   Definition  | 
  
   The one-directional topological relationship between a <DRM Feature Node> and the ordered set of ordered collections of <DRM Feature Edge>s that are connected to it within a given topological surface; that is, those that have the <DRM Feature Node> instance as an endpoint and lie in a common topological surface. If a <DRM Feature Node> instance is the endpoint of a <DRM Feature Edge> instance, it is required to have a <DRM Connected Feature Edge> component which associates to that . If, however, a <DRM Feature Node> instance is not the endpoint of any <DRM Feature Edge>, it shall not have a <DRM Connected Feature Edge> component. At feature topology levels 0 through 3, all of the <DRM Feature Edge> instances connected to a <DRM Feature Node> lie in the same topological surface, so that they shall be ordered around the <DRM Feature Node> via a single <DRM Connected Feature Edge> instance. At feature topology level 4, <DRM Feature Edge> instances can connect to <DRM Feature Node> from any direction in 3-dimensional space, such that the <DRM Feature Edge> instances may be located in different topological surfaces. In this case, the <DRM Feature Edge>s shall be organized into subsets, one for each separate topological surface, so that the <DRM Feature Node> instance has a separate <DRM Connected Feature Edge> component for each such subset.  |

   Example(s)  | 
  
   · A <DRM Feature Node> that represents a four-way road intersection has a <DRM Connected Feature Edge> component, which is associated with each of the four <DRM Feature Edge>s that represent the road segments that meet at the intersection. Conversely, each of those four <DRM Feature Edge> is associated to the <DRM Connected Feature Edge>, as either its starting or ending node.
