PathNode

A point spatial object that is used to break up the Path Network for connectivity. The PathNode extends the RoadNode feature in the INSPIRE Transport Network (roads) model. The Path Network splits for the following circumstances:

• The location where an attribute changes

• The intersection or crossing of PathLinks

• The start/end of a PathLink

The context diagram below shows how the PathNode has been inherited from INSPIRE and the attribution held on the PathNode:

PathNode Attributes

A point representing either the start/end of a path, the connectivity between two or more paths, or where one of the recorded attributes changes.
