Name: | geometry-pointGeometryInfo.length-singleValue
Title: | GEM-zI007.LZN-singleValue
Definition: | The dimension of a feature taken along 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, 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.

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.
