|
Definition:

The dimension of a feature taken along its primary alignment of use and generally

|
Description:
|
The primary alignment of a feature is its established direction of flow or use (for
example: a road, a power line, a river, a rapid, and/or a bridge). A feature-specific
rule may apply. In the case of a bridge, the length is the distance between the bridge
abutments along the bridge centreline. In the case of a dam, the length is the distance
along the dam crest. If no established direction of flow or use exists then (1) if
the feature is irregular in shape its length is its greatest horizontal dimension
(see Attribute: 'Greatest Horizontal Extent'), else (2) if the feature is regular
in shape then a shape-specific rule may apply: for a rectangular feature, the length
of the longer axis; for a round feature, the diameter.

|
Definition:
|
The dimension of a feature taken perpendicular to its primary alignment of use and
generally in the horizontal plane.
|
Description:
|
The primary alignment of a feature is its established direction of flow or use (for
example: a road, a power line right-of-way, a river, rapid, and/or a bridge). A feature-specific
rule may apply. In the case of a bridge, the width is the distance perpendicular to
the bridge centre-line and generally in the horizontal plane. In the case of a dam,
the width is the distance perpendicular to (across the) the dam crest. If no such
direction of flow or use exists then (1) if the feature is irregular in shape its
width is taken perpendicular to the direction of its greatest horizontal dimension
(see Attribute: 'Greatest Horizontal Extent'), else (2) if the feature is regular
in shape then a shape-specific rule may apply: for a rectangular feature, the length
of the shorter axis; for a round feature, the diameter.

|
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.

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.

The main street pattern is a series of somewhat evenly spaced, increasingly large
circles around a central point; side streets connecting to the circles tend to be
unevenly spaced and to connect only a few of the circles instead of radiating out
continuously from the center.
|
contourConforming
|
17
The majority of the somewhat evenly spaced streets follow the contour of the land,
staying near the same elevation throughout.
Usually found in urban areas on steep slopes where a few steep and sharply twisting
side streets connect the paralleling contour streets.
|

18
The majority of the streets follow the contour of the land, staying near the same
elevation throughout, however they are unevenly or widely spaced from each other.
Usually found in urban areas on steep slopes where a few steep and sharply twisting
side streets connect the paralleling contour streets.
|
curvilinear
|
4
The streets follow a planned pattern of curves and irregularities designed to discourage
through traffic and ensure increased privacy.
Usually only found in residential neighborhoods.
|
irregularCanals
|
16
The main thoroughfare areas are a series of irregularly organized unevenly spaced
canals.
|
linear
|
13
There is a single main street perhaps with a short paralleling side street, or it
stretches out in both directions along two main intersecting roads (in outline configured
as a cross).
Sometimes referred to a strip development and common on the edge of expanding urban
areas or in rural areas where the main thoroughfare or intersecting roads are the
only ones paved or otherwise improved.
|
medievalAndIrregular
|
19
The streets extend in an irregular pattern from the center reflecting the historic
pattern of development, often centred by a church or fortress.
Usually found in the center of older urban areas.

The streets tend to radiate out from a central point in an unevenly spaced pattern
in all directions similar to the spokes of a wheel; side streets connecting to the
radials tend to be unevenly spaced and to connect only a few of the radials instead
of going completely around.

The streets tend to radiate out from a central point in a somewhat evenly spaced pattern

of going completely around.
|
rectangularButIrregular
|
3
The streets form a discontinuous intersecting grid pattern of approximately regularly
spaced lines at right angles to each other.
Street discontinuities are often created to form small urban parks, or to discourage
through-traffic in a residential neighborhood; the consequence is blocky irregularities
in the overall pattern.

The main thoroughfare areas are a series of regularly spaced canals, similar to the
regular street pattern.

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.
