INSPIRE feature concepts

A raster representation for Land Cover data.

LandCoverGridCoverage

An individual element of the Land Cover data set represented by a point or surface.

LandCoverUnit

The line where a land mass is in contact with a body of water.

LandWaterBoundary

Curvilinear network element that connects two positions and represents a homogeneous path in the network. The connected positions may be represented as nodes.

Link

A network element which represents a continuous path in the network without any branches. The element has a defined beginning and end and every position on the link sequence is identifiable with one single parameter such as length.

LinkSequence

A collection of link sequences and/or individual links that has a specific function or significance in a network.

LinkSet

An enclosure with a pair or series of gates used for raising or lowering vessels as they pass from one water level to another.

Lock

Altitude that defines the lower limit of an air transport network object.

LowerAltitudeLimit

The authority responsible for maintenance of the transport element.

MaintenanceAuthority

A man-made hydrogeological object.

HydrogeologicalObjectManMade

An artificial object which lies inside a body of water and has one of the following types of function: - Retains the water; - Regulates the quantity of water; - Alters the course of the water; - Allows watercourses to cross each other.

ManMadeObject

Area managed, restricted or regulated in accordance with a legal requirement related to an environmental policy or a policy or activity that may have an impact on the environment at any level of administration (international, European, national, regional and local).

ManagementRestrictionOrRegulationZone

Simple container object which may contain either single or multiple utility networks objects.

Manhole

A spatial representation of a GeologicFeature.

MappedFeature

A special kind of a mapped feature whose shape is a 1-D interval and which uses the spatial reference system of the containing borehole.

MappedInterval

A sea area defined by its physical and chemical circulation patterns. Typically used for management and reporting of the marine environment or marine environmental classification.

MarineCirculationZone

A set of isolines representing the value of some phenomenon at a particular time.

MarineContour

A Marine Layer describes any layer that may cover any part of a sea surface or sea bottom.

MarineLayer

Waterway which is defined at sea waters.

MarineWaterway

A line depicting the separation of any type of maritime jurisdiction.

MaritimeBoundary

A belt of sea defined by international treaties and conventions, where coastal State executes jurisdictional rights.

MaritimeZone

Reference marker placed along a route in a transport network, mostly at regular intervals, indicating the distance from the beginning of the route, or some other reference point, to the point where the marker is located.

MarkerPost

An excavation carried out for the extraction of mineral deposits.

Mine

A mineral accumulation in the lithosphere.

MineralOccurrence

The process of extracting metallic, non-metallic mineral or industrial rock deposits from the Earth.

MiningActivity

Spatial object type grouping the common properties of mines and mining activities.

MiningFeature

A spatial representation of a MiningFeature.

MiningFeatureOccurrence

Abstract type identifying both the contributing area and the acquisition time of one or several input images used to generate a mosaicked orthoimage coverage.

MosaicElement

Observation that represents a set of measurements all made at exactly the same time but at different locations.

MultiPointObservation

Territorial unit for statistics defined in the framework of the Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003.

NUTSRegion

Any real world entity referred to by one or several proper nouns.

NamedPlace

A geomorphologic feature (i.e. landform) that has been created by natural Earth processes.

NaturalGeomorphologicFeature

Hydrogeological object which was created by natural processes.

HydrogeologicalObjectNatural

One or more Navaid Equipments providing navigation services.

Navaid

A network is a collection of network elements.

Network

A 2-dimensional element in a network.

NetworkArea

Represents a logical connection between two or more network elements in different networks.

NetworkConnection

Abstract base type representing an element in a network. Every element in a network provides some function that is of interest in the network.

NetworkElement

Abstract base type representing phenomena located at or along a network element. This base type provides general properties to associate the network-related phenomena (network properties) with the network elements.

NetworkProperty

Represents a significant position in the network that always occurs at the beginning or the end of a link.

Node

The nominal distance between the two outer rails (gauge) of a railway track.

NominalTrackGauge

The number of lanes of a road element.

NumberOfLanes

The number of tracks for a railway stretch.

NumberOfTracks

Application Schema for Observable Properties

ObservableProperties

Links a set of Observations.

ObservationSet

Discrete spatial objects representing natural phenomenon relevant to the study of natural hazards which occurred, or is currently occurring, and which has been observed.

ObservedEvent

A coverage representing continuous information about observed events.

ObservedEventCoverage

A representation of a soil profile found on a specific location which is described on the basis of observations in a trial pit or with a borehole.

ObservedSoilProfile

Explicit capability of an AbstractMonitoringObject.
