An instance of this DRM class serves to organize <Geometry Hierarchy> instances for which no other organizing principle is suitable.

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.
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.
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.
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.
An association from a <Hierarchy Summary Item> instance to a <Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <Hierarchy Summary Item> summarizes that <Geometry Hierarchy>.
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>.
In the case where multiple <Collision Volume> components are specified for a given <Aggregate Geometry>, the union of the volumes thus specified is used in collision detection.
If the value of the unique_descendants field is SE_TRUE, each descendant of this aggregation, that is, each <Geometry Representation> instance that exists in the component tree rooted at the given <Aggregate Geometry>, shall be unique, in the sense that it shall appear in only one branch of this aggregation. If unique_descendants is SE_FALSE, at least one <Geometry Representation> instance appears in more than one branch of the aggregation.
If the value of the strict_organizing_principle field is SE_TRUE, each branch of this aggregation strictly complies with the organizing principle for its particular subclass. If this value is SE_FALSE, at least one branch does not strictly comply with the given organizing principle. See the organizing principle constraint for each specific subclass for details.
The union_reason field specifies the reason why the given instance of <Union Of Geometry> was created to organize its components.
The ordering_reason field specifies whether the ordering of the component <Geometry Representation> instances of the given <Union Of Geometry> instance is semantically significant, and if so, what that significance is.
