FOREWORD
This Malaysian Standard was developed by the Technical Committee on Geographic
Information/Geomatics under the authority of the Information Technology, Telecommunication
and Multimedia Industry Standards Committee based on the working draft prepared by the
Technical Standards Committee of the Malaysian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI).
This Standard cancels and replaces MS 1074:1992, Code of practice for the exchange of
digital feature coded mapping data.

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION/GEOMATICS
FEATURES AND ATTRIBUTE CODES
0. Introduction
This Malaysian Standard is intended for use by all businesses that produce, distribute or
utilise geospatial data, either alone or in conjunction with non-geospatial data. These range
from geographic information systems, decision support systems, data mining, data
warehousing, to modelling and simulations. Application areas include but not limited to
resource planning and management, automated mapping, geo-engineering, construction,
communication, transportation and utilities.
It provides a system for feature and attribute coding by which producers and users of
geographic information may use in structuring their digital spatial data. This standard
facilitates sharing and exchanging between both data producers and users.
This Standard represents a major improvement over MS 1074:1992 and contains some 2000
additional features and organised into twelve main categories such as aeronautical, geology,
soil, utility and special use.

1. Scope
This Malaysian Standard specifies the method for encoding of geospatial data and provides
the description of features and their associated attributes for the exchange of digital
geographic information.

2. Normative references

3. Terms and definitions


For the purposes of this Malaysian Standard, the terms and definitions given in ISO/DIS
19104 apply.

4. Features and attributes


This Standard describes the encoding of the world in terms of features and attributes.
Features are real world objects while attributes are properties or characteristics associated
with the objects.
4.1

Coding of features and attributes

This standard has not been developed to the requirements of any single application or level of
resolution. This standard is also not meant to support any specific digital product.
As with any dictionary, there may be more than one way to encode spatial entities, either by
offering a choice of features or a combination of features and attributes. For example, an
airport is listed as feature AB0010 Aerodrome (A defined area on land or water intended to
be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircrafts,
could also be coded as feature BD0010 Institutional Building with attribute INU (Institutional
Usage) with a coded value of 001 (Airport Terminal). The choice is entirely up to users own
application and interpretation; to code only the terminal building or the entire aerodrome area.
Feature codes are shown in Annex A and Attribute codes and values are given in Annex B.
Annex B also provides information as to the units, formats, ranges, increments and maximum
text characters typically associated with each actual value attribute.
If a feature does not reside within this standard, it is allowed for a user-designated features
and associated attributes. Otherwise, features and attributes shall be encoded using this
standard. The process for amending and updating this standard is described in 4.3.
4.2
4.2.1

Coding structure
Features

Each feature is identified by a unique six-character code. The first character corresponds to
the feature category and can have an alphabetic value from A through Z. Currently there are
twelve feature categories, including one category, X, which has been reserved for special use
(dataset-specific) features. The categories are as follows:
CODE

Geology
Hydrography
Hypsography
Soil

Each major category is further divided into subcategories which are identified by the second
character of the six-digit code, containing an alphabetic value from A through Z. The
subcategories that have currently been defined for each major category are as follows:
A-Aeronautical

Control Points

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth characters of the six-character feature code are a numeric
value from 0000 through 9999. This value provides unique feature identification within
categories yet allows flexibility. All features shall be identified by all six alphanumeric
characters (for example, the feature Road is represented by TA0060). The block of feature
code values from 8000 through 8999 has been reserved for special usage, e.g. usage within
a particular agency or a group of users.
Due to hierarchical nature of geology and soil features, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
characters (the first through fourth numeric) represent the level of hierarchy of the feature
within a particular subcategory. The first numeric represents the first level, the second
numeric represents the second level, the third numeric represents the third level, and so on, if
they are non-zeros. The value of the numeric is the feature number within that particular level.
Zero value of the numeric means that the level is undefined.
4

MS 1759:2004

For other categories of features (other than geology and soil), the numeric simply represents
feature number within a particular subcategory.
4.2.2

Attributes

Attributes are used to describe characteristics of a feature. Each attribute is described by


using attribute codes to represent the category of information. Attribute value format
statements provide a computer interpretation for the attribute value data type (e.g. real,
alphanumeric) and attribute values give quantitative/qualitative meaning to the attribute code.
An attribute can be used by any feature, but care must be taken so that only meaningful
attributes are chosen for a particular feature. For example, syntactically, an attribute Lift
Facilities can be used with feature Rail Line, but semantically, the combination is useless. A
list of possible attributes for each feature have been provided for the convenient of users.
4.2.2.1

Attribute codes

Each attribute is identified by a unique three character alphanumeric code. For example, the
attribute Road Service Area has the code RDS and the attribute Bridge Construction
Material Type has the code BMT.
4.2.2.2

Attribute values

There are two types of attribute values: coded and actual. A given attribute has only one type
of value, which is specified in Annex B. Coded values may range from 0 to 999 and each of
the value has its own meaning. Actual values are typically real measurements like height,
width, date, etc. The units of measurement associated with an attribute are abbreviated
according to the units of measurement codes as detailed in Annex B. A coded value attribute
can be logically depicted as shown below:
Attribute Coded
RDS

Attribute Value Format


I

Attribute Value (coded in this case)


2

where
RDS

represents Road Service Area;

is the format of the coded value (in this case the format is that of a 4-byte integer);
and

represents the coded value of the RUC attribute (in this case Rural).

For consistency and unless otherwise stated, the following coded values will be used where
relevant:
0
996
997
998
999

is Unknown
is None
is Mixed
is Not Applicable
is Others

The block of coded attribute values from 600 through 899 has been reserved for special
usage, e.g. usage within a particular agency or a group of users.

MS 1759:2004

Actual value can have a format of either:


A
I
L
R
S

Alphanumeric,
Integer,
Lexical,
Real Number or
Structure Text.

For example, an Road (feature code TA0060) which has the route number J23, has four
lanes, and is dual carriageway, would be attributed as follows:
Attribute code
RTN (Route Number)
LAN (Number of Lane)
CWT (Carriageway Type)
4.2.2.3

Range value attributes

Normally attributes are single valued text strings, numbers or enumerated values. However,
at times it is necessary to assign values that fall within predetermined ranges. This can be
done through an enumerated list that pre-defined the permitted ranges. For example, an
attribute for height may be defined as:
0
1
2
3
4
4.3

< 10
10 - <20
20 - <30
30 - <40
> 40

Rules for documenting new features and attributes

This standard should be used during the development of specifications of digital application
systems to support and satisfy the exchange of spatial information. However, this standard
can be modified and updated in response to dynamic technology and evolving requirements.
If this standard does not contain the required features, the standard allows for amendment to
incorporate extensions and additions.
This sub clause lists the rules that are used to document the features and attributes contained
in Annexes A and B. All extensions and additions shall also follow these rules:
a) feature and attribute names should be precise and unambiguous;
b) attribute values should be self-describing;
c) a feature and attribute should not have the same name;
d) a feature or attribute can have multiple names but only one definition;
e) a feature or attribute name should not be used in the description of the feature or
attributes;
f)

a feature name or definition should not specify if the feature is an area, point or line
feature;
6

MS 1759:2004

g) a feature should be relatively permanent;


h) a feature should not be duplicated between categories;
i)

all attribute values are positive unless otherwise stated;

j)

a boundary is just a spatial object or information that be considered a line feature and not
a perimeter or solid surface of an area or spatial feature; and

k) the systematic structure of the coding schema should be permanent.


The features and attributes in this standard represent both spatial information and information
which is considered important in geographic information system. Care should be taken to
restrict additions to this standard to items of a stable nature only. Users should, for the
development of their feature and attribute requirements, seek inter-organisation co-operation
and co-ordination.
