Coverage data

A coverage is the digital representation of some spatio-temporal phenomenon. ISO 19123 provides the definition: * [a] feature that acts as a function to return values from its range for any direct position within its spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal domain Coverages play an important role in geographic information systems, geospatial content and services, GIS data processing, and data sharing. However, coverages are more general than just regularly gridded imagery. The corresponding standards (see below) address regular and irregular grids, point clouds, and general meshes.
