Feature type: Swamp_P

Package:

Wetlands

Title:

ED020_P

Definition:

A seasonally flooded, poorly drained wetland with more woody plants than a marsh and better drainage than a bog.

Description:

It is covered with water all or most of the year, and accumulating dead vegetation does not rapidly decay. It can exist on flat-lying areas created by certain geomorphic environments. The vegetation mainly consists of hydrophytic trees and/or scrubs whose roots are adapted to wet conditions, with an open to very dense canopy closure. A subtype of the more generalized Feature: 'Wetland'.

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.

Title:

Definition:

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.

Description:

For non-inland water bodies, the water level is usually understood to be Mean Sea Level (MSL). Note that the feature may be supported above the surface by another feature (for example: a tower supported by a building) and as a consequence the value of the Height Above Surface Level is different (larger) than the base-to-top height of the feature (for example: supported tower) itself.

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.
