gml:TopoVolume

gml:TopoVolume represents a homogeneous topological expression, a set of directed topologic solids, which if realised are isomorphic to a geometric solid primitive. The intended use of gml:TopoVolume is to appear within a solid feature to express the structural and geometric relationships of this solid feature to other features via the shared solid definitions.

Element information

Content

• Sequence [1..1]
  from type gml:AbstractGMLType
  from group gml:StandardObjectProperties
  gml:metaDataProperty [0..*]
  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.
  1. gml:directedTopoSolid [1..*]The gml:directedSolid property element describes the coBoundary of topology faces and is used in the support of volume features via the gml:TopoVolume expression, see below. The orientation attribute of type gml:SignType expresses the sense in which the included solid appears in the face coboundary. In the context of a gml:TopoVolume the orientation attribute has no meaning.
