Interface CompositeSurface

@UML(identifier="GM_CompositeSurface",
     specification=ISO_19107)
public interface CompositeSurface
extends Composite, OrientableSurface

A complex with all the geometric properties of a surface. Thus, this composite can be considered as a type of orientable surface. Essentially, a composite surface is a collection of oriented surfaces that join in pairs on common boundary curves and which, when considered as a whole, form a single surface.

Since:
GeoAPI 1.0
Version:
ISO 19107
TODO:
This interface extends (indirectly) both Primitive and Complex. Concequently, there is a clash in the semantics of some set theoretic operation. Specifically, Primitive.contains(...) (returns FALSE for end points) is different from Complex.contains(...) (returns TRUE for end points).
