Reference to an XML Schema fragment that specifies the content model of the propertys value. This is in conformance with the XML Schema Section 4.14 Referencing Schemas from Elsewhere.
The 'actuate' attribute is used to communicate the desired timingof traversal from the starting resource to the ending resource;it's value should be treated as follows:onLoad - traverse to the ending resource immediately on loadingthe starting resourceonRequest - traverse from the starting resource to the endingresource only on a post-loading event triggered forthis purposeother - behavior is unconstrained; examine other markup in linkfor hintsnone - behavior is unconstrained
The 'show' attribute is used to communicate the desired presentationof the ending resource on traversal from the starting resource; it'svalue should be treated as follows:new - load ending resource in a new window, frame, pane, or otherpresentation contextreplace - load the resource in the same window, frame, pane, orother presentation contextembed - load ending resource in place of the presentation of thestarting resourceother - behavior is unconstrained; examine other markup in thelink for hintsnone - behavior is unconstrained

Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be unique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object in the form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is done by concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the id attribute.

Ordered list of labels for all the axes of this CRS. The gml:axisAbbrev value should be used for these axislabels, after spaces and forbiddden characters are removed. When the srsName attribute is included, this attribute is optional.When the srsName attribute is omitted, this attribute shall also be omitted.
This attribute is included for backward compatibility with GML 2 and is deprecated with GML 3.This identifer is superceded by "gml:id" inherited from AbstractGMLType. The attribute "gid" should not be usedanymore and may be deleted in future versions of GML without further notice.

This is done by concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the id attribute.
The "srsDimension" is the length of coordinate sequence (the number of entries in the list). This dimension isspecified by the coordinate reference system. When the srsName attribute is omitted, this attribute shall be omitted.
In general this reference points to a CRS instance of gml:CoordinateReferenceSystemType(see coordinateReferenceSystems.xsd). For well known references it is not required that the CRS description exists at thelocation the URI points to. If no srsName attribute is given, the CRS must be specified as part of the larger context thisgeometry element is part of, e.g. a geometric element like point, curve, etc. It is expected that this attribute will be specifiedat the direct position level only in rare cases.
Ordered list of unit of measure (uom) labels for all the axes of this CRS. The value of the string in thegml:catalogSymbol should be used for this uom labels, after spaces and forbiddden characters are removed. When theaxisLabels attribute is included, this attribute shall also be included. When the axisLabels attribute is omitted, this attributeshall also be omitted.
Abstract parent type for all Met Objects located at a singlegeosaptial point or point-like location (airport, city, observation station,..).Moving point objects can be modeled using DynamicMeteorologicalObject with multiplepoint objects as collection content. Mutual display priority levels of point-likeobjects can be given with displayPriority property: The rendering engine shouldstart dropping the objects out in descending priority order if it cannot properlyposition all the point objects into the given display size using the givenpreferredRenderingSize (the ones with lowest numeric priority value will remainvisible last).
