gml:directedNode

A gml:directedNode property element describes the boundary of topology edges and is used in the support of topological point features via the gml:TopoPoint expression, see below. The orientation attribute of type gml:SignType expresses the sense in which the included node is used: start ("-") or end ("+") node.

Element information

Namespace: http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2

Schema document: external/ogc/gml/3.2.1/topology.xsd

Type: gml:DirectedNodePropertyType

Properties: Global, Qualified

Content

gml:Node [0..1]gml:Node represents the 0-dimensional primitive. The optional coboundary of a node (gml:directedEdge) is a sequence of directed edges which are incident on this node. Edges emanating from this node appear in the node coboundary with a negative orientation. If provided, the aggregationType attribute shall have the value "sequence". A node may optionally be realised by a 0-dimensional geometric primitive (gml:pointProperty).

Attributes

Name	Occ	Type	Description	Notes
orientation	[0..1]	gml:SignType		Default value is "+".
xlink:type	[0..1]	xsd:string		Fixed value is "simple". from group xlink:simpleLink
xlink:href	[0..1]	xsd:anyURI		from group xlink:simpleLink
xlink:role	[0..1]	xsd:anyURI		from group xlink:simpleLink
xlink:arcrole	[0..1]	xsd:anyURI		from group xlink:simpleLink
xlink:title	[0..1]	xsd:string		from group xlink:simpleLink
xlink:show	[0..1]	Anonymous	The 'show' attribute is used to communicate the desired presentation of the ending resource on traversal from the starting resource; it's value should be treated as follows: new - load ending resource in a new window, frame, pane, or other presentation context replace - load the resource in the same window, frame, pane, or other presentation context embed - load ending resource in place of the presentation of the starting resource other - behavior is unconstrained; examine other markup in the link for hints none - behavior is unconstrained	from group xlink:simpleLink
xlink:actuate	[0..1]	Anonymous	The 'actuate' attribute is used to communicate the desired timing of traversal from the starting resource to the ending resource; it's value should be treated as follows: onLoad - traverse to the ending resource immediately on loading the starting resource onRequest - traverse from the starting resource to the ending resource only on a post-loading event triggered for this purpose other - behavior is unconstrained; examine other markup in link for hints none - behavior is unconstrained	from group xlink:simpleLink
nilReason	[0..1]	gml:NilReasonType		from group gml:AssociationAttributeGroup
gml:remoteSchema	[0..1]	xsd:anyURI		from group gml:AssociationAttributeGroup
owns	[0..1]	xsd:boolean		Default value is "false". from group gml:OwnershipAttributeGroup
