Detail

Definition

A Detail models the presence, location and extent of a physical object. Recognition of the feature in a map is heavily dependent upon the spatial context and cognitive recognition. (Illustration)

Feature Structure

  • Detail objects are Feature objects
  • Detail objects MUST have an "id" member with a FEATURE-ID value
  • Detail objects MUST have a "feature_type" member with the value "detail"
  • Detail objects MUST have a "geometry" member with a LINEAL value

Property Keys

Property Type Description
level_id LEVEL-ID Unique identifier of the Level the Detail possesses a spatial relationship with

  "type": "Feature",
  "feature_type": "detail",
  "geometry": {
    "type": "LineString",
    "coordinates": [
      [100.0, 0.0],
      [101.0, 1.0]
    ]
  },
  "properties": {

}

Geometry Capturing Rules

  • The Venue Organization is responsible for establishing the scope and purpose of a Detail. They are not defined by IMDF. When deciding the scope of the map data requirements, a Venue Organization SHOULD consider:
    • Venue Organizational (internal) needs
    • General map purpose
    • The use case model supported by the map application
    • The value that is derived through augmentation of the map with Details
    • Map data context, map scale and the relevance of a Detail at each of the viewable map-scales
    • The expected level of interaction between a pedestrian and the physical object, and the degree to which the map application can enrich that "experience" through the presentation of these modeled objects
    • Map aesthetic quality considerations
