Class

·         <DRM Alternate Hierarchy Related Geometry>

Subclass

·         none

Definition

An aggregation of <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instances in which each component <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> is an alternate representation of the same environmental entity and the corresponding <DRM Hierarchy Data> instance indicates why that particular alternate representation was provided.

Example(s)

·         The collection of <DRM Geometry> representing a specific geographic area is required to be accessed efficiently both by location (e.g., for display), and by classification (i.e., roads, then rivers, then vegetation, etc.). To accommodate this, an <DRM Alternate Hierarchy Related Geometry> object with two components can be used, in which one component consists of a <DRM Spatial Index Related Geometry> object, which organizes the geometry by location, and the other component consists of a <DRM Classification Related Geometry> object, which organizes the <DRM Geometry> by EDCS classification code (ECC).

Notes

1 If true, for any object that exists 'below' this aggregation, each object will appear in only one 'branch' of this aggregation. If false, objects may appear in multiple 'branches' of this aggregation.

2 If true, each 'branch' strictly follows the rules of this aggregation. If false, each 'branch' might bend the rules a bit. For example, if this is a spatial aggregation, a value of true indicates that objects will not cross the spatial extents defined by this aggregation relationship, and a value of false indicates that objects might cross those bounds. For another example, if this is a time-based aggregation, a value of true indicates that all branches will only contain data valid for the times specified for each branch, and a value of false indicates that the branches have the option of including data that falls outside of the specified time ranges for that branch.
