Method Detail

getMinimumValue

@UML(identifier="minimumValue",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Double getMinimumValue()
Returns the lowest vertical extent contained in the dataset.

Returns:
Double mandatory for valid content, may be null for an invalid document.

getMaximumValue

@UML(identifier="maximumValue",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Double getMaximumValue()
Returns the highest vertical extent contained in the dataset.

Returns:
Double mandatory for valid content, may be null for an invalid document.

getUnit

@UML(identifier="unitOfMeasure",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
Unit getUnit()
Deprecated. removed from ISO_19115:2003/Cor.1:2006

Returns the vertical units used for vertical extent information. Examples: metres, feet, millimetres, hectopascals.


getVerticalDatum

@UML(identifier="verticalDatum",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
VerticalDatum getVerticalDatum()
Deprecated. changed to getVerticalCRS() in ISO_19115:2003/Cor.1:2006

Provides information about the origin from which the maximum and minimum elevation values are measured.


getVerticalCRS

@UML(identifier="verticalCRS",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19115)
VerticalCRS getVerticalCRS()
Provides information about the vertical coordinate reference system to which the maximum and minimum elevation values are measured. The CRS identification includes unit of measure.
