In a gml:MultiPointCoverage the domain set is a gml:MultiPoint, that is a collection of arbitrarily distributed geometric points.The content model is identical with gml:DiscreteCoverageType, but that gml:domainSet shall have values gml:MultiPoint.In a gml:MultiPointCoverage the mapping from the domain to the range is straightforward.- For gml:DataBlock encodings the points of the gml:MultiPoint are mapped in document order to the tuples of the data block.- For gml:CompositeValue encodings the points of the gml:MultiPoint are mapped to the members of the composite value in document order.- For gml:File encodings the points of the gml:MultiPoint are mapped to the records of the file in sequential order.
The attribute gml:id supports provision of a handle for the XML element representing a GML Object. Its use is mandatory for all GML objects. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be unique in the XML document within which it occurs.
