All Superinterfaces:

CompoundPhenomenon, Phenomenon

@UML(identifier="PhenomenonSeries",
     specification=OGC_07022)
public interface PhenomenonSeries
extends CompoundPhenomenon

A PropertySeries applies one or more constraintLists to the base property, each providing a set of values for a single secondary axis. Example: A "radiance spectrum" may be based on "radiance" with a list of "wavelength" intervals specified. The "base" association indicates a conceptual relationship, which may be useful in classification of observation types. The value of a specialised property-type must be described using a scale (units of measure, vocabulary) that could also be used for the base. Example: an application may choose to include observations of "WaterTemperature" when the subject of interest is observations of "Temperature".

Method Summary

Phenomenon	getBase() Phenomenon that forms the basis for generating a set of more refined Phenomena; e.g.
List<Object>	getConstraintList() A set of values of some secondary property that constraints the basePhenomenon to generate a Phenomenon set.
String	getOtherConstraint() Other constraints are described in text.

Method Detail

getConstraintList

@UML(identifier="constraintList",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=OGC_07022)
List<Object> getConstraintList()

A set of values of some secondary property that constraints the basePhenomenon to generate a Phenomenon set. If more than one set of constraints are possible, then these are applied simultaneously to generate.

getOtherConstraint

@UML(identifier="otherConstraint",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=OGC_07022)
String getOtherConstraint()

Other constraints are described in text.

getBase

@UML(identifier="base",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=OGC_07022)
Phenomenon getBase()

Phenomenon that forms the basis for generating a set of more refined Phenomena; e.g. Chemical Composition, Radiance.
