Superclass

Class

·         <DRM Classification Related Geometry>

Subclass

·         none

Definition

An aggregation of <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instances, organized according to their EDCS Classification Codes (ECCs), such that each component <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance represents:

a. a different thematic layer, or

b. a different classification of <DRM Geometry> instances within a single thematic layer.

Each branch of a <DRM Classification Related Geometry> instance therefore has a <DRM Classification Data> instance associated with it as a link object, specifying its (possibly elaborated) classification.

Example(s)

·         A surface area consisting of forest and water is represented as a <DRM Classification Related Geometry> with strict_organizing_principle set to TRUE, containing two <DRM Union Of Primitive Geometry> components. The first, containing the forest polygons, has a <DRM Classification Data> link object with a tag value of FOREST, while the second, containing the water polygons, has a <DRM Classification Data> link object with a tag value of WATER.

·         In the first example, suppose there exists a road running through the forest. Then replace the forest <DRM Union Of Primitive Geometry> instance with another <DRM Classification Related Geometry> having two branches, one classified as ROAD and the other as FOREST, and the strict_organizing_principle flag mentioned in example one is set to FALSE, because the forest branch at the coarse level contains non-forest (i.e., road) geometry.

Notes

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

2 If true, then each 'branch' strictly follows the rules of this aggregation. If false, then each 'branch' might bend the rules a bit. For example, if this is a spatial aggregation, than 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, then 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.
