The SEDRIS Data Representation Model
APPENDIX A - Classes Description |
|---|
An instance of this DRM class specifies a characterization of the environmental data being described, including its intended use and limitations, such that the information is provided in an ISO 19115 compatible form. The environmental data refers to the object tree rooted at the aggregate of the <Description> instance. If a <Description> instance is shared by multiple aggregate objects, the environmental data refers to the collection of object trees rooted at its various aggregates.
NOTE The term "environmental data" is equivalent to the term "data set" in ISO 19115.
The <Description> component provides a description of a <Model> instance representing a particular type of aircraft, perhaps including a summary of its structure, and a list of its intended uses.
This class provides a place for a ISO 19115-compliant description of a high-level DRM object X (such as a <Transmittal Root> instance, a <Model> instance, or a <Image> instance). A <Description> instance includes an abstract field, which describes what the DRM object X is, a purpose field, which describes how X is intended to be used, and an additional supplemental_information field for any other information about X.
| SE_String | abstract; | (notes) |
|---|---|---|
| SE_String | purpose; | (notes) |
| SE_Short_Integer_Unsigned | credit_count; | (notes) |
| SE_String | credit[]; | (notes) |
| SE_String | supplemental_information; | (notes) |
The abstract field specifies a brief narrative summary of the content of the resource(s) being described.
The purpose field specifies a summary of the intentions with which the resource(s) being described were developed.
The credit_count field specifies the count of entries in the credit array.
The credit field provides recognition of those who contributed to the resource(s) being described.
The supplemental_information field supplies any other descriptive information about the environmental data.
