Abstract
This chapter discusses the technical characteristics of assessing standards for the transfer of spatial data. This chapter comprises a draft set of technical characteristics for the independent scientific assessment of standards for the transfer of spatial and related data. It is based on discussions held by members of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) Commission on Standards for the transfer of spatial data, held in Bournemouth, UK in September 1991. The technical characteristics are presented in the form of a questionnaire, designed to obtain information in a standardized format regarding the critical characteristics of a particular international standard. The intention is to publish both the final criteria and descriptions of current national and international standards in terms of the technical characteristics as an ICA publication. The technical characteristics have been organized into 13 categories. To facilitate user understanding of a standard, the categories of characteristics have been ordered beginning with rather general characteristics to increasingly more particular and detailed characteristics.
