¶ Description of the elements
See the list of abbreviations here
| Element Element type |
Use | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dcc:positionCoordinateSystem dcc:notEmptyStringType |
[M] | The system which was used to determine the position coordinates. |
| dcc:reference dcc:notEmptyStringType |
[O] | Reference more information |
| dcc:declaration dcc:richContentType |
[O] | Declaration of the position coordinates. |
| dcc:positionCoordinate1 si:realQuantityType |
[M] | First dimension of position coordinates. |
| dcc:positionCoordinate2 si:realQuantityType |
[M] | Second dimension of position coordinates. |
| dcc:positionCoordinate3 si:realQuantityType |
[O] | Third dimension of position coordinates. (Not needed with 2D coordinates) |
| dcc:link xs:anyURI |
[O] | External link to position coordinates. |
¶ Attributes
| Attribute Attribute type |
Use | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id xs:ID |
[ O] | This default XMLdataType is used to represent a unique ID. It is used to uniquely identify the object in the DCC. The data type xs:ID is deliberately used here, as this enables validation without any add-ons in various tools. |
| refId xs:IDREF |
[ O] | IDREF represents the IDREF attribute type from [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. The value space of IDREF is the set of all strings that match NCNameproduction in [Namespaces in XML]. The lexical space of IDREF is the set of strings that match NCNameproduction in [Namespaces in XML]. The base type of IDREF is NCName. |
| refType dcc:refTypesType |
[O] | A list of refTypes in XML. |
