Schema documentation for component diggs:OrientationObservation

Orientation observations describe the geometry of vectors or planar surfaces encountered at a sampling feature, such as bedding, joints, cross-beds, etc. These observations are designed to characterize regions with generalized geometries. Individual measurements of planar geometries of boundaries or faults are recorded in Discontinuity or Lithology observations.

Annotation

gml:id

required

Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be
unique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object in
the form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is done
by concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the id
attribute.

howDetermined

diggs:DescriptorMethodEnumType

optional

A value that describes the method by which the observation or measurement
was determined.

stratumCode

string

optional

A legacy attribute to support AGS trial pit sampling features
where observations of different stratum may occur at the same depth in a
pit. It is a reference letter or number whose sole purpose is to link
the stratum shown on a face sketch of the trial pit to the specific
observation.

xml:lang

union of(xs:language, restriction of xs:string)

optional

<div>
  <h3>lang (as an attribute name)</h3>
  <p>denotes an attribute whose value is a language code for the natural language of the content of any element; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML specification.</p>

  <p>Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never going to be a realistic possibility.</p>
