gml:EllipsoidType

An ellipsoid is a geometric figure that can be used to describe the approximate shape of the earth. In mathematical terms, it is a surface formed by the rotation of an ellipse about its minor axis.

Complex type information

Content

• Sequence [1..1]
  from type gml:EllipsoidBaseType
  gml:metaDataProperty [0..*]    Contains or refers to a metadata package that contains metadata properties.
  gml:ellipsoidName [1..1]    The name by which this ellipsoid is identified.
  1. gml:ellipsoidID [0..*]    Set of alternative identifications of this ellipsoid. The first ellipsoidID, if any, is normally the primary identification code, and any others are aliases.
  2. gml:remarks [0..1]    Comments on or information about this ellipsoid, including source information.
  3. gml:semiMajorAxis [1..1]    Length of the semi-major axis of the ellipsoid, with its units. Uses the MeasureType with the restriction that the unit of measure referenced by uom must be suitable for a length, such as metres or feet.
  4. gml:secondDefiningParameter [1..1]
