TouchDownLiftOff

Simple tower object which may carry utility objects belonging to either single or multiple utility networks.

Tower

Indicates the direction of the flow of traffic in relation to the direction of the transport link vector.

TrafficFlowDirection

A scheme which aims at reducing the risk of collision in congested and/or converging areas by separating traffic moving in opposite, or nearly opposite, directions.

TrafficSeparationScheme

An area spatial object forming part of a traffic separation scheme.

TrafficSeparationSchemeArea

A defined area where traffic lanes cross.

TrafficSeparationSchemeCrossing

An area within defined limits in which one-way traffic flow is established.

TrafficSeparationSchemeLane

A traffic separation scheme in which traffic moves in a counter-clockwise direction around a specified point or zone.

TrafficSeparationSchemeRoundabout

A zone separating the lanes in which ships are proceeding in opposite or nearly opposite directions; or separating traffic lanes designated for particular classes of ships proceeding in the same direction.

TrafficSeparationSchemeSeparator

Observation representing the measurement of a property along a meandering curve in time and space.

TrajectoryObservation

Surface that represents the spatial extent of an element of a transport network.

TransportArea

A linear spatial object that describes the geometry and connectivity of a transport network between two points in the network.

TransportLink

A linear spatial object, composed of an ordered collection of transport links, which represents a continuous path in the transport network without any branches. The element has a defined beginning and end and every position on the transport link sequence is identifiable with one single parameter such as length. It describes an element of the transport network, characterized by one or more thematical identifiers and/or properties.

TransportLinkSequence

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

TransportLinkSet

Collection of network elements that belong to a single mode of transport.

TransportNetwork

A point spatial object which is used for connectivity.

TransportNode

An identity base for transport network objects in the real world.

TransportObject

A point spatial object - which is not a node - that represents the position of an element of a transport network.

TransportPoint

A reference to a property that falls upon the network. This property can apply to the whole of the network element it is associated with or - for linear spatial objects - be described using linear referencing.

TransportProperty

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

UpperAltitudeLimit

The restrictions to the use of an air network object.

UseRestriction

A linear spatial object that describes the geometry and connectivity of a utility network between two points in the network.

UtilityLink

A linear spatial object, composed of an ordered collection of utility links, which represents a continuous path in the utility network without any branches. The element has a defined beginning and end and every position on the utility link sequence is identifiable with one single parameter.

UtilityLinkSequence

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

UtilityLinkSet

Collection of network elements that belong to a single type of utility network.

UtilityNetwork

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

UtilityNetworkElement

A point spatial object which is used for connectivity.

UtilityNode

A point spatial object which is used for connectivity, and also may contain other spatial objects (not necessarily belonging to the same utility network).

UtilityNodeContainer

A vector spatial object defining an inferred or observable spatial extent of a resource that can be or has been used as a source of energy.

VectorEnergyResource

Statistical unit represented as a vector geometry (point, line or surface).

VectorStatisticalUnit

Surface that represents the part of a road which is used for the normal traffic of vehicles.

VehicleTrafficArea

Vertical level relative to other transport network elements.

VerticalPosition

Area of the Earth's surface where the elevation model is unknown because of missing input data. This area shall be excluded from a DEM.

VoidArea

Surface water on the landward side of a line, every point of which is at a distance of one nautical mile on the seaward side from the nearest point of the baseline from which the breadth of territorial waters is measured, extending where appropriate up to the outer limit of transitional waters.

WFDCoastalWater

A distinct volume of groundwater within an aquifer or aquifers.

WFDGroundWaterBody

A body of standing inland surface water.

WFDLake

A body of inland water flowing for the most part on the surface of the land but which may flow underground for part of its course.

WFDRiver

Abstract class containing common attributes for a WFD river or lake.

WFDRiverOrLake

A discrete and significant element of surface water.

WFDSurfaceWaterBody

Bodies of surface water in the vicinity of river mouths which are partly saline in character as a result of their proximity to coastal waters but which are substantially influenced by freshwater flows.

WFDTransitionalWater

A linear spatial object, composed of an ordered collection of waterway and/or watercourse links (as necessary), which represents a continuous path in the water network without any branches.

WaterLinkSequence

A point spatial object which is used to represent the connectivity between two different waterway links, or between a waterway link and a watercourse link, in the water transport network.

WaterNode

A water pipe used to convey water from one location to another.

WaterPipe

Indicates the direction of the flow of water transport traffic in relation to the direction of the water transport link vector.

WaterTrafficFlowDirection

The source of water useful for all kinds of activities of the facility site.

WaterManagementInstallation
