These barriers are normally left open to allow for the passage of vessels and the movement of water and are closed during times of floods or storm surges. For example, the Thames Barrier.

Description: | A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map, regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in Spanish.

Title: | ISDES_2.LAN
Definition: | The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 639-3) three character code that designates the language or macrolanguage of the source of a geographic name.
Description: | A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map, regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in Spanish.

Title: | ISDES_2.MON
Definition: | An indication that a feature has more than one official, native script, geographic name.
Description: | Multiple official names may exist when a feature passes through more than one country and those multiple countries have different official names for that feature. Some countries have more than one official language and therefore may have an official name for a feature in each official language.

dismantled | 5 The man-made structure has undergone a systematic selective removal of components. Low value components and/or equipment may remain. The man-made structure cannot be repaired without a great deal of time and effort.
destroyed | 6 The man-made structure has undergone complete destruction and is in a state of total disrepair. Destruction may be a consequence of military action, natural disaster, planned demolition or a long period of no maintenance. A destroyed man-made structure can only be restored by complete reconstruction.

Title: | UFI
Definition: | The globally unique and persistent identifier of an entity (for example: feature or event) instance as specified by a Uniform Resource Name (URN) in accordance with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC2396 and RFC2141.
Description: | It is based on the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), a compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource. The term 'Uniform Resource Name' (URN) refers to the subset of URI that are required to remain globally unique and persistent even when the resource ceases to exist or becomes unavailable. The URN is drawn from one of a set of defined namespaces, each of which has its own set name structure and assignment procedures.
