I.8.3 indirectEntry, IndirectEntryType, DefinitionProxy, DefinitionProxyType

If a definition is to be included by reference, in its context within the current collection, then the deprecated gml:indirectEntry property element was to be used in previous versions of GML. This element is declared as follows: element name=indirectEntry type=gml:IndirectEntryType complexType name=IndirectEntryType sequence element ref=gml:DefinitionProxy sequence complexType element name=DefinitionProxy type=gml:DefinitionProxyType substitutionGroup=gml:Definition complexType name=DefinitionProxyType complexContent extension base=gml:DefinitionType sequence element ref=gml:definitionRef sequence extension complexContent complexType A gml:DefinitionProxy carries a mandatory handle gml:id, and contains a reference to a definition represented elsewhere. This entry is expected to be convenient in allowing multiple elements in one XML document to contain short abbreviated XPointer references, which are resolved to an external definition provided in a Dictionary element in the same XML document. The reference is carried by a gml:definitionRef element which is declared as follows: element name=definitionRef type=gml:ReferenceType This uses the gml:ReferenceType. The remote entry referenced may be in a dictionary in the same or different XML document.

I.9 Units, measures and values

I.9.1 dmsAngle

The gml:dmsAngle element was used to record the value of an angle in degree-minute-second or degree- minute format, but has been deprecated including all dependant schema component, because for machine-to- machine communication decimal degrees shall be used see 16.3.3. It uses the following schema declarations: element name=dmsAngle type=gml:DMSAngleType complexType name=DMSAngleType sequence element ref=gml:degrees choice minOccurs=0 element ref=gml:decimalMinutes sequence element ref=gml:minutes element ref=gml:seconds minOccurs=0
