Class <<FeatureType>> GeomorphologicFeature (extends GeologicFeature )

A feature describing the shape and nature of the Earth's land surface (ie, a landform). These landforms may be created by natural Earth processes (eg, river channel, beach, moraine, mountain) or through human (anthropogenic) activity (eg, dredged channel, reclaimed land, mine waste dumps).

Attributes

Name Type Bounds From Class Notes
observationMethod Category 1..* GeologicFeature Feature ObservationMethod specifies the approach to acquiring the collection of attribute values that constitute an individual feature instance (e.g. point count, brunton compass on site, air photo interpretation, field observation, hand specimen, laboratory, aerial photography, creative imagination). ObservationMethod is a convenience property that provides a quick and dirty approach to observation metadata when data are reported using a feature view (as opposed to observation view). For a borehole, the GeologicFeature observation method specifies how the geologic properties were determined (eg, visual observation, or standard AzGS logging procedure (described in detail somewhere else)). This property corresponds (loosely) to ISO19115 Lineage.

Tag Value Notes
byValuePropertyType false Values: false
Default: false
Description: Create a property type that requires that the instance is encoded inline (applies to ISO 19136:2007 encoding rule). Always set to false in INSPIRE.
isCollection false Values: true | false
Default: false
Description: Identifies the feature type as a feature collection.
noPropertyType false Values: false
Default: false
Description: Surpress creation of a standard property type that supports inline or by-reference encoding (applies to ISO 19136:2007 encoding rule). Always set to false in INSPIRE.
