The name by which this coordinate operation is identified. A mathematical operation on coordinates that transforms or converts coordinates to another coordinate reference system. Many but not all coordinate operations (from CRS A to CRS B) also uniquely define the inverse operation (from CRS B to CRS A). In some cases, the operation method algorithm for the inverse operation is the same as for the forward algorithm, but the signs of some operation parameter values must be reversed. In other cases, different algorithms are required for the forward and inverse operations, but the same operation parameter values are used. If (some) entirely different parameter values are needed, a different coordinate operation shall be defined. Set of alternative identifications of this coordinate operation. The first coordinateOperationID, if any, is normally the primary identification code, and any others are aliases. Comments on or information about this coordinate operation, including source information. An identification of a coordinate operation. Version of the coordinate transformation (i.e., instantiation due to the stochastic nature of the parameters). Mandatory when describing a transformation, and should not be supplied for a conversion. Association to the source CRS (coordinate reference system) of this coordinate operation. Association to the target CRS (coordinate reference system) of this coordinate operation. For constraints on multiplicity of "sourceCRS" and "targetCRS", see UML model of Coordinate Operation package in OGC Abstract Specification topic 2. Association to a coordinate operation, either referencing or containing the definition of that coordinate operation. A single (not concatenated) coordinate operation. A parameterized mathematical operation on coordinates that transforms or converts coordinates to another coordinate reference system. This coordinate operation uses an operation method, usually with associated parameter values. However, operation methods and parameter values are directly associated with concrete subtypes, not with this abstract type. This abstract complexType shall not be directly used, extended, or restricted in a compliant Application Schema. An ordered sequence of two or more single coordinate operations. The sequence of operations is constrained by the requirement that the source coordinate reference system of step (n+1) must be the same as the target coordinate reference system of step (n). The source coordinate reference system of the first step and the target coordinate reference system of the last step are the source and target coordinate reference system associated with the concatenated operation. Instead of a forward operation, an inverse operation may be used for one or more of the operation steps mentioned above, if the inverse operation is uniquely defined by the forward operation. Ordered sequence of associations to the two or more single operations used by this concatenated operation. Association to a single operation. Association to a single operation, either referencing or containing the definition of that single operation. A pass-through operation specifies that a subset of a coordinate tuple is subject to a specific coordinate operation. Ordered sequence of positive integers defining the positions in a coordinate tuple of the coordinates affected by this pass-through operation. A positive integer defining a position in a coordinate tuple. Association to the operation applied to the specified ordinates. Association to an abstract operation, either referencing or containing the definition of that operation. An abstract operation on coordinates that usually includes a change of Datum. The parameters of a coordinate transformation are empirically derived from data containing the coordinates of a series of points in both coordinate reference systems. This computational process is usually "over-determined", allowing derivation of error (or accuracy) estimates for the transformation. Also, the stochastic nature of the parameters may result in multiple (different) versions of the same coordinate transformation. This abstract complexType is expected to be extended for well-known operation methods with many Transformation instances, in Application Schemas that define operation-method-specialized value element names and contents. This transformation uses an operation method with associated parameter values. However, operation methods and parameter values are directly associated with concrete subtypes, not with this abstract type. All concrete types derived from this type shall extend this type to include a "usesMethod" element that references one "OperationMethod" element. Similarly, all concrete types derived from this type shall extend this type to include one or more elements each named "uses...Value" that each use the type of an element substitutable for the "_generalParameterValue" element. A concrete operation on coordinates that usually includes a change of datum. The parameters of a coordinate transformation are empirically derived from data containing the coordinates of a series of points in both coordinate reference systems. This computational process is usually "over-determined", allowing derivation of error (or accuracy) estimates for the transformation. Also, the stochastic nature of the parameters may result in multiple (different) versions of the same coordinate transformation. This concrete complexType can be used for all operation methods, without using an Application Schema that defines operation-method-specialized element names and contents, especially for methods with only one Transformation instance. Unordered set of composition associations to the set of parameter values used by this transformation operation. Association to the operation method used by this coordinate operation. Composition association to a parameter value used by this coordinate operation. Abstract parameter value or group of parameter values. This abstract complexType is expected to be extended and restricted for well-known operation methods with many instances, in Application Schemas that define operation-method-specialized element names and contents. Specific parameter value elements are directly contained in concrete subtypes, not in this abstract type. All concrete types derived from this type shall extend this type to include one "...Value" element with an appropriate type, which should be one of the element types allowed in the ParameterValueType. In addition, all derived concrete types shall extend this type to include a "valueOfParameter" element that references one element substitutable for the "OperationParameter" element. A parameter value, ordered sequence of values, or reference to a file of parameter values. This concrete complexType can be used for operation methods without using an Application Schema that defines operation-method-specialized element names and contents, especially for methods with only one instance. This complexType can be used, extended, or restricted for well-known operation methods, especially for methods with many instances. Numeric value of an operation parameter, with its associated unit of measure. String value of an operation parameter. A string value does not have an associated unit of measure. Positive integer value of an operation parameter, usually used for a count. An integer value does not have an associated unit of measure. Boolean value of an operation parameter. A Boolean value does not have an associated unit of measure. Ordered sequence of two or more numeric values of an operation parameter list, where each value has the same associated unit of measure. An element of this type contains a space-separated sequence of double values. Ordered sequence of two or more integer values of an operation parameter list, usually used for counts. These integer values do not have an associated unit of measure. An element of this type contains a space-separated sequence of integer values. Reference to a file or a part of a file containing one or more parameter values, each numeric value with its associated unit of measure. When referencing a part of a file, that file must contain multiple identified parts, such as an XML encoded document. Furthermore, the referenced file or part of a file can reference another part of the same or different files, as allowed in XML documents. Association to the operation parameter that this is a value of. Basic encoding for operation method objects, simplifying and restricting the DefinitionType as needed. The name by which this operation method is identified. Definition of an algorithm used to perform a coordinate operation. Most operation methods use a number of operation parameters, although some coordinate conversions use none. Each coordinate operation using the method assigns values to these parameters. Set of alternative identifications of this operation method. The first methodID, if any, is normally the primary identification code, and any others are aliases. Comments on or information about this operation method, including source information. Unordered list of associations to the set of operation parameters and parameter groups used by this operation method. An identification of an operation method. Formula(s) used by this operation method. The value may be a reference to a publication. Note that the operation method may not be analytic, in which case this element references or contains the procedure, not an analytic formula. Number of dimensions in the source CRS of this operation method. Number of dimensions in the target CRS of this operation method. Association to an operation parameter or parameter group used by this operation method. Association to a concrete general-purpose operation method, either referencing or containing the definition of that method.
