Several GML Schema components concern or require a reference scale or units of measure. Units are required for quantities that may occur as values of properties of feature types, as the results of observations, in the range parameters of a coverage, and for measures used in Coordinate Reference System definitions.
|
|
7
|
The basic unit definition is an extension of the general gml:Definition element defined in 16.2.1. Three specialized elements for unit definition are further derived from this.
|
|
8
|
This model is based on the SI system of units [ISO 1000], which distinguishes between Base Units and Derived Units.
|
|
9
|
- Base Units are the preferred units for a set of orthogonal fundamental quantities which define the particular system of units, which may not be derived by combination of other base units.
|
|
10
|
- Derived Units are the preferred units for other quantities in the system, which may be defined by algebraic combination of the base units.
|
|
11
|
In some application areas Conventional units are used, which may be converted to the preferred units using a scaling factor or a formula which defines a re-scaling and offset. The set of preferred units for all physical quantity types in a particular system of units is composed of the union of its base units and derived units.
|
|
12
|
Unit definitions are substitutable for the gml:Definition element declared as part of the dictionary model. A dictionary that contains only unit definitions and references to unit definitions is a units dictionary.

<documentation>Conventional units that are neither base units nor defined by direct combination of base units are used in many application domains. For example electronVolt for energy, feet and nautical miles for length. In most cases there is a known, usually linear, conversion to a preferred unit which is either a base unit or derived by direct combination of base units.

The gml:ConventionalUnit extends gml:UnitDefinition with a property that describes a conversion to a preferred unit for this physical quantity.

Both of these elements have the same content model. The gml:derivationUnitTerm property defined above is included to allow a user to optionally record how this unit may be derived from other ("more primitive") units.</documentation>

<documentation>The inherited attribute uom references the preferred unit that this conversion applies to. The conversion of a unit to the preferred unit for this physical quantity type is specified by an arithmetic conversion (scaling and/or offset). The content model extends gml:UnitOfMeasureType, which has a mandatory attribute uom which identifies the preferred unit for the physical quantity type that this conversion applies to. The conversion is specified by a choice of
|
|
139
|
- gml:factor, which defines the scale factor, or
|
|
140
|
- gml:formula, which defines a formula

by which a value using the conventional unit of measure can be converted to obtain the corresponding value using the preferred unit of measure.

|
The formula defines the parameters of a simple formula by which a value using the conventional unit of measure can be converted to the corresponding value using the preferred unit of measure. The formula element contains elements a, b, c and d, whose values use the XML Schema type double. These values are used in the formula y = (a + bx) / (c + dx), where x is a value using this unit, and y is the corresponding value using the base unit. The elements a and d are optional, and if values are not provided, those parameters are considered to be zero. If values are not provided for both a and d, the formula is equivalent to a fraction with numerator and denominator parameters.</documentation>
