Feature and Attribute Code (MS1759)

Feature and Attributes Codes (MS 1759) provides the specification by which data producers and users may exchange digital spatial data. This will minimize the possibility of duplication of effort in database development.
MS1759 describes the encoding of the real world in terms of features and attributes. Features are real world objects while attributes are properties or characteristics associated with the objects. In MS1759, there are twelve (12) feature categories as follows:
  1. Aeronautical
  2. Built Environment
  3. Demarcation
  4. Geology
  5. Hydrography
  6. Hypsography 
  7. Soil
  8. Transportation
  9. Utility
  10. Vegetation
  11. Special Use (Dataset Specific)
  12. General
