@UML(identifier="MD_TopicCategoryCode", specification=ISO_19115) public final class TopicCategory extends CodeList<TopicCategory>
High-level geographic data thematic classification to assist in the grouping and search of available geographic data sets. Can be used to group keywords as well. Listed examples are not exhaustive.Note: It is understood there are overlaps between general categories and the user is encouraged to select the one most appropriate.Upcoming API change — enumeration
According ISO 19115,TopicCategory
shall be an enumeration, not a code list. This class may be changed to a Javaenum
in GeoAPI 4.0. See GEO-199 for more information.- Since:
