Field Details

IMAGE

@UML(identifier="image",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CoverageContentType IMAGE

Meaningful numerical representation of a physical parameter that is not the actual value of the physical parameter.

THEMATIC_CLASSIFICATION

@UML(identifier="thematicClassification",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CoverageContentType THEMATIC_CLASSIFICATION

Code value with no quantitative meaning, used to represent a physical quantity.

PHYSICAL_MEASUREMENT

@UML(identifier="physicalMeasurement",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CoverageContentType PHYSICAL_MEASUREMENT

Value in physical units of the quantity being measured.

AUXILLARY_INFORMATION

@UML(identifier="auxillaryInformation",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CoverageContentType AUXILLARY_INFORMATION

Data, usually a physical measurement, used to support the calculation of the primary physical measurement coverages in the dataset.

Example: grid of aerosol optical thickness used in the calculation of a sea surface temperature product.

Since:

3.1

QUALITY_INFORMATION

@UML(identifier="qualityInformation",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CoverageContentType QUALITY_INFORMATION

Data used to characterize the quality of the physical measurement coverage in the dataset. Typically included in a CoverageResult.

Since:

3.1

REFERENCE_INFORMATION

@UML(identifier="referenceInformation",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CoverageContentType REFERENCE_INFORMATION

Reference information use to support the calculation or use of physical measurement coverages in the dataset.

Example: grid of latitude longitude used to geolocate the physical measurement.

MODEL_RESULT

@UML(identifier="modelResult",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CoverageContentType MODEL_RESULT

Method Details

values

public static CoverageContentType[] values()

Returns the list of CoverageContentTypes.

Returns:

the list of codes declared in the current JVM.

family

public CoverageContentType[] family()

Returns the list of codes of the same kind as this code list element. Invoking this method is equivalent to invoking values(), except that this method can be invoked on an instance of the parent CodeList class.

Specified by:

family in interface ControlledVocabulary

Specified by:

family in class CodeList<CoverageContentType>

Returns:

all code values for this code list.

valueOf

public static CoverageContentType valueOf(String code)

Returns the coverage content type that matches the given string, or returns a new one if none match it. This methods returns the first instance (in declaration order) for which the name is equals, ignoring case, to the given name. If no existing instance is found, then a new one is created for the given name.

Parameters:

code - the name of the code to fetch or to create.

Returns:

a code matching the given name.
