Union Of Geometry Topology

Class Name: Union Of Geometry Topology

Superclass - <Geometry Topology Hierarchy>

Subclasses

This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class is a collection of the <Geometry Topology> instances that form a complete topological surface.

Primary Page in DRM Diagram:

Secondary Pages in DRM Diagram:

This class appears on only one page of the DRM class diagram.

Example

  1. A terrain region representing a road network might be broken up into four rectangular tiles. While the <Polygon> instances representing roads are allowed to extend across the tile boundaries, the <Geometry Topology> instances that are located within each tile are organized into separate <Union Of Geometry Topology> instances to support access by spatial location.

FAQs

What is the purpose of this class?

This class allows <Geometry Topology> instances to be grouped in an arbitrary manner. It is used to ensure that all <Geometry Topology> instances, particularly those that are not directly associated with any <Geometry Representation> instance, have at least one containing DRM object.

Notes

Fields Notes

geometry_topology_level

The geometry_topology_level field specifies the level of geometry topology that is present within the hierarchy represented by the <Geometry Topology Hierarchy> instance.
