A linear sampling feature that records the geographic location of ageophysical survey that can be modeled as a single linestring - such as aground-surface transect, marine trackline, or airborne flightline, where receivers(and optionally source devices) are placed on or moved along the track. This differsfrom the more general Transect sampling feature insofar as its use impliesassociation with a GeophysicalFieldSurvey measurement as well as possibly beingassociated with other GP_Trackline features as part of a GP_Multitrack samplingfeature. As with all linear sampling features, the geometry is specified by thecenterline property using 2D or 3D coordinates within a known geographic orprojected coordinate system. Allthough not required, where possible the centerlinevertices should occur at specific receiver locations where measurements are obtainedor at measurement locations for a receiver that is moving along the track (orderedin the direction of movement).
Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to beunique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object inthe form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is doneby concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the idattribute.
