INSPIRE feature concepts

The official documentation that composes the spatial plan; it may be composed of the applicable legislation, the regulations, cartographic elements, descriptive elements that may be associated with the complete spatial plan, a zoning element or a supplementary regulation. In some Member States the actual textual regulation will be part of the data set (and can be put in the regulationText attribute), in other Member States the text will not be part of the data set and will be referenced via a reference to a document or a legal act. At least one of the three voidable values shall be provided.

A collection of railway link sequences and or individual railway links that are characterized by one or more thematical identifiers and/or properties.

RailwayLine

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

RailwayLink

A linear spatial object, composed of an ordered collection of railway links, which represents a continuous path in a railway network without any branches. The element has a defined beginning and end and every position on the railway link sequence is identifiable with one single parameter such as length. It describes an element of the railway network, characterized by one or more thematical identifiers and/or properties.

RailwayLinkSequence

A point spatial object which represents a significant point along the railway network or defines an intersection of railway tracks used to describe its connectivity.

RailwayNode

An area spatial object which is used to represent the topographical limits of the facilities of a railway station (buildings, railway yards, installations and equipment) devoted to carry out railway station operations.

RailwayStationArea

The unique code assigned to a railway station.

RailwayStationCode

A railway node which represents the location of a railway station along the railway network.

RailwayStationNode

RailwayUse

An area spatial object which is used to represent the topographical limits of a railway yard.

RailwayYardArea

A railway node which occurs within a railway yard area.

RailwayYardNode
