Sampling Feature Geo-type Vocabulary ⤴

A vocabulary for describing the geospatial feature type associated with a SamplingFeature. For example, Site SamplingFeatures are represented as points. In ODM2, each SamplingFeature may have only one geospatial type, but a geospatial types may range from simple points to a complex polygons or even three dimensional volumes.

Term Name Definition
lineString Line string A subclass of a Curve using linear interpolation between points. A Curve is a 1-dimensional geometric object usually stored as a sequence of Points. Represented in 2D coordinates by FeatureGeometry.
multiLineString Multi line string A collection of individual lines, used as a single feature. Represented in 2D coordinates by FeatureGeometry.
multiPoint Multi point A collection of individual points, used as a single feature. Represented in 2D coordinates by FeatureGeometry.
multiPolygon Multi polygon A collection of individual polygons, used as a single feature. Represented in 2D coordinates by FeatureGeometry.
notApplicable Not applicable The sampling feature has no applicable geospatial feature type
point Point Topological 0-dimensional geometric primitive representing a position. Represented in 2D coordinates by FeatureGeometry.
polygon Polygon A planar Surface defined by 1 exterior boundary and 0 or more interior boundaries. Each interior boundary defines a hole in the Polygon. Polygons are topologically closed. Polygons are a subclass of Surface that is planar. A Surface is a 2-dimensonal geometric object. Represented in 2D coordinates by FeatureGeometry.
volume Volume A three dimensional space enclosed by some closed boundary.
