AbstractRiskZone

A restriction on the access to a transport element.

AccessRestriction

A well influencing the groundwater resources of the aquifer.

ActiveWell

A single unit, both technically and economically, under the management control of a legal entity (operator), covering activities as those listed in the Eurostat NACE classification established by Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council . Activity Complex must represent the whole area, at the same or different geographical location, managed by the same operator including all infrastructure, equipment and materials.

ActivityComplex

An identification of the fixed location of property by means of a structured composition of geographic names and identifiers.

Address

An address component which represents the name of a geographic area or locality that groups a number of addressable objects for addressing purposes, without being an administrative unit.

AddressAreaName

Identifier or geographic name of a specific geographic area, location, or other spatial object which defines the scope of an address.

AddressComponent

A line of demarcation between administrative units.

AdministrativeBoundary

Unit of administration where a Member State has and/or exercises jurisdictional rights, for local, regional and national governance.

AdministrativeUnit

An address component which represents the name of a unit of administration where a Member State has and/or exercises jurisdictional rights, for local, regional and national governance.

AdminUnitName

A defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft and/or helicopters.

AerodromeArea

Aerodrome category concerning the scope and importance of the air traffic services offered from and to it.

AerodromeCategory

Node located at the aerodrome reference point of an airport/heliport, which is used to represent it in a simplified way.

AerodromeNode

A code specifying the type of aerodrome.

AerodromeType

Mosaic element relating to several input images that share the same acquisition time at a given level of definition (e.g. day, month).

AggregatedMosaicElement

A building used for agricultural or aquaculture activities.

AgriBuilding

A linear spatial object that describes the geometry and connectivity of the air network between two points in the network.

AirLink

A linear spatial object, composed of an ordered collection of air links, which represents a continuous path in the air network without any branches.

AirLinkSequence

A node which occurs in an air network.

AirNode

A specified route designed for channelling the flow of traffic as necessary for the provision of air traffic services, from the end of the take-off and initial climb phase to the commencement of the approach and landing phase.

AirRoute

A portion of a route to be flown usually without an intermediate stop, as defined by two consecutive significant points.

AirRouteLink

A defined volume in the air, described as horizontal projection with vertical limits.

AirspaceArea

A geomorphologic feature (i.e., landform) which has been created by human activity.

AnthropogenicGeomorphologicFeature

An appurtenance is a node object that is described by its type (via the attribute appurtenanceType).

Appurtenance

A defined area, on a land aerodrome/heliport, intended to accommodate aircraft/helicopters for purposes of loading and unloading passengers, mail or cargo, and for fuelling, parking or maintenance.

ApronArea

A technical unit or a delimited area operated by the same owner of the (aquaculture) holding, where one or more activities listed in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 are carried out.

AquacultureInstallation

An impermeable body of rock or stratum of sediment that acts as a barrier to the flow of groundwater.

Aquiclude

A wet underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, silt, or clay) from which groundwater can be usefully extracted using a water well.

Aquifer

A collection of aquifers and aquitards, which together constitute the environment of groundwater - "communicating vessels", that are filled or can be filled with water.

AquiferSystem

A saturated, but poorly permeable bed that impedes groundwater movement.

Aquitard

Vector statistical unit with a surfacic reference geometry.

AreaStatisticalUnit

The line from which the outer limits of the territorial sea and certain other outer limits are measured.

Baseline

The basic unit of ownership that is recorded in the land books, land registers or equivalent. It is defined by unique ownership and homogeneous real property rights, and may consist of one or more adjacent or geographically separate parcels.

BasicPropertyUnit

A prominent specially constructed object forming a conspicuous mark as a fixed aid to navigation, or for use in hydrographic survey.

Beacon

An area in which there are relatively homogeneous ecological conditions with common characteristics.

Bio-geographicalRegion

A biomarker (of exposure) is the concentration of a chemical, its metabolite or the product of an interaction between a chemical and some target molecule or cell that is measured in a compartment in an organism.

Biomarker

A borehole is the generalized term for any narrow shaft drilled in the ground.

Borehole

A line of a critical nature which describes the shape of an elevation surface and indicates a discontinuity in the slope of the surface (i.e. an abrupt change in gradient). Triangles included within a TIN model must never cross it.

BreakLine

A Building is an enclosed construction above and/or underground, used or intended for the shelter of humans, animals or things or for the production of economic goods. A building refers to any structure permanently constructed or erected on its site.

Building

A BuildingPart is a sub-division of a Building that might be considered itself as a building.

BuildingPart

A floating object moored to the bottom in a particular (charted) place, as an aid to navigation or for other specific purposes.

Buoy
