GEM-zI008.WID-singleValue
|
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.

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.

In the case of multiple features that may be stacked on each other (for example: a
railway on a bridge, a superstructure on a building, or an aerial on a tower) the
highest elevation is that of the entire feature stack. For example, the highest elevation
of a church is that of its steeple and not that of the roof of the church itself.
The church itself may have a height above surface level that excludes the additional
height of the steeple superstructure located on the church roof.

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.

countries have more than one official language and therefore may have an official

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.
