FAQs

Where can users find further information on feature topology in the DRM?

See P4V4 of the SEDRIS Documentation Set for further information.

Why can't a <Reference Surface> instance be associated to a <Feature Hierarchy> instance, as with <Geometry Hierarchy> instances?

A <Reference Surface> instance is associated to a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance to indicate that the <Geometry Hierarchy> instance represents a reference surface. <Feature Hierarchy> instances are not used to represent reference surfaces.

Notes

Associated to Notes


Feature_Representation

An association between two <Feature Representation> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship.


Geometry_Hierarchy

An association between a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a <Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship.


Property_Grid

An association between a <Property Grid> instance and a <Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) represented by the <Feature Representation> instance and the <Property Grid> instance (or some specific cell data within that <Property Grid> instance) have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship. Each associated <Property Grid> instance indicates whether the entire <Property Grid> instance or only some specific cell data within it is participating in the relationship in question.
