) 93.11. Any other projects done from now onwards. Henceforth, any new
project that is undertaken will either use data from NRR or create NEW CONTENT that can be a part of NRR.
SOI MAP LAYERS
93.12. SOI Base Map Layers – mainly adapted from SOI and including
boundaries, roads, rail-lines, drainage etc
OTHER PROJECTS FROM NNRMS AGENCIES 93.13. Any other projects undertaken by other NNRMS agencies (either past
projects or future projects) could also be considered as content and included in the repository.
94. The detailed assessment of NNRMS Content is shown in TABLE – 6.1 (this
table is only an indicative list but is illustrative of the type of content). The content is categorised for the various scales and includes a total of ~87 layers, as of now – out of which 16 layers conform to 1:250K standards; 53 layers conform to 1:50K standards; 14 layers conform to 1:10K standards and 4 layers conform to 1:2K standards.
95. The NNRMS content includes the following categories:
95.1. Base layers refers to the basic map layers that are mainly utilized to reference RS images and are mainly derived from SOI topographical maps, FSI Forest maps and other sources. There are a total of 18 Base Layers as of now.
95.2. Thematic and Cartographic layers refer to those that are generated from the interpretation/analysis of RS images and are thematic maps from NNRMS. Most of these layers would get generated from NRR projects and future NNRMS activities. There are a total of 27 Thematic Layers as of now.
95.3. Image layers refer to layers in image formats (pixel, scan-line) and denoting either standard images, classified raster outputs or other Value-Added images. There are a total of 6 Image Layers as of now.
95.4. Heritage layers refers to the already completed projects maps/layers - which fulfils NRR criterion of data that exists in digital GIS format AND GIS Data that conforms to published standards (even of projects) AND GIS data that forms a fairly large area coverage i.e. a state or more. There are a total of 36 Heritage Layers as of now.
96. The NNRMS Content of 87 layers have been standardised for naming
conventions, layer type, layer-code and layer-description.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 47
97. Naming Convention for layers are also standardised so that the name will
include an easily understandable typology and this can include:
97.1. A short acronym of the Layer (say, “Luse” for Landuse/Landcover or “Geom” for Geomorphology or “Soil” for Soil layer and so on)
97.2. Scale of Layer as 250k, 50k, 10k, 4k and 2k (as same layer may be occurring at different scales)
97.3. Source of Project from which the layer is obtained (say, “NRC” for NRC layers, “NRIS” etc – same layer may also be obtained from different project sources)
97.4. Year of Images used for generating the layers 98. TABLE – 6.2 lists the standardised layer information for the NNRMS content. 99. For each layer, the standards of code and description are given in TABLE –
6.2.1 to TABLE 6.2.34 and in the Annexure III TABLE 1 to 28. The standards tables depict the coding scheme and description and for layers that they are applicable (more than 1 layer may adopt the same coding scheme; for example, rail layers at various scales and sources may be adopting.
100. The above scheme of Content Standards can be easily adapted for additional
and future layers that would be a part of NNRMS (and are not visualised, as of now).
6.1 NNRMS CONTENT CLASSIFICATION & CODING
SYSTEM 101. Standardisation of Content categories is extremely important. There are 2
ways at addressing the content categories:
101.1. Ideally, it would be good if there is a single “all-encompassing” classification for all layers and these are adopted by all users as a Standard Classification system. Thus, there could be a Standard Landuse classification – which could be adopted, in totality or in part, for national landuse inventory or for urban applications or for any other applications. This would enable a common understanding of content and would be most suited from a GIS database point of view. However, this requires generation of a national consensus of all agencies, a good effort at harmonising content requirement of applications (content categories are related to applications and end use and these will have to be standardised), standardisation of a hierarchy across scales and so on. This process is a long-drawn process and would be an “arduous task” of achieving and would take a lot of time.
101.2. Practically, enable content layers to be standardised and recommend
the most practical categories in a hierarchy of scales (say, Landuse at 1:50K or Geomorphology at 1:50K and so on). Using this as a starting point, allow flexibility for improvement/modifications – leading to a step-
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 48
by-step national content category standardisation. This process is easy and evolutionary and would be in tune with the “consensus” generation process. This approach is adopted for NNRMS Content Standards.
102. The Content Classification needs to be seen from the perspective of the
NNRMS Content categories that are included, as follows:
102.1. Base Layers Content Classification. The classification system for Base Layers (mainly adapted from published sources) is determined by the class categories as defined by the respective agencies.
102.2. Heritage Layers Content Classification. The classifications for these
heritage layers have been defined in the past projects and maybe with RS datasets that were different and processes that were different. However, the content categories can be retained as they are with no effort at “rationalising” the content.
102.3. Thematic Layers of NNRMS. These are layers that are defined for the
repository and most would get generated fresh using the NNRMS “process” Standards. The content categories for these layers should reflect the present day state-of-art and could be adopted by different users.
6.2 NNRMS CONTENT THESARUS
103. It is important to have a NNRMS Content Thesaurus – that defines the class-
categories and enables a common understanding and also links the categories to the purpose and use of the classification system. The classification system must address the hierarchy and must be “inclusive” of all possible categories. Some important parameters that could be included in the Content Thesaurus are on applicability, repeatability of the classification, suitability and flexibility of the classification system to add/include/modify class categories. (CW Manual, 1991).
104. The NNRMS Content Thesaurus must be generated for all NNRMS layers
and it is recommended the respective Responsible Agency for the layer would generate the Content Thesaurus and enable an endorsement through the Standards Committee. For example, the Landuse Content Thesaurus for NRC could be generated by NRC Project/NRSA; the Glacier layer Thesaurus could be generated by SAC and so on. The NNRMS Content Thesaurus could also be widely circulated to all users.
6.3 NNRMS SERVICES/APPLICATIONS
105. The NNRMS Repository can serve to enable a variety of value-added
application Services and outputs that can serve the ultimate goals of NNRMS. Derived layers refer to possible integrated derivatives of the Primary Layers – which conform to a specific possible user-need or NNRMS requirements.The NNRMS Application Services could be a process of “integration” and further
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 49
analysis of the repository layers – in a particular modelling function to derive specific user outputs.
106. The NNRMS Applications could include derivatives of Landuse Change using
a Change Detection model; a Land Capability assessment using a Land Capability Model; an Urban Suitability derivative using a Suitability model; derivatives of Slopes and Aspect using a DEM and so on.
107. A variety of Derived Layers are possible and it is recommended that the
definition and standardisation of the application process for services could be in a separate NNRMS SERVICES/APPLICATIONS STANDARD.
6.4 REPOSITORY CODING UTILITY FOR NNRMS CONTENT 108. NNRMS would generate a software utility that will allow NNRMS user
community to adopt standardised description and coding as per the Content Standard. This utility (compatible to GIS and Image Analysis) would allow users to select the layer, class category (through drop-down combo box) and automatically record the code for the layer and category in the database. This would eliminate the entry of the texts and codes by users – thus bringing in uniformity and standardisation of the database/mapping.
109. NNRMS would make this software tool available on its website
www.nnnrms.gov.in and will constantly update and maintain the Content Coding Utiity on a regular basis.

Remarks: • Layer Name string is derived by a standardized approach – including a short-version of the content layer (say Luse), scale (say, 250K), project source
(say, NRC) and the year of the image used (say, 2002), as applicable. • Base layers refer to the basic map layers that are mainly utilized to reference RS images and are mainly derived from SOI topographical maps, FSI
Forest maps and other sources. • Thematic and Cartographic layers refer to those that are generated from the interpretation/analysis of RS images and are thematic maps from
NNRMS agencies. Most of these layers would get generated from NRR projects and future NNRMS activities. • Image layers refer to layers in image formats (pixel, scan-line) and denoting, either standard images, classified raster outputs or other value-added
images. • Heritage layers refers to the already completed projects maps/layers - which fulfills NRR criterion of data that exists in digital GIS format AND GIS
Data that conforms to published standards (even of projects) AND GIS data that forms a fairly large area coverage i.e. a state or more.

TABLE 6.2.26: ATTRIBUTE TABLE FOR SOILS Applicable for layers: Soil50NRISYear
Soil50NRCYear A single soil unit in a map is basically a combination of various soil series. These are reflected as combination with one major soil series (in SOILCODE item) and maximum of two associated soil series (ASS1CODE & ASS2CODE). So each polygon in the soil map is represented by a mapping unit (SMUCODE), which has the unique combination set of few soil series. This mapping unit is named as Soil Mapping Unit or SMUCODE. Coding scheme for soil layer (SOIL.LUT): AA- BB- CC- DD- EE-FF-GG-HH (16 digits) Level Level-1 Level-2 Level-3 Detail Sub Group Family Series Scale 1:1 Million 1:250,000 1:50,000 Code AABBCCDD AABBCCDDEEFFGG AABBCCDDEEFFGGHH AA: Order (Two Digits) BB: Sub order (Two Digits) CC: Great group (Two Digits) DD: Sub group (Two Digits) The soil layer will be linked with three tables – SOIL.LUT, SOIL.TAX & SOI.DAT. SOIL.LUT elaborates the soil series linked with the soil-mapping units along with its description. This table contains the SMUCODE and the soil codes – SOILCODE, ASS1CODE & ASS2CODE along with the brief taxonomical description of the series. All codes (SOILCODE, ASS1CODE & ASS2CODE) are 16 digit soil series codes. To generate this LUT file, one should take care to include the entire occurrence along with their associated categories. For example, if the SMUCODE is ‘018’ and has the major soil category as ‘0101010101010101’ (actual soil code is to be generated by combination of various parameters) and the associated soil are ‘0202020202020202’ and ‘0303030303030303’, then the SOILCODE should hold ‘0101010101010101’ and the other two codes will go respectively, in ASS1CODE & ASS2CODE. The code items should be kept ‘blank’, in case the associations are not available.

The SOIL.DAT table contains the profile description (horizon wise) for each soil code. In this table, soil physical and chemical properties will be defined for individual soil horizon, which are described in the soil analysis report. The table is linked to the soil layer using the SOILCODE as key field in SOIL.TAX.
Note: • Each unique soil is considered as soil series. • The soil polygon is generally a combination of few series and will have a unique soil-
mapping unit based on the combination. • The SOIL.LUT attribute table should hold the code of dominant soil in the SOILCODE and
the subsequent associated soils in the ASS1CODE and ASS2CODE, respectively. The unique map unit (SMUCODE) are the polygon code against which the symbols are specified.
• In SOIL.LUT the link item is SMUCODE and the other codes are as description and
reference. In the soil and association description full taxonomical description should be given.
• The SOILCODE, ASS1CODE and ASS2CODE are all soil series codes and of the same
structure type (text type with 16 width). The code generated with the unique combination of such codes is given in SMUCODE item. The codes in SOILCODE, ASS1CODE and ASS2CODE are to be entered in SOILCODE in SOIL.TAX and SOIL.DAT. i.e. If the ASS1CODE of a particular soil mapping unit is 1105050912050914, then this should be treated as a unique soil and the code has to be entered in SOILCODE of SOIL.TAX and SOIL.DAT files with all its taxonomical and physio-chemical description respectively.
• Each unique soil series code should be entered once only in SOIL.TAX and ‘n’ times
(depending on the ‘n’ number of profile horizon) in SOIL_DAT. SOIL.DAT will hold the physio-chemical information for each horizon of the soil series. Thus, the table SOIL.DAT holds multi-record for each soil series.
• The unique soil code is a 16-digit code AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF-GG-HH. Where AA- is the
order, BB- is the sub order, CC- is the grade group and DD is the sub group. The actual

codes can be referred from table. The other digits EE, FF & GG are given in table Soil.Tax above. The digit HH is the benchmark/local series number in chronological order (01-99).

7. NNRMS METADATA STANDARDS 110. NNRMS has already defined the spatial Metadata Standards document and
this Chapter contains the extracts from the document (NSDI Metadata, 2003). 111. A major difficulty in the spatial data community is the lack of information that
helps prospective users to determine what data exist, the fitness of existing data for planned applications, and the conditions for accessing existing data, and to transfer data to a user's system. Today’s large distributed geographic databases require some form of cataloguing in order to document the types of data held by the database, the entities and attributes, the spatial reference and location, the quality and many other descriptive elements that makes the database unique from others and provide the information that determines its fitness for use.
112. The objectives of the NNRMS Metadata Standard are to provide a common
set of terminology and definitions for the documentation of digital spatial data. The standard establishes the names of data elements to be used for these purposes, the definitions of these and data elements, and information about the values that are to be provided for the data elements.
113. The Metadata standard specifies the following elements needed to support
establishment of a NNRMS Metadata and also for major uses of metadata:
113.1. to maintain a catalogue of a NNRMS Agencies spatial data holdings 113.2. to provide information to users of the holdings and catalog of
information 113.3. to provide information needed to process and investigate spatial data
holdings for access by users 113.4. to standardize the exchange format of the spatial data.
114. The standard defines the following information required by a prospective user:
114.1. to determine the availability of a set of spatial data, 114.2. to determine the compliance of a set of spatial data for an intended
use, 114.3. to determine the means to access the set of geo-spatial data, and 114.4. to access and obtain spatial data successfully.
115. NNRMS metadata essentially provides three key functions – provision of an
overview of NNRMS data content, ability to compare multiple geographic data sets, collections, or series, and thirdly, provision of detailed descriptions of individual data items. First and foremost requirement for NRDB would be the development of a Metadata – a process by which the information of the available spatial data is organised into a systematic database so that users can locate and find the data that they require.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 128
116. The fundamental aspects of the NNRMS Metadata will be:
116.1. Consisting of Framework Spatial data – map and image data from different NNRMS agencies. This could be at different scales – 1:250K to 1:2K through 1:50K, 1:10K and 1:4K.
116.2. Consisting of Non-Framework Spatial data, cadastral data and other data like attribute information, ground survey data, reports etc.,
116.3. The Metadata format must be GIS independent but will be compliant to most (if not all) GIS packages. Thus the NNRMS database engine has to be an independent one.
116.4. Web-enabled so that on-line access on www.nnrms.gov.in is possible. This has opened up information about spatial data availability.
7.1 NNRMS PORTAL SERVERS
117. NNRMS had launched the NNRMS portal with the metadata of the data from
NRIS and RGNDWM projects. It has catalogued all spatial data available on 1:50K scale. Though, this takes care of the fundamental design and development, there is a need to consider data from other scales also. NNRMS has also developed a utility to populate the metadata either directly or offline.
118. The NNRMS Portal would be a network of Servers that, in unison, would
enable the successful performance of NNRMS goals and objectives. The following 4 Servers are envisaged:
118.1. NNRMS Web-Server: The NNRMS Web-Server would be the front-end
interface to NNRMS Portal. The Web-Server would provide the open access to NNRMS information and “secure” entry to NNRMS Metadata and NNRMSAgency Servers. The DNS for the NNRMS web-server would be www.nnrms.gov.in
118.2. NNRMS Metadata Server: The NNRMS Metadata Server would
maintain the NNRMS metadata content. At a higher level, it would be linked to NNRMS Web-Server and lower-level it would be linked through NNRMS Server Catalogue to NNRMSAgency Servers.
118.3. NNRMS Agency Server: The NNRMSAgency Server (or Servers)
would hold the actual spatial data of the NNRMSAgency. 118.4. NNRMS Application Server: This Server would contain the Application
shells for specific queries and themes.
7.2 NNRMS METADATA DEFINITIONS / TERMS
119. The standard specifies the information content for a set of digital geo-spatial data. The standard establishes a common set of terminology and definitions for concepts related to NNRMS Metadata, as follows :
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 129
NNRMS means the National Natural Resources Management System NNRMS Agency means any DOS Center or other agencies, which is part of the NNRMS or any other organization that has commits the spatial data holdings to NNRMS NNRMSMetadata means the information about spatial data available in NNRMS
MetadataName means the Name of a NNRMS Metadata Table that specifies the schema of the table MetadataPurpose means the purpose for which the Metadata Table is organised MetadataGenerator means the person who generates and populates the Metadata table – either through a standard NNRMS process or through the NNRMSAgency Metadata Form which describes the form for entry of the Metadata UpdateCondition which describes how any update would happen to the metadata. ModifyCondition which covers the mechanism for modification that happens to this metadata table MetadataLocale means the place where the Metadata would reside – either on the NNRMS.GOV.IN server or at the NNRMSAgency server MetadataStructure means the listing of the schema of the Metadata Table – containing a set of Metadata elements
Element means the individual parameter-types of the Metadata Table – together forming a Table ElementType means the type of the element – whether it is a Key, unique or individual. Key elements are used to link Metadata Tables to other tables in extracting information DataType means the type of data defining the Element – whether it is "Integer", "Real", "Text", "Date", “Currency” or "Time" DataSize means the definition of allotted size for the Element SchemaDescription means the pre-defined set of valid values that can be assigned or allotted to the Element Pointer means a pointer to a defined URL for further access. URLs will be defined as service : // hostname : port / path / filename Coordinates will always be defined as decimal fraction of degrees Dates will always be defined as Days -Months-Year in dd/mm/yyyy format Time will always be 24-hours time of hh:mm:ss of Indian Standard Time Network Locator values for file names, network addresses for computer systems, and related services should follow the Uniform Resource Locator convention of the Internet when possible.
120. The entity relation between the various tables is given in FIGURE – 7.1 followed by the detail of various tables of metadata content in TABLE – 7.1.

Antariksh Bhavan
New BEL Road Bangalore – 560 094
September 24, 2004
OFFICE ORDER As part of the National Natural Resources Management System (NNRMS), satellite and aerial images are utilized to generate a variety of spatial information sets in support of decision making and natural resources management for different agencies. Until now a large amount of thematic map information has been generated under various application projects using the IRS images and aerial data. In the 10th plan, one of the major elements of NNRMS is to establish a national Natural Resources Repository (NRR) – wherein spatial datasets at scales of 1:250,000, 1:50,000, 1:10,000 and larger, derived from aerial and satellite images, would be archived in a systematic Natural Resources Data Base (NRDB). Similarly, the Village Resources Centre (VRC) would also be generating variety of localized spatial databases to support the grass-root level. The NRR and VRC would include images, thematic maps, cadastral maps and other tabular datasets and would be organised as systematic Geographical Information System (GIS) databases. One of the important requirements for the NNRMS-NRR is to adopt standards that enable uniformity and flexibility in mapping and GIS database organisation. Earlier, in 1998, the NNRMS had defined and adopted the “NRIS Standards”, the first GIS standardization in the country, wherein the GIS design and content standardization for the NRIS project had been optimally defined for 1:50,000 scales. Over the years, the NRIS standards have served the requirements of GIS databases and have emerged as the de-facto national guideline standards for GIS databases. Similarly, many NNRMS projects have updated these standards and adopted them for various projects. The NRIS standards need to be now enhanced and updated to incorporate variety of improvements and changes in image resolutions, mapping scales, spatial frameworks, datum and projection parameters, content definition and schematics, GIS designing and quality assessment methods. There is also a need to bring in uniformity in the standards adoption for national projects and position a national standardization process through the NNRMS. On these lines, NNRMS has taken the lead to define the national Metadata Standards – which now forms the base for NNRMS-NRR Metadata and is also being adopted at the national level by all mapping agencies as part of the spatial data infrastructure. Considering the above and to define a new set of NNRMS Standards, the following Task Team is identified: • Shri AR Dasgupta, Deputy Director, SITAA, SAC Chairman • Dr PS Roy, Deputy Director (RS&GIS), NRSA Alt. Chairman • Shri G Hanumantha Rao, Scientist ‘F’, Ag. & Soils, NRSA Member

parameters for various scales. • Spatial data accuracy parameters for maps and GIS database specifications at
different scales • Specify GIS design parameters for various levels of GIS databases. • Document content schema and codification schemes for the different layers at
different scales of information. • Quality Standards for maps and GIS. The evaluation methodologies for Quality
Standards will also be defined. • Recommend procedures and methods for Standards transformation (from earlier
versions), Standards verification and compliance testing at different levels. • NNRMS Standards Updation procedures with details of mechanisms for updating
and improving the standard definition over time so that the standards are up-to-date. The Task Team may invite any other person from ISRO/DOS, as required. The Task Team will prepare the NNRMS Standards document and submit the same by November 30, 2004. It is proposed to present this to the Planning Committee, NNRMS (PC-NNRMS) at an appropriate time.

ANNEXURE-IV: GUIDELINES FOR MAPPING ACTIVITIES
This Annexure of the standard document aims at providing guidelines to prepare thematic maps obtained remote sensing platforms. Thematic information extraction from remote sensing data is possible either by visual interpretation of remote sensing images in analog form or on-screen digitization or digital analysis. Major steps involved in data preparation for thematic mapping are as follows: Data selection:
• Selection of suitable remote sensing data compatible with the scale and level of mapping as given in this document (Table 8);
• Selection of remote sensing data, optimum for a specific theme; for example, in case of agriculture, identify the suitable time window for mapping different crops in a given area based a study of the crop calendar. Similarly, for mapping double cropped area, it is necessary to use two season (kharif, jaid and/or rabi) data;
• Use of optimum number of multispectral channels to avoid redundancy and efficiently manage the computing resources.
Data Preparation:
• Once the data is selected for analysis (visual or digital), the data is geometrically corrected and projected as recommended in the this document (TABLE – 5.1);
• Calibration of satellite is an important step to avoid discrepancies due to differences in sensor responses, atmospheric conditions, changes in illumination and viewing configurations and seasonal differences; good relative calibration would be sufficient for data acquired by the same sensor over a period of reasonable time in change detection studies. However, absolute calibration is essential if data from different sensors were used and parameter retrievals are involved;
• If the satellite data pertaining to the study area falls in more than one image frame, seamless mosaicking should be carried out with radiometric normalization; selection of data acquired from different paths needs to be as close as possible in terms of time period;
• Base map needs to be prepared from the toposheet of corresponding scale depicting the roads, railway lines, settlements etc., and draw administrative boundaries viz., states, districts, taluka;
• Suitable legend, compatible with the scale and level of mapping needs to be used as per standards.
Ancillary data:
• Information extraction and theme contents & quality are generally enhanced depending on the availability and usage of ancillary data for the study area. These data in map form, may be available at different levels / scales and it is
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 184
desirable to use this information at scales compatible with the remote sensing data being used. Spatial data like topo-sheets, cadastral maps, published geological/geomorphology maps, soil maps, elevation/contours etc., from authentic sources and the attribute data from various government and non-government agencies shall be used with due acknowledgement. However, it is to be noted that accuracy and reliability of such ancillary data will have its influence on the accuracy of information derived using remote sensing data; necessary discretion needs to be exercised by the experienced analyst in this regard.
Data Analysis:
• Field visit for ground truth collection needs to be carried out based on suitable
sampling plan, accounting for all variations in the study area. Depending on the heterogeneity of the area, number of sample sites may be decided. However, 10% of the area is the recommended norm;
• It should be ensured that the theme expert who has collected ground truth information is the one who prepares the map by visual analysis and has sufficient experience in the interpretation of remote sensing data;
• Unit delineation (for visual interpretation or onscreen digitisation) shall confirm to minimum mappable unit (MMU) as per standards and makes use of all interpretation keys viz., tone/colour, texture, size, shape, pattern, association, shadow etc.;
• Classification of the data should be mutually exclusive (map units or pixel assigned to a specific class with no ambiguity) and exhaustive (all pixels/ map units are labelled);
• In case of digital analysis of data, classification approach may be based on total area enumeration (if the area is not very large and relatively homogeneous and spatial distribution of various classes need to be pictorially represented in a map form) or based on sampling approach (suitable when the area is large & highly heterogeneous and class statistics are the desired outputs);
• Classification technique may be supervised or unsupervised or hybrid or rule based; in case of supervised classification :
o Specify sufficient number of training area pixels for each of the classes;
a minimum of 20-25 pixels is the norm; sufficient care needs to be taken such that within class variability is accounted for while defining the training areas;
o Purity of training areas may be ascertained by class separability analysis using known measures of similarity/separability. These training areas may be purified/redefined or split/merged to account for inter as well as intra class variability, if necessary;
o Identify the optimum set of spectral channels for digital classification by eliminating the redundancy among the bands to save management resources;
o Image classification may be carried out using known per pixel (ML, ANN) or segment based (Nearest Neighbour, fuzzy);
o In case of unsupervised classification necessary regrouping and labelling of the clusters formed should be carried out by the analyst
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 185
based on ground truth; popular among these techniques are k-means clustering, ISODATA (split – merge) clustering;
o In case of rule based classification approach, necessary inputs for single or multi-date data sets need to be specified for each of the classes and necessary decision rules be formed (ex. See5).
Section 1.01 Post image classification analysis • Often output of a per pixel classifier is noisy with too many isolated pixels
belonging to different classes; To aid in further analysis of data for deriving class boundaries, smoothing of the data may be carried out by majority filter;
• Accuracy of classification of remote sensing image may be computed using confusion matrix and kappa measure; input for classification accuracy may be provided with an independent set of training (or randomly chosen pixels) areas based on ground truth information collected at pre or post image classification stage;
• Area statistics for each of the classes may be generated for the entire study area or for each of the desired administrative boundaries;
• Map composition with details such as legend, northing, latitude/longitude graticules, map scale along with projection details may be carried out for outputs in analog or digital form for further use by the Users;
• For further analysis in GIS environment, each of the classes may vectorised and respective layers generated.
Section 1.02 Data quality check • Map scale and its compatibility with respect to the expected information
content (level) and suitability of spatial resolution and multispectral remote sensing data used should be as per standards (Table 8);
• Legend content and exhaustiveness has to meet the specified guidelines at a given scale; Legend symbolization will be as per the mapping conventions;
• Classification system adopted should commensurate with the scale of mapping. The standard document provides guidelines for seven thematic layers conceived under NRR;
• Map accuracy should be verified in terms of its content and purity, at least for 10% of the area;
• Edge matching different map sheets covering the study area should be verified in all aspects;
• Map symbols and reference shall be as defined in the scheme; colouring scheme will be uniform and as per the guidelines;
• Thematic accuracy shall be 90% in cover categories and 75% in earth science (geological/geomorphologic features) categories;
• Meta data should be provided giving the details of the report and the maps viz., study area, scale, projection, classification systems, linkages.
These are only broad guidelines to prepare thematic maps.

ANNEXURE-V: GUIDELINES FOR PROCESS OF GIS DATABASE CREATION
The following guidelines are listed for defining process of GIS database creation: • The GIS databases should adhere to the NNRMS design standards vis-à-vis
spatial framework, content legends and the quality standards. • Appropriated data model(s) should be adopted and detailed database schema
should be worked in order to:
o Encapsulate the guidelines given in NNRMS standards document o Support the data services and application goals of NRR.
• The data model and database schema can be worked out by the NRDB project in consultation with various feeder projects, reviewed and approved by NRR-MC for adoption by all the projects.
• All the projects, creating GIS databases, should adopt this schema for
creating the databases at their end. • Based on this schema, the detailed steps for creating the GIS databases
should be enlisted and adopted by the projects/ agencies.

ANNEXURE-VI: GUIDELINES FOR PORTING GIS DATABASE INTO NRR
The following guidelines are listed for porting any NNRMS data/products into NRR: • Any ingest will always be in digital format. • Conformity to NNRMS Content layers. If the layer is not listed then it has to be
incorporated into Standard and then ported to the Repository. • Conformity to Thematic mapping Standards. A detailed QA report from the
mapping team and a sample-based QC evaluation report from the Mapping-QC team would be assessed for conformance to NNMRS Image and Thematic Mapping Standards. This would go into the NNRMS Metadata appropriately.
• Conformity to codes and description of layer in NNRMS Standard formats • Conformity to the GIS database specifications vis-à-vis NNRMS NSF • Conformity to the data model and database schema, to be subsequently
worked out and defined by NNRMS NRDB project. • Incorporation of map into NNRMS Metadata • Ingest of GIS layer into Repository. • Symbology checks (based on symbology standards to be worked out and
released in subsequent versions of NNRMS Standards) and ingest to Repository
• QA and QC Report at GISDB level – as per NNRMS Quality Standards • Final clearance for Operational Access on Repository.

GLOSSARY
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 193
GLOSSARY 3-sigma
A measure of confidence of a term and its value in terms of probability. 3-sigma means that 99% of the times the measured value conforms to the specified value.
Accuracy The closeness of results of observations, computations or estimates to the true values or the values accepted as being true. Higher accuracy means the reliability of the data/information is good.
Aggregation Data aggregation is a process in which information is presented/expressed in a summary form. In the context of NNRMS, Aggregation will mean the process of representing larger scale map information into smaller scale map. For example, representing Landuse Level-III aggregated to Landuse Level-II or a Base Map features aggregated from 1:250K to 1:50K scales.
Ancillary data In the context of NNRMS, ancillary data means the associated data that is used (or aids) for interpretation/analysis or deriving meaningful information from RS images. For example, topographic maps may be ancillary data in a RS interpretation for Landuse Mapping.
Attribute Information about a geographic feature in a GIS, generally stored in a table and linked to the feature by a unique identifier. For example, attributes of a river might include its name, length, and average depth or attribute for a village may be its population.
Attribute data Tabular and/or textual data describing the geographic characteristics of map features.
Boundary template In the context of NNRMS Standard, the template or “envelope” of an authentic and correct representation of national, state, village and other boundaries (most of which are adopted from published maps from relevant agencies – SOI etc). In a way, this template defines the limits of the NNRMS databases and allows the use of the same boundary for all “process” operations.
Cadastral Map A map showing the boundaries of land parcels or cadastres. It is usually drawn cartographically from land records (Tippan books) and are abstract representations of precise-land survey measurements on a map. Cadastral Maps are drawn and created on village-basis and are at different scales – 1:7920 or 1:3860 and so on in different states of India.
Cadastral Reference Database
Digital Spatial database of available Cadastral Maps of villages that are referenced with precisely-corrected satellite images (using GCPs) – thus allowing correlation of Cadastral Maps and satellite images. Further, the referenced maps are then misaimed across villages and organised into “seamless” CRD GIS databases.
NNRMS Standards
July, 2005 194
Central Meridian In the context of NNRMS Standards, Central Meridian defines the Central Longitude of a bounding box for determining the coordinate system origin (along with Central latitude). Longitudes are great circles on the surface of the Earth passing through the geographical poles.
Clearinghouse An automated or manual system that controls and regulates transactions between distributed spatial data servers to meet the user requests and demands for spatial data.
Client A relatively small personal computer or workstation in a multi-tier architecture that is directly used by a user. Client computers typically offload much of the processing and persistence to larger server computers.
Coordinates Pairs of numbers expressing horizontal distances along orthogonal axes; alternatively, triplets of numbers measuring horizontal and vertical distances.

Image A digital file comprising pixels that represents measures local reflectance values in a specified part of the EM spectrum.
Information Processed and meaning derived from raw data.
Interoperability Interoperability is the ability of systems, services and organizations to work together seamlessly toward common or diverse goals in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of the systems. In the context of NNRMS, Interoperability is the ability for operations across vendor-compliant GIS formats so that easy exchange of GIS data and its use is possible from one GIS package to another GIS package.
Landuse/Landcover Map
A map showing the use of land and also depicting the cover existing on land. Landcover is generally derived from RS images and Landuse is interpreted based on additional knowledge. In the context of NNRMS, a very important information from satellite images and an important parameter for development and monitoring.
Latitude Latitude gives the location of a place on Earth north or south of the Equator and is an angular measurement ranging from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles.
Latitude of Origin The latitude values that defines the origin of the y-coordinate values for a projection. Along with Central Meridian determines the origin of the coordinate system.
Layer In the context of NNRMS, a Layer is a unit of the repository that depicts one theme – say, a Landuse/Landcover layer or a Village Layer. Layer conotates the way spatial information is visualized in a GIS context – as layers of information.

LCC (Lambert’s Conformal Conic) Projection
Conformal map projections that have concentric parallels and equally spaced, straight meridians meeting the parallels at right angles. Provide a good directional and shape relationships for East-West mid-latitudinal zones.
Longitude Longitude describes the location of a place on Earth east or west of a north-south line called the Prime Meridian and is given as an angular measurement ranging from 0° at the Prime Meridian to +180° eastward and −180° westward. Unlike latitude, which has the equator as a natural starting position, there is no natural starting position for longitude. Therefore, a reference meridian had to be chosen.
Map Graphical representation of the physical features (natural, artificial, or both) of a part or the whole of the Earth's surface, by means of signs and symbols or photographic imagery, at an established scale, on a specified projection, and with the means of orientation indicated.
Map Projection The functional mapping of a curved horizontal reference surface of the earth onto a flat 2D plane using mathematical equations.
Metadata Metadata is characteristic data about spatial data that describes the content, quality, access, availability, costs etc – so that a user can is guided about the availability and access to these datasets.
National GIS It is a major initiative by NNRMS and NIC to establish a multi layered GIS for Planning in G2G domain. It consists of satellite images and spatial data of both the organisations. This will be used for making plan-scenarios, integrated analysis and regional imbalance studies.
NNRMS NNRMS is a unique “virtual” system encompassing various departments of the Central and state governments that address the issue of integrated natural resources management in the country. NNRMS, through its programme sand projects, creates a national information system that supports the national management system with decision alternatives. The Department of Space is the nodal agency for NNRMS and an apex Planning Committee of NNRMS oversees and guides the NNRMS.
NRR NRR – meaning Natural Resources Repository is a systematic archive of all the digital spatial data holdings of thematic and base maps generated by NNRMS and which enables information services and application solutions to users.
Open standards Standards that are built on open and transparent architecture – basically enabling a process of declaration of what one is doing and allowing others to access data at lowest levels of denominations.
Protocol A protocol is a set of rules defining communication between systems. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and HTTP (Hypertext Transport Protocol) are examples of other protocols used for communication between systems across the Internet.

Query A set of conditions or questions that form the basis for the retrieval of information from a database.
Relational database A type of database in which the data is organized across several tables, organized according to relationships between data items.
Scale The proportion or ratio between a map measurement and the corresponding measurement in the real world.
Scale Factor On a reference globe, the actual scale divided by the principal scale; The principal scale is a given representative fraction for a reference globe derived by dividing the earth’s radius by the radius of the globe.
Schema
The structure or design of a database or database object such as a table. In a relational database, the schema defines the tables, the fields in each table, and the relationships between fields and tables. Schemas are generally stored in a data dictionary.
Seamless In the context of NNRMS, “seamless” means a layer that does not have seams of boundaries (administrative or disjointed frames) and appears as a single unit – say, for the whole nation.
Search and Access Protocols
Search and Access protocols define the procedures for searching and accessing spatial data based on transactions between a user and a server on a network.

Spatial Data Infrastructure
The framework of technologies, policies, standards, and human resources necessary to acquire, process, store, distribute, and improve the utilization of geospatial data.
Spatial data structures
A class of data structures designed to store spatial information and facilitate its manipulation.
Spatial database A database containing spatial data or information.
Spatial framework Spatial framework is a combination of datum, projection and bounding limits definition (with assessment of accuracy) – that allows the easy and accurate registration, transformation and visualization of the spatial information in the repository. In its simplest form, any spatial framework would be a frame of geographical coordinates with link points aimed at providing an invariant reference for all spatial data sets.
Spatial resolution The minimum size of the objects that can be detected by a sensor system.

SQL Structural Query Language – syntax for defining and manipulating
data from a relational database.
Standard Parallel The line of latitude where the projection surface touches the surface. A tangent conic or cylindrical projection has one standard parallel, while a secant conic or cylindrical projection has two. A standard parallel has no distortion.
Standards Documented agreements containing technical specifications to be used consistently as rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics, to ensure that materials, products, procedures, and services are fit for their purpose.
Symbology The set of conventions, or rules, that define how geographic features are represented with symbols on a map. A characteristic of a feature may influence the size, color, and shape of the symbol used.
Template A kind of map document that provides a quick way to create a new map. Templates can contain data, a custom interface, and a predefined layout that arranges map elements, such as North arrows, scale bars, and logos, on the virtual page.
Thematic Map Map designed to provide information on a single theme, such as landuse, geology, rainfall, population, etc.
Topographic Map Spatial representation of the surface features of a place or region on a map, indicating their relative positions and elevations. Topographic maps are prepared by SOI in India.
Transverse Mercator (TM)
A transverse Mercator projection is a map projection similar to the Mercator projection in that it is a projection of Earth on a tangent cylinder by rays radial with respect to the cylinder. However, in a transverse Mercator projection, the cylinder is tangent at some meridian rather than at the equator.
WGS-84 World Geodetic System of 1984. A geocentric datum and geographic coordinate system, which provides a terrestrial frame that, is accepted across the user community.
