[Geotools-devel] Feature Collection == OGC Topic 10 ?? ; Feature model

[Bryce L N. <bno...@fs...>]

Quick question:

Is FeatureCollection (et. al.) an attempt to implement OGC Topic 10 by the
same name, or is it basically a naming coincidence?

I'm having difficulties seeing parallels, but Topic 10 is pretty sparse.

Oh, I finally got around to reading 19110 (Feature Catalogs).  Man am I
irritated at myself for not doing that sooner.  In our parlance, it
specifies how to describe features with a class structure (e.g. represent a
schema).

The good news is that it directly "realizes" 19109, so the feature model
should be in good shape.  I think we just need to add a top-level object
called FeatureCatalog which has some housekeeping data and a
Collection<FeatureType>.  We should be able to add Martin's @UML tags to
map specific classes and attributes directly to something specified in
19110.
