The gml:identifier value of the referenced feature, as a fully qualifiedvalue. It gives an alternative to the gml:id in xlink:href for findingthe referenced feature, mainly to reference a feature by a globallyunique identifier and where naming conflicts occur with gml:id whenaccessing data in external files.

SLS or ULS. It governs neutralPlaneDepth andmaxAxialForceAtNeutralPlane in particular, but is stated once forthe instance because a single analysis run is normally computedunder one limit state. Values come from the enumerated list, or"Other: xx", where xx is a user-defined term whose meaning differsfrom every listed value (not a synonym of one).

How downdrag was accounted for in the axial analysis of this unit:the neutral-plane method, downdrag folded into a limit-strengthcheck rather than located at a computed plane, engineeringexperience, or not considered. It governs negativeSkinFrictionLimit,neutralPlaneDepth and maxAxialForceAtNeutralPlane in the same waylimitState does, and is stated once per instance for the samereason: two designs reporting the same neutral-plane depth arrivedat by different treatments are not comparable. It is declared onthis per-unit type, and not only on diggs:RIProgramBasisType,because the values it qualifies live here and aconditionalElementXpath predicate can see only local containment,not the target of a basisRef. Use the DIGGS dictionarydowndragTreatment.xml for the list of values.

q_s: the limiting downdrag shear stress above the neutral plane.Mind the sign convention: it is the opposite sense fromshaftResistance, the positive shaft resistance below the neutralplane, for the same physical interface.
The unit of measure for pressure, stress, or elastic modulus.

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.
