Annotations
Base type for all point sampling features - discrete locations wheresamples are collected or measurements made. Point sampling features representzero-dimensional sampling positions at the scale of the investigation. Examplesinclude CPT soundings, groundwater monitoring points, surface soil sample locations,and probe test positions. While these features may have physical dimensions (e.g., amonitoring well has a diameter), they are treated as points because their spatialextent is negligible compared to the investigation area. Point features arecharacterized by a single location coordinate.
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.
