Notes

Associated with Notes


Feature

 An association between a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a
 <Feature> instance indicates that the <Geometry Hierarchy>
 and the <Feature> are alternate representations of the same
 environmental object.

Geometry_Hierarchy

 An association between two <Geometry Hierarchy> instances
 indicates that they are alternate representations of the same
 environmental object.

Hierarchy_Summary_Item

 An association from a <Hierarchy Summary Item> instance to a
 <Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <Hierarchy Summary Item>
 summarizes that <Geometry Hierarchy>.

Reference_Surface

 An association from a <Reference Surface> instance to a
 <Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <Geometry Hierarchy>
 organizes the geometric objects that specify the resolution
 surface of the <Reference Surface>.
