Notes

Associated to Notes


Feature_Representation

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

Geometry_Hierarchy

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

Associated from Notes


Feature_Representation

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

Geometry_Hierarchy

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

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>.
