Table 6.297—DRM_Time_Related_Features

Property

Description

Superclass

·         <DRM Aggregate Feature>

Class

·         <DRM Time Related Features>

Subclass

·         none

Definition

An object of this DRM class specifies an aggregation of <DRM Feature Hierarchy>s that are differentiated by the <DRM Time Constraints Data> link objects attached to the aggregation relationships used to reach the <DRM Feature Hierarchy> instances.

Example(s)

·         Consider a <DRM Model> of a deciduous tree. The color of the tree's leaves depends on the time of year, or season. Consequently, a data provider might organize a tree <DRM Model> using a <DRM Time Related Features> along the following lines. (Only the fall (a.k.a. autumn) representation of the <DRM Model> is shown).

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.

3 Provided to support "attributes for derived objects.” That is, these components are used only to specify texture mapping information for geometry that is derived from the <DRM Feature> by the consumer. These <DRM Image Mapping Functions> shall use <DRM Image Anchor> components to specify the mapping.

4 This is needed because in many cases, an <Aggregate Feature> may be significant only for a particular domain, e.g. radar.
