Property

Description

Superclass

·         <DRM Property Table Reference Entry>

Class

·         <DRM Property Table Reference>

Subclass

·         none

Definition

An object of this DRM class specifies a reference to an n-1 dimensional 'slice' of an n-dimensional <DRM Property Table> in a <DRM Data Table Library>, where N is the number of <DRM Axis>s of the <DRM Property Table>.

<DRM Property Table Reference> exists primarily to allow a data provider to select a set of parameters from a standard <DRM Property Table> containing an indexed collection of alternatives.

Since only one <DRM Axis> requires a specific 'tick mark' to be specified, <DRM Property Table Reference> specifies the axis_type of the <DRM Axis> to be matched, and the index_on_axis specifies the 'tick mark' on that <DRM Axis>.

Example(s)

·         A <DRM Geometry> may have a reference with table_type TABLE_THERMAL_VALUES to access the thermal value for the <DRM Geometry>.

·         A <DRM Feature> may have a reference with table_type TABLE_MOBILITY_INDEX to access mobility properties of a road or a terrain surface.
