The SEDRIS Data Representation Model
APPENDIX A - Classes Cross Reference |
|---|
An instance of this DRM class specifies a [CSDGM]-compliant reference to an external data set that is related in some way to the containing DRM object to which the <Cross Reference> instance is attached.
A reference to a transmittal covering the adjacent area to the east.
A reference to a small-scale map covering the entire area described by a transmittal.
A reference to a statement of work containing the requirements used to create a transmittal.
A reference to a product specification describing the content of one of the types of a <Data Table> instance.
This class provides a very general-purpose mechanism that can be used to document almost any type of relationship between an object in a transmittal and an external data set. It uses a <Citation> component to refer to the external data set, so it has the flavor of a bibliographical reference, and can be used to refer to books, maps, presentations, or any other type of "publication", as well as to digital data sets. Each <Cross Reference> also includes a field in which the nature of the relationship can be described. Note that a <Cross Reference> is similar to a <Source>, but is more general in nature. <Source> instances should be used to document the data sources that were used in the creation of a transmittal or one of its major subordinate objects. <Cross Reference> instances should be used to refer to other related materials that may be of interest to the user of a transmittal.
