A representation of the model object '
Spatial Domain Type'. Defines the spatial domain of a coverage offering. A server shall describe the spatial domain by its edges, using one or more gml:Envelope elements. The gml:EnvelopeWithTimePeriod element may be used in place of gml:Envelope, to add the time bounds of the coverage offering. Each of these elements describes a bounding box defined by two points in space (or two positions in space and two in time). This bounding box could simply duplicate the information in the lonLatEnvelope of CoverageOfferingBrief; but the intent is to describe the locations in more detail (e.g., in several different CRSs, or several rectangular areas instead of one overall bounding box). In addition, a server can describe the internal grid structure of a coverage offering, using a gml:Grid (or gml:RectifiedGrid) in addition to a gml:Envelope. This element can help clients assess the fitness of the gridded data for their use (e.g. its native resolution, inferred from the offsetVector of a gml:RectifiedGrid), and to formulate grid coverage requests expressed in the internal grid coordinate reference system. Finally, a server can describe the spatial domain by means of a (repeatable) gml:Polygon, representing the polygon(s) covered by the coverage spatial domain. This is particularly useful for areas that are poorly approximated by a gml:Envelope (such as satellite image swaths, island groups, other non-convex areas).
