By ‘Scale of application’, we mean the scale at which the file may really be used.

A dataset might also have a specific degree of generality or, on the contrary, a degree of detail. This often depends on the purpose that the dataset has. A local administrator might want to know to quite a precise level where houses actually are, but an administrator at country level might be quite happy with a global overview of where buildings are located. Attention: a scale of 1:10.000 is larger than a scale of 1:250.000. The scale is as true as the scale on which the data has been gathered.

This element is conditional. It is mandatory when a scale of application can be specified. The element may occur twice, which indicates an interval. Only the scale number is entered, not the “1:”.

Examples:

  1. 50000
  2. 250000
  3. 10000
  4. 100000
  5. 25000
