ANNEX IU.K. [F1COMMON TYPES, DEFINITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS]

[F26. COVERAGE MODEL U.K.

The INSPIRE coverage model consists of the following packages:

6.1. Coverages (Base) U.K.

6.1.1. Spatial object types U.K.

The package Coverages (Base) contains the spatial object type Coverage.

6.1.1.1. Coverage (Coverage) U.K.

Spatial object that acts as a function to return values from its range for any direct position within its spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal domain.

This type is abstract.

Attributes of the spatial object type Coverage U.K.
Attribute Definition Type Voidability
metadata Application specific metadata of the coverage. Any
rangeType Description of the structure of the range values. RecordType

6.2. Coverages (Domain And Range) U.K.

6.2.1. Spatial object types U.K.

The package Coverages (Domain and Range) contains the following spatial object types:

6.2.1.1. Coverage (Domain And Range Representation) (CoverageByDomainAndRange) U.K.

Coverage which provides the domain and range as separate properties.

This type is a sub-type of Coverage.

This type is abstract.

Attributes of the spatial object type CoverageByDomainAndRange U.K.
Attribute Definition Type Voidability
coverageFunction Description of how range values at locations in the coverage domain can be obtained. CoverageFunction
domainSet Configuration of the domain of the coverage described in terms of coordinates. Any
rangeSet Set of values associated by a function with the elements of the domain of the coverage. Any
Constraints of the spatial object type CoverageByDomainAndRange U.K.

The grid function shall only be valid for domains that are grids.

6.2.1.2. Rectified Grid Coverage (RectifiedGridCoverage) U.K.

Coverage whose domain consists of a rectified grid.

This type is a sub-type of CoverageByDomainAndRange.

Constraints of the spatial object type RectifiedGridCoverage U.K.

The domain shall be a rectified grid.

Grid points of a RectifiedGridCoverage shall coincide with the centres of cells of the geographical grids defined in Section 2.2 of Annex II at any resolution level.

6.2.1.3. Referenceable Grid Coverage (ReferenceableGridCoverage) U.K.

Coverage whose domain consists of a referenceable grid.

This type is a sub-type of CoverageByDomainAndRange.

Constraints of the spatial object type ReferenceableGridCoverage U.K.

The domain shall be a referenceable grid.

6.2.2. Data types U.K.
6.2.2.1. Coverage Function (CoverageFunction) U.K.

Description of how range values at locations in the coverage domain can be obtained.

This type is a union type.

Attributes of the union type CoverageFunction U.K.
Attribute Definition Type Voidability
ruleDefinition A formal or informal description of the coverage function as text. CharacterString
ruleReference A formal or informal description of the coverage function as reference. URI
gridFunction Mapping rule for grid geometries. GridFunction
6.2.2.2. Grid Function (GridFunction) U.K.

An explicit mapping rule for grid geometries.

Attributes of the data type GridFunction U.K.
Attribute Definition Type Voidability
sequenceRule Description of how the grid points are ordered for association to the elements of the values in the range set of the coverage. CV_SequenceRule
startPoint The grid point to be associated with the first record in the range set of the coverage. Integer ]
