Class FeatureType

Namespace

EncDotNet.S100.Features

Assembly

EncDotNet.S100.Features.dll

A feature type from the Feature Catalogue: a class of real-world phenomenon (e.g. a depth area or a light) whose instances are normally located by geometry (see PermittedPrimitives), parsed from S100_FC_FeatureTypes/S100_FC_FeatureType. It binds attributes via AttributeBindings and relates to other types via FeatureBindings and InformationBindings. Compare InformationType, which has no geometry.

Properties

Alias

Alternative name (alias), typically the legacy S-57 acronym; null when absent.

public string? Alias { get; init; }

Property Value

string

AttributeBindings

Attributes declared directly on this feature type (attributeBinding), in catalogue order; bindings inherited from SuperType are not merged in.

public IReadOnlyList<AttributeBinding> AttributeBindings { get; init; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<AttributeBinding>

Code

Code that identifies the feature type in the catalogue and in datasets (code), e.g. "DepthArea"; the key other catalogue entries use to reference it.

public required string Code { get; init; }

Property Value

string

Definition

Prose definition of the feature type (definition), or null when the catalogue omits it.

public string? Definition { get; init; }

Property Value

string

FeatureBindings

Feature associations this feature type may take part in (featureBinding), in catalogue order.

public IReadOnlyList<FeatureBinding> FeatureBindings { get; init; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<FeatureBinding>

FeatureUseType

Category of use (featureUseType), e.g. "geographic", "meta", "cartographic" or "theme"; null when absent.

public string? FeatureUseType { get; init; }

Property Value

string

InformationBindings

Information associations this feature type may take part in (informationBinding), in catalogue order.

public IReadOnlyList<InformationBinding> InformationBindings { get; init; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<InformationBinding>

IsAbstract

true when the element's isAbstract XML attribute is "true"; abstract types serve only as a superType for others and have no instances.

public bool IsAbstract { get; init; }

Property Value

bool

Name

Human-readable name of the feature type (name), e.g. "Depth Area".

public required string Name { get; init; }

Property Value

string

PermittedPrimitives

Spatial primitives instances may use (permittedPrimitives), e.g. "point", "curve", "surface" or "noGeometry". Empty when none are declared.

public IReadOnlyList<string> PermittedPrimitives { get; init; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<string>

Remarks

Additional explanatory remarks (remarks), or null when absent.

public string? Remarks { get; init; }

Property Value

string

SuperType

The code of the super type, if any.

public string? SuperType { get; init; }

Property Value

string
