geometryAggregates.xsd See ISO/DIS 19136 12.3. Geometric aggregates (i.e. instances of a subtype of gml:AbstractGeometricAggregateType) are arbitrary aggregations of geometry elements. They are not assumed to have any additional internal structure and are used to "collect" pieces of geometry of a specified type. Application schemas may use aggregates for features that use multiple geometric objects in their representations. GML is an OGC Standard. Copyright (c) 2007,2010 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.

The members of the geometric aggregate may be specified either using the "standard" property (gml:geometryMember) or the array property (gml:geometryMembers). It is also valid to use both the "standard" and the array properties in the same collection. This property element either references a geometry element via the XLink-attributes or contains the geometry element. This property element contains a list of geometry elements. The order of the elements is significant and shall be preserved when processing the array. A property that has a geometric aggregate as its value domain may either be an appropriate geometry element encapsulated in an element of this type or an XLink reference to a remote geometry element (where remote includes geometry elements located elsewhere in the same document). Either the reference or the contained element shall be given, but neither both nor none. A gml:MultiPoint consists of one or more gml:Points. The members of the geometric aggregate may be specified either using the "standard" property (gml:pointMember) or the array property (gml:pointMembers). It is also valid to use both the "standard" and the array properties in the same collection. This property element either references a Point via the XLink-attributes or contains the Point element. This property element contains a list of points. The order of the elements is significant and shall be preserved when processing the array. A property that has a collection of points as its value domain may either be an appropriate geometry element encapsulated in an element of this type or an XLink reference to a remote geometry element (where remote includes geometry elements located elsewhere in the same document). Either the reference or the contained element shall be given, but neither both nor none. A gml:MultiCurve is defined by one or more gml:AbstractCurves. The members of the geometric aggregate may be specified either using the "standard" property (gml:curveMember) or the array property (gml:curveMembers). It is also valid to use both the "standard" and the array properties in the same collection. This property element contains a list of curves. The order of the elements is significant and shall be preserved when processing the array. A property that has a collection of curves as its value domain may either be an appropriate geometry element encapsulated in an element of this type or an XLink reference to a remote geometry element (where remote includes geometry elements located elsewhere in the same document). Either the reference or the contained element shall be given, but neither both nor none. A gml:MultiSurface is defined by one or more gml:AbstractSurfaces. The members of the geometric aggregate may be specified either using the "standard" property (gml:surfaceMember) or the array property (gml:surfaceMembers). It is also valid to use both the "standard" and the array properties in the same collection. This property element contains a list of surfaces. The order of the elements is significant and shall be preserved when processing the array. A property that has a collection of surfaces as its value domain may either be an appropriate geometry element encapsulated in an element of this type or an XLink reference to a remote geometry element (where remote includes geometry elements located elsewhere in the same document). Either the reference or the contained element shall be given, but neither both nor none. A gml:MultiSolid is defined by one or more gml:AbstractSolids. The members of the geometric aggregate may be specified either using the "standard" property (gml:solidMember) or the array property (gml:solidMembers). It is also valid to use both the "standard" and the array properties in the same collection. This property element either references a solid via the XLink-attributes or contains the solid element. A solid element is any element, which is substitutable for gml:AbstractSolid. This property element contains a list of solids. The order of the elements is significant and shall be preserved when processing the array. A property that has a collection of solids as its value domain may either be an appropriate geometry element encapsulated in an element of this type or an XLink reference to a remote geometry element (where remote includes geometry elements located elsewhere in the same document). Either the reference or the contained element shall be given, but neither both nor none.
