GML supports two different ways to specify a geometric position: either by a direct position (a data type) or a point (a geometric object).pos elements are positions that are "owned" by the geometric primitive encapsulating this geometric position.pointProperty elements contain a point that may be referenced from other geometry elements or reference another point defined elsewhere (reuse of existing points).
