Feature Representation
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes on page 7), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this section.
Feature Type |
Description |
Point |
Point feature (v1.0) |
VectorMapPoint | Point feature (v1.1) |
Line |
Linear feature |
Text |
Text feature |
RoadCLine |
Linear feature |
Area |
Area feature |
Every feature type contains a feature identifier, a feature code, a feature description, and geometry.
Example:
<osgb:Line fid='ID_1030>
<osgb:featureCode>15401</osgb:featureCode>
<osgb:featureDescription>OS VectormMap Line</osgb:featureDescription>
<osgb:polyline>
The featureCode helps to identify and classify a feature from over 130 features, which are supplied using Lines, Points, Texts, and Polygons.
The OS VectorMap Local features may be identified by its xml_type
attribute. The valid values for this attribute are:
Point, VectorMapPoint
Features having their xml_type
set to xml_point
are single coordinate features.
Line
Features having their xml_type
set to xml_line
are polyline features and have at least two coordinates.
Text
Features having their xml_type
set to xml_text
are annotation features, and may have the additional attributes: text string, orientation, height of text, anchor point, font.
RoadCLine
Features having their xml_type
attribute set to xml_line
is a line feature and may have the additional attributes : road name, road number.
Area
Features having their xml_type
set to xml_area
is a single closed polyline feature (simple closed polygon). A simple closed polygon contains at least four coordinates, with the first and last coordinate being equal.
