I like to think of a feature catalogue for GIS database as the legend of a ordinary map.
The Features in the ”Mekong River Base GIS-data”
The Feature Attribute Names in the ”Mekong River Base GIS-data”
The Feature Attribute Values in the ”Mekong River Base GIS-data”
The heart of a database is tables linked together This one should be according to ISO_DIS_19110.pdf
The Features in Vientiane map of “The 5 cities” “Area_polygon”
The Features in Vientiane map of “The 5 cities” Area_polygon Road VName Other
Feature names some times called layer, coverage, themes etc • Feature attributes some times called fields, attributes • Feature attribute values some times called object types, types, objects, features, codes, values etc • Instances some times called feature instances,objects, population, record
