ISORIZE brings records, geometry, metadata and relationships from different disciplines into one catalogue, each with its own schema and its own vocabularies.
For heritage authorities, museums, local government, protected-area bodies, research institutions and professionals commissioned to catalogue.
A structure sits inside a habitat, beside a trail, within a designated area. In ISORIZE each of these relationships is recorded as data, with its own type, the source that attests it, its verification status and an accountable person.
The functions described below are in operation; which of them are activated, and with what configuration, is settled with the organisation when the project starts.
Each domain has its own controlled vocabularies. An authorised user adds a term from the administration panel. Superseded terms stay in the vocabulary marked «deprecated», and the records that use them stay readable.
Geometry is entered from the record: drawn on the map, typed as coordinates, or deposited as a file. The accuracy class, the acquisition method and, where elevation matters, the vertical reference system stay attached to it. Measurement accuracy and identification reliability remain two distinct fields: a coordinate surveyed to the centimetre may refer to an asset whose identification is still uncertain.
Draft, registered, published, archived: that is the minimum path. Where the project requires it, review by the scientific lead is added. Permissions are checked on the server at every transition; hiding a control in the interface does not count as a check.
Each domain has its own records, vocabularies, permissions and validation rules, and shares with the others the map, the validation path and the change log. One organisation's data is not reachable from another's.
There is no self-registration. Accounts begin with an invitation, with roles and domains of competence set by the project, and relevant operations are recorded with author and date. Data belonging to different organisations stays separate, including for administrators.
Every change creates a revision with author, date and content. The register is append-only: no line is ever overwritten. Editing a published record opens a new revision in draft; the published version stays readable and exportable until the new one replaces it.
Interface preview: a catalogue record is assembled field by field — name, condition, accuracy class, location reliability — the point appears on the map and the record's status advances from draft to published.
The references below concern how data leaves ISORIZE and is read elsewhere.
Every step leaves a trace. Provenance, transformations, responsibilities and conditions of use accompany the data together with its metadata.
Which of these references enter a project, and to what extent, is settled with the organisation: the list describes how the platform is built, not a set of features active for everyone.
reference INSPIRE
Protected sites, habitats and biotopes, species distribution: for these themes the data and metadata structure is already defined, and ISORIZE adopts it.
reference ISO 19115 / 19139
Title, abstract, keywords, responsible party, reference system, spatial and temporal extent, quality, conditions of use, lineage.
reference OGC — WMS, WFS, WMTS
Layers are published as interoperable services and open in QGIS, ArcGIS, map portals and third-party systems.
reference RNDT
Metadata is structured for deposit into national and regional infrastructures: by the time of publication the description already exists.
reference Natura 2000
Codes, designations and relationships between an element and its protected context are structured fields, queryable like the rest of the record.
reference EUNIS
The habitat classification is recorded together with the source of the determination. Surveys from different campaigns stay comparable.
reference Darwin Core / GBIF
Biological observations adopt the schemas in use for biodiversity-data exchange, with no remapping of fields.
reference ICCD
For cultural heritage the fields keep the names of the cataloguing schema. No internal renaming.
ISORIZE is built to work with shared standards and vocabularies. Which services and which export schemas to activate is defined with the organisation, and verified on the data actually exported.
Back to topA real inventory delivers values of differing quality. Each one enters the catalogue with the scale and method by which it was measured, or with the reason the measurement is missing.
Measured. A graduated scale and declared vocabulary show both value and method.
Undetermined. A dashed mark denotes a value never measured, distinct from zero and from a data-entry error.
The source wording remains readable. A normalised form may sit alongside it, used for search.
The cloud or the model opens on the same map as the records. While viewing, you pick the attribute that colours the points: colour acquired by the survey, elevation, classification, height above ground, intensity.
The platform derives from the deposited file a copy suited to online viewing. The original stays untouched. Where the survey carries elevations, the vertical reference system is a required field. Without that reference the cloud sits at the wrong height.
Accepted formats — point clouds: LAZ 1.4 COPC; models: glTF 2.0 / GLB. File requirements are declared and checked on upload.
Back to topPeople working on the project need the exact location. The question is what leaves it — through an export, an application interface, a public map.
Internal view: the actual coordinate, available to authorised users. The padlock on the marker signals that the site is subject to limits on the way out.
Data, metadata, relationships and declared absences come out in open, self-contained formats, readable without ISORIZE and without proprietary software. Generalised geometry carries with it the statement that applies to it.
If the package cannot be read without us, the delivery is not finished.
The check is run on the real export, before the organisation signs off. It is a project acceptance criterion.
We start from material you already have: a spreadsheet, a map layer, archive records, a survey. On a sample chosen together we test the schema, the vocabularies, data quality and the shape of the delivery. Call us and let us talk it through.
