Method Details

getInclusion

@UML(identifier="extentTypeCode",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Boolean getInclusion()

Indication of whether the bounding polygon encompasses an area covered by the data (inclusion) or an area where data is not present (exclusion). The default value is true.

Returns:

true for inclusion, false for exclusion, or null if unspecified.

Departure from OGC/ISO abstract specification:

Change of name without change in functionality

The ISO identifier is "extentTypeCode" and defines the value 1 for inclusion, and 0 for exclusion. GeoAPI uses a name which better expresses the meaning of the return value.
