Description

Class

  • <DRM Union Of Features>

Superclass

Subclass

  • None.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class is an <DRM Aggregate Feature> instance containing an arbitrary collection of <DRM Feature Representation> instances.

The union_reason field specifies the reason why the given instance of <DRM Union Of Features> was created to organize its components.

The ordering_reason field specifies whether the ordering of the component <DRM Feature Representation> instances of the given <DRM Union Of Features> instance is semantically significant, and if so, what that significance is.

Clarifications

1 An association between two <DRM Feature Representation> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.

2 An association between a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a <DRM Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.

3 An association between a <DRM Property Grid> instance and a <DRM Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) represented by the <DRM Feature Representation> instance and the <DRM Property Grid> instance (or some specific cell data within that <DRM Property Grid> instance) have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship. Each associated <DRM Property Grid> instance will indicate whether the entire <DRM Property Grid> instance or only some specific cell data within it is participating in the relationship in question.

4 An association between two <DRM Feature Representation> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.

5 An association between a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a <DRM Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.

6 An association between a <DRM Property Grid> instance and a <DRM Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) represented by the <DRM Feature Representation> instance and the <DRM Property Grid> instance (or some specific cell data within that <DRM Property Grid> instance) have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship. Each associated <DRM Property Grid> instance will indicate whether the entire <DRM Property Grid> instance or only some specific cell data within it is participating in the relationship in question.

7 This relationship exists to support attributes for derived objects. That is, these components are used only to specify texture mapping information for geometry that is to be derived from the <DRM Aggregate Feature> instance by the consumer. These <DRM Image Mapping Function> instances shall use <DRM Image Anchor> components to specify the mapping.

8 This is needed for cases in which an <DRM Aggregate Feature> instance is significant only for a particular domain, such as radar.
