AreaRepresentation

A geometry/representation that encodes an area location using a specific method.

NOTE: The boundary can consist of a single curvilinear line (e.g. a circle) or multiple curvilinear lines (e.g. the boundaries of city limits) and can consist of multiple enclosed areas.

EXAMPLE: The British Isles.

Specializations of AreaRepresentation

Class	Description
Area By Circle	An area representation encoded as a circle.
Area By Code	An area representation encoded as a code that references an entry in an external location referencing system.
Area By Grid	An area representation encoded as a grid. The rectangle defined by lower-left and upper-right is the base cell, which is replicated eastward (columns) and northward (rows).
Area By Grid	An area representation encoded as a grid. The rectangle defined by lower-left and upper-right is the base cell, which is replicated eastward (columns) and northward (rows).
Area By Linear Boundaries	An area representation encoded as a set of linear boundary representations.
Area By Multi Polygon	An area representation encoded as a MultiPolygon geometry.
Area By Polygon	An area representation encoded as a Polygon geometry.
