Coverage Content Information

A coverage is the distribution of a set of properties (or ranges) on a spatiotemporal domain. When the content type of the coverage is image, there is an implicit interdependency between the coverage properties. Typically, the color of an RGB image cell is the combination of the values of the red, green and blue properties. When the content type of the coverage is physical measurement or classifications, there is barely this kind of interdependency between the different properties even if each property contributes to the definition of the cell range. When the content type is mixed, there is no explicit interdependency but they may exist implicitly (a classification range can be combined with red, green, and blue ranges).
Special Cells may be used to:
* provide a meaning to a full cell sample, typically to define the red, green, and blue values of the "transparent" pixel of an RGB image, and more generally to the values of an interdependent set of properties.
  • provide a meaning to values of a single range, typically when the content type of the coverage is not image.


In the first case, the record implementing the Special Cell Value shall provide a value for each of the interdependent range elements, e.g. a value for each of the red, green, and blue bands of an RGB image. There isn't necessarily a special cell defined for each of the coverage cells (i.e. for each combination of red, green, and blue in the image) since the intent is to provide a meaning to some specific cells.
In the second case, the Special Cell Value only provides a name, definition for a single value of only one of the range elements. Each record implementing a Special Cell Value provides a value for only one of the range elements. For a given range, there is either no special cells (because there is no predefined domain of value) typically when the range contains a measurement, or a special cell for each value of the range in order to fully document its domain of value.
In mixed coverage, the two types of special cells may occur depending on the interdependency of the ranges.

Geographic Box

Note: North/South and East/West coordinates should not be equal. If the data are a point or a line, please provide 4 different coordinates with at least an epsilon difference between them (e.g. 0.001).
The bounding box is used mainly to enable spatial searches and data comparison. By the way, it needs to be standardized and that is why it must be expressed using geographic WGS84 coordinates.
It should be for the information content at a minimum. It may include no-data areas since it is a rectangle, whereas the content can be something else. There could also be 'holes' within the data. Based on security issues, some portions may not be releasable.

Identifier Title / Description Value Domain Card
cornerPoints
[DMF/Data]
Corner Points
Earth location of the cells at opposite ends of grid coverage along two diagonals in the grid spatial dimensions, in the coordinate system defined by the Spatial Reference System and the grid coordinate. There are four corner points in a georectified grid; at least two corner points along one diagonal are required. The first corner point corresponds to the origin of the grid. The coordinates corresponds to the centre of the pixel.
The grid coordinate of any node P is noted P.indice[i] along the axis number i (i goes from 1 to the number of axisDimension properties). P.indice[i] goes from 1 to axisDimensionProperties[i].dimensionSize. When the orientation of the geographic coordinate axis matches the orientation of the grid axis, a single corner Point P1 can be expressed. The geographic coordinates of any node P follows this formula P.coordinate[i] = P1.coordinate[i] + axisDimensionProperties[i].resolution * (indice[i]-1). When the axis orientation does not match, 2 corner points are needed the formula becomes: P.coordinate[i] = ( P1.coordinate[i] * ( axisDimensionProperties[i].dimensionSize - indice[i] ) + (indice[i]-1) * P2.coordinate[i] ) / (axisDimensionProperties[i].dimensionSize-1)
