The main idea of standardization is to develop models that describe a whole class of Objects (e.g.) a whole class of buildings, which are often referred to as “type” models. These standardized type models provide software vendors a basis on which their applications can be built. Occurrence data (i.e. one particular building) can be instantiated by the end-users and exchanged and shared with other applications that are based on the same schema (i.e. same type model).
