The name of the method, which fixes how distances are measured: theunit, the origin and whether lateral offsets apply. Values come fromthe enumerated list, or "Other: xx", where xx is a user-defined termwhose meaning differs from every listed value (not a synonym ofone).

The direction in which measured values increase along the linearelement. Measurement always proceeds from the first to the lastcoordinate; the values other than increasing are labels that saywhat that direction means, for example downward for a borehole.Values come from the enumerated list.
Positive follows the coordinate order, from the first to the lastcoordinate. This is the standard convention.
enumeration
downward
Label for positive being downward (deeper), common for boreholes where thefirst coordinate is the collar and the last is the bottom of the hole.
enumeration
upward
Label for positive being upward (shallower), for example for core loggedfrom bottom to top, or for elevation-based referencing.
enumeration
forward
Label for horizontal features: positive is the forward direction of thesurvey or alignment, common for transects, pipelines and tracklines.

The parameters of the lateral offset, for methods that support one,for example for transects, tracklines with swath data, pipelineswith offset monitoring points, or trial pits with offset samplinglocations. When present, the method is two-dimensional: a linearspatial reference system using it has srsDimension 2 and a positionis encoded in gml:pos as the distance along, in units, then theoffset, in offsetParameters/offsetUnits. When absent, the method isone-dimensional: srsDimension is 1 and a position is the distancealone.

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.
