gml:OperationMethodType

Definition of an algorithm used to perform a coordinate operation. Most operation methods use a number of operation parameters, although some coordinate conversions use none. Each coordinate operation using the method assigns values to these parameters. 

Complex type information

Content

• Sequence [1..1]
  from type gml:OperationMethodBaseType
  gml:metaDataProperty [0..*]    Contains or refers to a metadata package that contains metadata properties.
  gml:methodName [1..1]    The name by which this operation method is identified.
  1. gml:methodID [0..*]    Set of alternative identifications of this operation method. The first methodID, if any, is normally the primary identification code, and any others are aliases.
  2. gml:remarks [0..1]    Comments on or information about this operation method, including source information.
  3. gml:methodFormula [1..1]    Formula(s) used by this operation method. The value may be a reference to a publication. Note that the operation method may not be analytic, in which case this element references or contains the procedure, not an analytic formula.
  4. gml:sourceDimensions [1..1]    Number of dimensions in the source CRS of this operation method.
  5. gml:targetDimensions [1..1]    Number of dimensions in the target CRS of this operation method.
  6. gml:usesParameter [0..*]    Unordered list of associations to the set of operation parameters and parameter groups used by this operation method.
