gml:DynamicFeature

States are captured by time-stamped instances of a feature. The content model extends the standard gml:AbstractFeatureType with the gml:dynamicProperties model group.
Each time-stamped instance represents a 'snapshot' of a feature. The dynamic feature classes will normally be extended to suit particular applications.  A dynamic feature bears either a time stamp or a history.

Element information

Content

• Sequence [1..1]
  from type gml:AbstractGMLType
  from group gml:StandardObjectProperties
  gml:metaDataProperty [0..*]    deprecated
  gml:description [0..1]    The value of this property is a text description of the object. gml:description uses gml:StringOrRefType as its content model, so it may contain a simple text string content, or carry a reference to an external description. The use of gml:description to reference an external description has been deprecated and replaced by the gml:descriptionReference property.
  gml:descriptionReference [0..1]    The value of this property is a remote text description of the object. The xlink:href attribute of the gml:descriptionReference property references the external description.
  gml:identifier [0..1]    Often, a special identifier is assigned to an object by the maintaining authority with the intention that it is used in references to the object For such cases, the codeSpace shall be provided. That identifier is usually unique either globally or within an application domain. gml:identifier is a pre-defined property for such identifiers.
  gml:name [0..*]    The gml:name property provides a label or identifier for the object, commonly a descriptive name. An object may have several names, typically assigned by different authorities. gml:name uses the gml:CodeType content model. The authority for a name is indicated by the value of its (optional) codeSpace attribute. The name may or may not be unique, as determined by the rules of the organization responsible for the codeSpace. In common usage there will be one name per authority, so a processing application may select the name from its preferred codeSpace.
  from type gml:AbstractFeatureType
  gml:boundedBy [0..1]    This property describes the minimum bounding box or rectangle that encloses the entire feature.
  Choice [0..1]
  from subst. group gml:location
  gml:location    deprecated
  gml:priorityLocation    deprecated
  from group gml:dynamicProperties
  gml:validTime [0..1]    gml:validTime is a convenience property element.
  Choice [0..1]
  from subst. group gml:history
  gml:history    A generic sequence of events constitute a gml:history of an object. The gml:history element contains a set of elements in the substitution group headed by the abstract element gml:AbstractTimeSlice, representing the time-varying properties of interest. The history property of a dynamic feature associates a feature instance with a sequence of time slices (i.e. change events) that encapsulate the evolution of the feature.
  gml:track    deprecated
  gml:dataSource [0..1]    Evidence is represented by a simple gml:dataSource or gml:dataSourceReference property that indicates the source of the temporal data. The remote link attributes of the gml:dataSource element have been deprecated along with its current type.
  gml:dataSourceReference [0..1]    Evidence is represented by a simple gml:dataSource or gml:dataSourceReference property that indicates the source of the temporal data.
