6.2.3 Spatial Relationship Operators

The definitions of named spatial relationships between geometric objects follow the definitions in [ISO CD 19107]. They are based on the Dimensionally Extended nine- Intersection Model DE-9IM. Because the DE-9IM based specification of each named relationship is very formal and cannot be expressed in simple English for each case, the following verb concepts only refer to the source of the definition, but do not provide the definition itself. In addition to the named operators, the “relates” operator has been included to support specific use cases. Where appropriate for use in SBVR rules, suggestions for synonyms have been added. geometry contains geometry Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.5.3.2] geometry equals geometry Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.5.3.1] geometry disjoint geometry Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.5.3.3] Synonyms: is-disjoint-with geometry touches geometry Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.5.3.5] Synonyms: meets geometry within geometry Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.5.3.7] Synonyms: is-within, inside, is-inside geometry overlaps geometry 14 Copyright © 2015 Open Geospatial Consortium Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.5.3.8] geometry crosses geometry Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.5.3.6] geometry intersects geometry Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.5.3.4] geometry relates geometry as pattern matrix Note: This operator requires two geometries and a pattern matrix to test against.

6.2.4 Spatial Analysis Operators

geometry is‐within‐distance of measure to geometry Note: This is equal to testing that a a buffer created around the first geometry with given measure as distance and b the second geometry intersect. Source: [ISO CD 19107] [section 10.7.6 - ‘DWithin’] geometry is‐beyond measure to geometry Note: This is equal to testing that a a buffer created around the first geometry with given measure as distance and b the second geometry are disjoint.
