OBJECTID OBJECTID

Abstract & Metadata Classes

This section describes the APDM Abstract Classes and APDM Metadata tables. This diagram shows the inheritance of attributes and relationships from the top-most classes down to the lower classes. Inheritance means that a concrete feature or object class inherits the attributes, relationships and potential geometry types from all the classes above it (following the lines and the arrow heads pointing upwards). All classes are shown with light yellow header boxes with the exception of the Audit classes which are shown in light green. Standard ESRI classes are shown with white attribute boxes and APDM Abstract Classes are shown with light blue attribute boxes. The gray boxes show feature and object classes that inherit directly from the specified parent APDM Class. [Square Brackets] around the title of a class means that no concrete feature/object class can inherit directly from this class. Note that for a class to belong to APDM it must inherit from one of the specified APDM Abstract Classes otherwise it is considered to be only an ESRI class with no significance or relevance to the APDM. The feature class and object class icons denote which geometry type concrete child classes may implement. The metadata classes represent a set of object classes that are used to hold information about the reference modes, information about each concrete class inheriting from an APDM Abstract Class and information about which offline APDM classes have related online polyline or online point classes.

Encroachment feature classes model any physical feature or boundary that might impact the operation and/or regulated safety compliance of the pipeline system. LineCrossings represent offline linear features that intersect the centerline. LineCrossings may have one or more online point locations (crossing locations) and one or more online polyline locations (easements) Structures are offline Points that may have zero or more online point locations structure locations are typically derived for structures within 1000 feet (304.8 meters) of the centerline.

Copyright 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. All Rights Reserved. EventID is an arbitrary name assigned to a globally EventID unique identifier. The use of Event in EventID attribute name DOES NOT denote that features identified by this attribute are events created via linear referencing. EventID could be replaced by FeatureID, GeoElementID, or GeoEntityID. The classes depicted in this model are assumed to be feature classes and are depicted as such rather than as events or event tables. ExternalDocument

Lines that indicate relationships between concrete classes. The single line connector indicates a cardinality of one whereas the Crows Foot connector indicates a cardinality of many. Cardinality defines a rule indicating how many rows in a concrete class can participate in a single instance of a specified relationship. Wormholes represent a relationship between two concrete classes which is not specified diagrammatically by a line connecting the two classes. A pink wormhole indicates a proper primary key (pk) - foreign key (fk) relationship. A cyan wormhole indicates a relationship between a concrete class and any instantiation/implementation of an abstract class.

Audit Class

Indicates a concrete class that is an <fc>Audit class which inherits from the <fc>Audit class template.

Generalization - Inheritance - A inheritance relationships between a super-class and a subclass in which the subclass inherits all of the properties of the super-class. Super-classes represent general behaviors and properties which are inherited by subclasses which, in turn, add more specific and complex behaviors to those already inherited. A subtype that further classifies a concrete classes into meaningful sub-divisions without creating additional classes. Allows for additional behavior for each subtype beyond the standard behavior for features in a particular class. Is particularly useful for assigning different domains to attributes, applying different splitting/merging rules, applying different symbology in a map environment, choosing different network connectivity rules per subtype and allowing for different editing behaviors within the GIS environment. Organizational label used to sort concrete classes into meaningful operational categories.
