public interface Identifiable

Identifiable is the interface implemented by geodetic objects issued from registries (like the epsg database).

Datums, Ellipsoid and CoordinateReferenceSystems are Identifiable objects.

Well known geodetic databases are :

• EPSG
• IGN-F

Identifiable components have three main characteristics :

• A namespace
• An identifier which is relative to this namespace
• A name

Examples of namespaces for spatial reference systems are :

• EPSG
• http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml
• urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:6.3

The syntax recommended by ogc for epsg object is described in rfc5165.

Method Detail

getAuthorityName

String getAuthorityName()

Returns the authority name of the CRS as a String.(ex : EPSG)

The String must follow the syntax of a URI (ex. urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3). You'll find more on the URI syntax here.

getAuthorityKey

String getAuthorityKey()

Returns this authority's id (must be unique in this Identifiable's namespace). (ex : 27572)

getCode

String getCode()

Returns the code formed with the namespace URI, ':' and the id value of the identifier (ex. EPSG:27572).

Returns:

a String of the form namespace:id

getName

String getName()

Returns the full readable name of this object.

getShortName

String getShortName()

Returns the short name of this Identifiable. A short name should have less than 16 characters whenever possible, and should never exceed 48 characters.

setShortName

void setShortName(String shortName)

Change the short name for this Identifiable. A short name should have less than 16 characters whenever possible, and should never exceed 48 characters.

Parameters:

shortName - the short name to give to the identifiable

getRemarks

String getRemarks()

Returns remarks.

setRemarks

void setRemarks(String remarks)

Change the remarks.

Parameters:

remarks - the new remarks of the identifiable

addRemark

void addRemark(String new_remark)

Add remarks.

Parameters:

new_remark - the remark to add

getAliases

List<Identifiable> getAliases()

Get aliases

addAlias

boolean addAlias(Identifiable alias)

Adds an alias

Parameters:

alias - an alias for this object
