See ISO/DIS 19136 8.2.W3C XML Schema provides a set of built-in "simple" types which define methods for representing values as literals without internal markup. These are described in W3C XML Schema Part 2:2001. Because GML is an XML encoding in which instances are described using XML Schema, these simple types shall be used as far as possible and practical for the representation of data types. W3C XML Schema also provides methods for defining - new simple types by restriction and combination of the built-in types, and - complex types, with simple content, but which also have XML attributes. In many places where a suitable built-in simple type is not available, simple content types derived using the XML Schema mechanisms are used for the representation of data types in GML. A set of these simple content types that are required by several GML components are defined in the basicTypes schema, as well as some elements based on them. These are primarily based around components needed to record amounts, counts, flags and terms, together with support for exceptions or null values.GML is an OGC Standard.Copyright (c) 2007, 2010, 2016, 2018 Open Geospatial Consortium.To obtain additional rights of use, visit http://www.opengeospatial.org/legal/ .

gml:NilReasonType defines a content model that allows recording of an explanation for a void value or other exception.gml:NilReasonType is a union of the following enumerated values:- inapplicable there is no value- missing the correct value is not readily available to the sender of this data. Furthermore, a correct value may not exist- template the value will be available later- unknown the correct value is not known to, and not computable by, the sender of this data. However, a correct value probably exists- withheld the value is not divulged- other:text other brief explanation, where text is a string of two or more characters with no included spacesand- anyURI which should refer to a resource which describes the reason for the exceptionA particular community may choose to assign more detailed semantics to the standard values provided. Alternatively, the URI method enables a specific or more complete explanation for the absence of a value to be provided elsewhere and indicated by-reference in an instance document.gml:NilReasonType is used as a member of a union in a number of simple content types where it is necessary to permit a value from the NilReasonType union as an alternative to the primary type.

Annotations
This type is deprecated for tuples with ordinate values that are numbers.CoordinatesType is a text string, intended to be used to record an array of tuples or coordinates. While it is not possible to enforce the internal structure of the string through schema validation, some optional attributes have been provided in previous versions of GML to support a description of the internal structure. These attributes are deprecated. The attributes were intended to be used as follows:Decimal symbol used for a decimal point (default="." a stop or period)cs symbol used to separate components within a tuple or coordinate string (default="," a comma)ts symbol used to separate tuples or coordinate strings (default=" " a space)Since it is based on the XML Schema string type, CoordinatesType may be used in the construction of tables of tuples or arrays of tuples, including ones that contain mixed text and numeric values.

Simple Type gml:UomSymbol
Namespace
http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2
Annotations
This type specifies a character string of length at least one, and restricted such that it must not contain any of the following characters: ":" (colon), " " (space), (newline), (carriage return), (tab). This allows values corresponding to familiar abbreviations, such as "kg", "m/s", etc. It is recommended that the symbol be an identifier for a unit of measure as specified in the "Unified Code of Units of Measure" (UCUM) (http://aurora.regenstrief.org/UCUM). This provides a set of symbols and a grammar for constructing identifiers for units of measure that are unique, and may be easily entered with a keyboard supporting the limited character set known as 7-bit ASCII. ISO 2955 formerly provided a specification with this scope, but was withdrawn in 2001. UCUM largely follows ISO 2955 with modifications to remove ambiguities and other problems.

Namespace

Annotations
This type specifies a URI, restricted such that it must start with one of the following sequences: "#", "./", "../", or a string of characters followed by a ":". These patterns ensure that the most common URI forms are supported, including absolute and relative URIs and URIs that are simple fragment identifiers, but prohibits certain forms of relative URI that could be mistaken for unit of measure symbol . NOTE It is possible to re-write such a relative URI to conform to the restriction (e.g. "./m/s").In an instance document, on elements of type gml:MeasureType the mandatory uom attribute shall carry a value corresponding to either - a conventional unit of measure symbol,- a link to a definition of a unit of measure that does not have a conventional symbol, or when it is desired to indicate a precise or variant definition.
