Constraints

Clarifications

1 If this value is TRUE, each “descendant” of this aggregation - that is, each <DRM Geometry> instance that exists in the component tree rooted at the given <DRM Aggregate Geometry> - shall be unique, in the sense that it shall appear in only one “branch” of this aggregation. If unique_descendants is FALSE, at least one <DRM Geometry> instance appears in more than one “branch” of the aggregation.

2 If this value is TRUE, each “branch” of this aggregation strictly complies with the organizing principle for its particular subclass. If this value is FALSE, at least one “branch” does not strictly comply with the given organizing principle. See the organizing principle constraint for each specific subclass for details.

3 An association between a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a <DRM Feature> instance indicates that the <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> and the <DRM Feature> are alternate representations of the same environmental object.

4 An association between two <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instances indicates that they are alternate representations of the same environmental object.

5 An association from a <DRM Hierarchy Summary Item> instance to a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <DRM Hierarchy Summary Item> summarizes that <DRM Geometry Hierarchy>.

6 An association from a <DRM Reference Surface> instance to a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> organizes the geometric objects that specify the resolution surface of the <DRM Reference Surface>.

7 In the case where multiple <DRM Collision Volume> components are specified for a given <DRM Aggregate Geometry>, the union of the volumes thus specified is used in collision detection.
