Descriptions of a soil or rock where the unit is primarily defined by thevalue(s) or a value range of one or more physical or engineering properties. Thecriteria for distinguishing such units may vary depending on the engineeringapplication.
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.
