FerryLink
A FerryLink is a linear spatial object which represents the connectivity of a vehicular ferry route across a body of water. A FerryLink will only be captured where both terminals are within Great Britain, and there is a timetabled service which is available to the public. Ferry routes with a terminal outside of Great Britain are not captured, for example Dover to Calais, or where the service is not available to the public.
The context diagram shows how the FerryLink has been inherited from INSPIRE, the attribution held on the FerryLink and how it relates to the other Ferry components.
FerryLink Attributes
A network link representing a route for a vehicular or pedestrian ferry route.
id
Unique identifier, for FerryLink this is a TOID
Attribute name: gml_id (GML), toid (GeoPackage), toid (VectorTiles)
Type: CharacterString
Size: 20
Multiplicity: [1]
identifier
Uniform Resource Identifier
Attribute name: identifier (GML), identifier (GeoPackage), Not provided (VectorTiles)
Type: CharacterString
Size: 37
Multiplicity: [1]
inspireId INSPIRE
External object identifier of the spatial object.
Attribute name: inspireId
Type: Identifier
Multiplicity: [1]
beginLifespanVersion «lifeCycleInfo» «voidable» INSPIRE
Date and time at which this version of the spatial object was inserted or changed in the spatial data set. Note: The time part is always set to zero.
Attribute name: beginLifespanVersion (GML), begin_lifespan_version (GeoPackage), Not provided (VectorTiles)
Type: DateTime
Multiplicity: [1]
centrelineGeometry INSPIRE
The three-dimensional geometry that represents the connection between the ferry terminals. Where a detailed alignment is provided it is only an indication of the route a vessel would take. The third dimension is only provided for connectivity and does not reflect any real-world value.
Attribute name: centrelineGeometry
Type: GM_Curve
Multiplicity: [1]
fictitious INSPIRE
Indicator that the centreline 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.
Attribute name: fictitious
Type: Boolean
Size: 5
Multiplicity: [1]
validFrom «voidable» INSPIRE
The time when the transport node started to exist in the real world. Note: The time part is always set to zero.
Attribute name: validFrom
Type: DateTime
Multiplicity: [1]
vehicularFerry
An indicator if this FerryLink represents a ferry that can be used by vehicles.
Attribute name: vehicularFerry (GML), vehicular_ferry (GeoPackage), vehicula_ferry (VectorTiles)
Type: Boolean
Size: 5
Multiplicity: [1]
routeOperator
The URL of the operator of this Ferry route.
Attribute name: vehicularFerry (GML), vehicular_ferry (GeoPackage), vehicula_ferry (VectorTiles)
Type: CharacterString
Size: 250
Multiplicity: [0..1]
reasonForChange
The reason for a change made to a feature.
Attribute name: reasonForChange (GML), reason_for_change (GeoPackage), Not provided (VectorTiles)
Type: ChangeValue
Size: 32
Multiplicity: [1]
startNode INSPIRE
The node coincident with the first vertex of the geometry attribute.
Attribute name: startNode (GML), start_node (GeoPackage), Not provided (VectorTiles)
Size: 20
Multiplicity: [0..1]
endNode INSPIRE
The node coincident with the last vertex of the geometry attribute.
Attribute name: startNode (GML), start_node (GeoPackage), Not provided (VectorTiles)
Size: 20
Multiplicity: [0..1]
