    Geographic information – Classification systems: Land Cover Meta Language (LCML)
    Part 2: ISO 19144-2:2023 (Edition 2)
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The ISO 19144-2 – land cover meta language (LCML) is prepared jointly by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Technical Committee of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) i.e., Technical Committee 211 (TC211) on Geographic information/Geomatics. This document specifies a Land Cover Meta Language (LCML) expressed as a UML metamodel that allows different Land Cover classification systems to be described based on physiognomic aspects. This document recognizes that a number of Land Cover classification systems exist. It provides a common reference structure for the comparison and integration of data for any generic Land Cover classification system, but does not intend to replace those classification systems.FAO acknowledges with deep appreciation the exceptional permission granted by ISO to continue republishing the current editions of the ISO 19144 series as FAO publications. This unique arrangement underscores the spirit of mutual trust and collaboration between the two organizations, ensuring wider and equitable access to these essential standards by Member Nations, technical partners and practitioners around the world.
