Spatial Object Type: ActivityComplex

ActivityComplex

Title:

activity complex

Definition:

A "single unit", both technically and economically, under the management control of the same legal entity (operator), covering activities as those listed in the Eurostat NACE classification, products and services. Activity Complex includes all infrastructure, equipment and materials. It must represent the whole area, at the same or different geographical location, managed by a "single unit".

Description:

NOTE 1 This class describes the minimal set of elements necessary to describe and identify geographically a legal entity and the activities taken place on it under the context of a Environmental purposes.

NOTE 2 "Activity Complex" could be assimilated to terms described on the legislation as Facility, Establishment, Plant, Holding, Organization ,Farm, Extractive Industries or Aquaculture Production Business among others

EXAMPLE i.e. an Agro-business that is legally registered under the Emissions Directive.

GovernmentalService

Title:

UtilityNetwork

Title:

utility network

Definition:

Collection of network elements that belong to a single type of utility network.

Description:

In the real world, objects are connected to each other: an optical cable is connected to a multiplexer that in turn is connected to copper cables connecting into our homes to provide cable TV, telephony and internet access. Using GIS to support network utility management typically involves many types of features that may have connectivity to each other. Topology in GIS is generally defined as the spatial relationship between connecting or adjacent features, and is an essential prerequisite for many spatial operations such as network analysis. Utility networks can be described as NaN (Node-Arc-Node) network using two basic geometric types: points (aka nodes) and polylines (aka arcs). NaN topologies can be directed or un-directed, depending on specific type of network (i.e. water networks are directed, while telecommunications networks are not). Such topology structure provides an automated way to handle digitising and editing errors, and enable advanced spatial analyses such as adjacency, connectivity and containment. Infrastructure networks rely on Generic network model developed during Annex I.

Note:

Via the attribute "utilityNetworkType", that uses the "UtilityNetworkTypeValue" codelist, the type of utility network can be defined. E.g. by selecting the "sewer" value, the utility network becomes a "sewer utility network".

Using the "crossTheme" value, a utility network can be created that contains e.g. ducts, which can contain pipes and cables from various utility network types.

BreakLine

Title:

breakline

Definition:

A line of a critical nature which describes the shape of an elevation surface and indicates a discontinuity in the slope of the surface (i.e. an abrupt change in gradient). Triangles included within a TIN model must never cross it.

Description:

SOURCE Adapted from [ISO 19107:2003].

EXAMPLE

Breaklines represent local ridges or depressions (streams or drainage lines) in the surface, man-made structures (e.g. roads), etc.

NOTE 1 A breakline connects points with different elevation and therefore its description using 2.5-D coordinates (using the 'geometry' attribute) is fully recommended.

NOTE 2 No triangle in a TIN may cross a breakline (in other words, breakline segments are enforced as triangle edges), even if doing so violates the triangulation criterion.

NOTE 3 All breaklines are located on the ground surface or on any of the artificial structures built on it.

NOTE 4 Breaklines are useful as input data for the generation of a more appropriate or accurate digital elevation model by using interpolation methods.

Proven reserves are that part of the reserves for which the presence is 90 % certain.

PERC	Pan-European Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Reserves (PERC). The PERC Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves sets out minimum standards, recommendations and guidelines for Public Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe. The Code has been adopted by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3), the Geological Society of London (GSL), the European Federation of Geologists (EFG) and the Institute of Geologists of Ireland (IGI), and is therefore binding on their individual members.
RF	Russian reserve guidelines. Russian reserve guidelines are in a state of transition from the system utilized within Soviet state companies to a new system more closely aligned with the needs of private industry.
SPE/WPC/AAPG(PRMS)	Petroleum Resources Management System. In 2000, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) jointly with the World Petroleum Council (WPC) and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) published a Reserve and Resource Classification to address the requirement for an international standard. The underlying Reserves Definitions were unchanged from those published by the SPE/WPC in 1997. Additionally, in 2001 the SPE/WPC/AAPG jointly published Guidelines for the Evaluation of Petroleum Reserves and Resources as clarifications for the application of the 2001 and 1997 documents. Further clarification was provided in the Glossary of 2005, in particular by the definition of the term commercial, and thereby reserves.
UNFC1997	United Nations Framework Classification (1997). The classification is based on three key attributes: Economic (E) Field Project Status/Feasibility (F) Geological (G)
UNFC2004	United Nations Framework Classification (2004). The classification is based on three key attributes: Economic (E) Field Project Status/Feasibility (F) Geological (G)
UNFC2009	United Nations Framework Classification (2009). The classification is based on three key attributes: Economic (E) Field Project Status/Feasibility (F) Geological (G)

Title:

environmental monitoring facility

Definition:

An environmental monitoring facility can also host other environmental monitoring facilities.

Description:

NOTE 1: An EnvironmentalMonitoringFacility is not a facility in the common INSPIRE sense realised by the Generic Conceptual Model class ActivtiyComplex.

NOTE 2: Laboratories are not EnvironmentalMonitoringFacilities from an INSPIRE perspective as the exact location of the laboratory does not add further information to the measurement.

The methodology used in the laboratory should be provided with observational data.

ML_GM_Collector	Main line's gravity main's collector. A collector is a pipe that collects and transports wastewater to a treatment plant or disposal system. Service laterals connect to collectors.
ML_GM_Culvert	Main line's gravity main's culvert. A culvert is a pipe used to channel water e.g. underneath a road, railway or embankment.
ML_GM_InLineStorage	Main line's gravity main's in-line storage. In-line storage involves retaining wet-weather flow in the pipe for small rainstorms.
ML_GM_Interceptor	Main line's gravity main's interceptor. Large sewer line that controls the flow of sewage to the treatment plant. In a storm it allows some of the sewage to flow directly into a receiving stream, thus keeping it from overflowing onto the streets.
ML_GM_InvertedSiphon	Main line's gravity main's inverted siphon. An inverted siphon is a pipe that must dip below an obstruction to form a „U“ shaped flow path. Inverted siphons are commonly used for preventing smelly sewer gases from coming back out of drains.

Pressure sewers are particularly adaptable for rural or semi-rural communities where public contact with effluent from failing drain fields presents a substantial health concern.
