ISO 19115 Definition: Base maps, orthoimagery, and land cover classification.
SPHERE Mapping
Raw imagery and basemaps are Toposphere imagery evidence — direct visual representations of the surface. When imagery is classified into thematic partitioning categories, it becomes a thread to Socio-Technical Perception & Thematics.
Primary sphere: Toposphere Subsphere(s): toposphere_remote_sensed_observations
Cross-Domain Connections (Threads)
This theme bridges multiple SPHERE domains:
- Primary: Toposphere
- Thread → Socio-Technical Perception & Thematics
