Summarize this article for a 10 year old
GeoAPI is free software providing a set of Java interfaces for GIS applications. GeoAPI interfaces are derived from the abstract model and concrete specifications published collaboratively by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in its 19100 series of documents and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) in its abstract and implementation specifications. GeoAPI provides an interpretation and adaptation of these standards to match the constraints and usages of the target programming language. The international standards translated to Java interfaces are:
- ISO/TS 19103:2005 — Conceptual schema language
- ISO 19115:2003 — Metadata
- ISO 19115-2:2009 — Metadata — Part 2: Extensions for imagery and gridded data
- ISO 19111:2007 — Spatial referencing by coordinates
