APPENDIX A - Classes
Spatial Index Data

Class Name: Spatial Index Data

Superclass - <SEDRIS Abstract Base>

Subclasses

This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class specifies the (1-based) row and column indices of a cell within a regular spatial relationship of cells. < Spatial Index Data> instances are used within spatial-index-related organizations to distinguish sibling branches of the organizations.

Given the origin of the spatial-index-related organization instance, and the row and column widths defined by that organization instance, the location of any cell is easily determined from its <Spatial Index Data>.
