Management of map databases for in-vehicle navigational units is a major concern. As navigation units become more prevalent and perform more functions it is important to keep the maps they use up-to-date and extendable. This article is intended to provide information about underlying issues. It is hoped that the article is developed by contributors over time to become a comprehensive and valuable reference for map database management. Roesser 00:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Feature Vs. Entity

I notice that you reference the ISO in your article. Here is a short quote:

ISO 14825:2004 specifies the conceptual and logical data model and the exchange format for geographic data bases for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. It includes a specification of potential contents of such data bases (features, attributes and relationships), a specification of how these contents shall be represented, and of how relevant information about the database itself can be specified (metadata).

'Entity' is not a defined term in a GIS or GDF or any spatial database. I would like to see your references.

You are correct. ISO 14825:2004 does use "features" in this way. I'm convinced. Roesser (talk) 21:46, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
