The Road and Path Network are topologically structured together. ConnectingLinks enable a connection between the Road Network and the Path Network. A ConnectingLink feature is a linear spatial object which represents a logical connection between the Path Network and the Road Network; it does not represent a feature in the real world. A ConnectingLink will always reference a PathNode and a ConnectingNode. The context diagram below shows how the ConnectingLink relates to and .
Three-dimensional geometry has been given to ConnectingLink features. This is to facilitate routing that requires coincidence of co-ordinates. Given the nature of connecting feature, this geometry is for connectivity purposes only.
A ConnectingLink is not a representation of a real-world object. It is a logical indicator of the connection between the Path Network and the Road Network.
Unique identifier; for ConnectingLink, this is a TOID.

The implied connection between the RoadLink and the PathLink. Note, this is represented as a three-dimensional geometry to facilitate connectivity, but it is a logical connection not a physical alignment.
Attribute name: geometry
Type: GM_Curve
Multiplicity: [1]
Indicator that the geometry of the link is a straight line with no intermediate control points – unless the straight line represents the geography in the resolution of the data set appropriately.
