-- Definition -- Language of the name, given as a three letters code, in accordance with either ISO 639-3 or ISO 639-5. -- Description -- NOTE 1More precisely, this definition refers to the language used by the community that uses the name. NOTE 2 The code "mul" for "multilingual" should not be used in general. However it can be used in rare cases like official names composed of two names in different languages. For example, "Vitoria-Gasteiz" is such a multilingual official name in Spain. NOTE 3 Even if this attribute is "voidable" for pragmatic reasons, it is of first importance in several use cases in the multi-language context of Europe.

The necessary information for making the preference (e.g. the linguistic status of the administrative or geographic area in question), for a certain use case, must be obtained from other data or information sources. For example, the status of the language of the name may be known through queries on the geometries of named places against the geometry of administrative units recorded in a certain source with the language statuses information.

-- Definition -- Geometry associated to the named place. This data specification does not restrict the geometry types. -- Description -- NOTE 1 The most common geometry types for a named place are a reference point (modelled as GM_Point), a more precise geometry of the footprint (typically modelled as GM_Curve or GM_Surface), or a bounding box (to be modelled as a GM_Envelope). NOTE 2 If the geometry depicts the spatial footprint of the named place, a reference point and a bounding box could be derived from it. However, this specification does not require the explicit provision of any specific type of geometry such as bounding boxes or reference points. NOTE 3 To avoid any misunderstanding, note that null geometry is not allowed by this specification. NOTE 4 3D geometries are not really required for Geographical Names, but the model allows for it, so a data provider may publish it.

-- Definition -- Resolution, expressed as the inverse of an indicative scale or a ground distance, above which the named place and its associated name(s) should no longer be displayed in a basic viewing service. -- Description -- NOTE 1This information may be used to determine if the names of the named place should be displayed at a given scale of display, only in the context of basic viewing services intending to show the content of the data set containing names. Even if this information is a valuable one for mapping in general, it is only approximate; cartographic services intending to produce high quality maps should certainly rely on other criteria and techniques for selecting names for the map. NOTE 2 Even if this attribute is "voidable" for practical reasons linked to its availability in data sources, this information may be of first importance for viewing services. There are great chances that viewing services will inefficiently manage named places having this attribute void. EXAMPLES The following examples use the equivalentScale attribute of MD_Resolution to express the attribute value. - Names of important cities in Europe may be displayed at all viewing scales greater than 1/5,000,000. In this case, the value of the attribute is 5,000,000 - Names of small hamlets may only be displayed from all viewing scale greater than 1/25,000. In this case, the value of the attribute is 25,000 - Names of countries may be displayed at any small scale. In this case, this attribute is not filled. NOTE 3 If the data set contain multiple representations of the same real world entity represented at different levels of detail, the scale ranges defined by the attributes leastDetailedViewingResolution and mostDetailedViewingResolution should not overlap, in order to avoid displaying the same names several times. NOTE 4 The geometry of the named place should have a level of detail (i.e. resolution, granularity, precision, etc.) roughly compatible with its associated viewing scales.

This data specification does not restrict the geometry types. -- Description -- NOTE 1 The most common geometry types for a named place are a reference point (modelled as GM_Point), a more precise geometry of the footprint (typically modelled as GM_Curve or GM_Surface), or a bounding box (to be modelled as a GM_Envelope). NOTE 2 If the geometry depicts the spatial footprint of the named place, a reference point and a bounding box could be derived from it. However, this specification does not require the explicit provision of any specific type of geometry such as bounding boxes or reference points. NOTE 3 To avoid any misunderstanding, note that null geometry is not allowed by this specification. NOTE 4 3D geometries are not really required for Geographical Names, but the model allows for it, so a data provider may publish it. </documentation></annotation></element><element name="inspireId" type="base:IdentifierPropertyType"><annotation><documentation>-- Definition -- External object identifier of the spatial object. -- Description -- NOTE An external object identifier is a unique object identifier published by the responsible body, which may be used by external applications to reference the spatial object. The identifier is an identifier of the spatial object, not an identifier of the real-world phenomenon. </documentation></annotation></element><element minOccurs="0" name="leastDetailedViewingResolution" nillable="true"><annotation><documentation>-- Definition -- Resolution, expressed as the inverse of an indicative scale or a ground distance, above which the named place and its associated name(s) should no longer be displayed in a basic viewing service. -- Description -- NOTE 1This information may be used to determine if the names of the named place should be displayed at a given scale of display, only in the context of basic viewing services intending to show the content of the data set containing names. Even if this information is a valuable one for mapping in general, it is only approximate; cartographic services intending to produce high quality maps should certainly rely on other criteria and techniques for selecting names for the map. NOTE 2 Even if this attribute is "voidable" for practical reasons linked to its availability in data sources, this information may be of first importance for viewing services. There are great chances that viewing services will inefficiently manage named places having this attribute void. EXAMPLES The following examples use the equivalentScale attribute of MD_Resolution to express the attribute value. - Names of important cities in Europe may be displayed at all viewing scales greater than 1/5,000,000. In this case, the value of the attribute is 5,000,000 - Names of small hamlets may only be displayed from all viewing scale greater than 1/25,000. In this case, the value of the attribute is 25,000 - Names of countries may be displayed at any small scale. In this case, this attribute is not filled. NOTE 3 If the data set contain multiple representations of the same real world entity represented at different levels of detail, the scale ranges defined by the attributes leastDetailedViewingResolution and mostDetailedViewingResolution should not overlap, in order to avoid displaying the same names several times. NOTE 4 The geometry of the named place should have a level of detail (i.e. resolution, granularity, precision, etc.) roughly compatible with its associated viewing scales. </documentation></annotation><complexType><complexContent><extension base="gml:AbstractMetadataPropertyType"><sequence><element ref="gmd:MD_Resolution"/></sequence><attribute name="nilReason" type="gml:NilReasonType"/></extension></complexContent></complexType></element><element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="localType" nillable="true" type="gmd:LocalisedCharacterString_PropertyType"><annotation><documentation>-- Definition -- Characterisation of the kind of entity designated by geographical name(s), as defined by the data provider, given in at least in one official language of the European Union. -- Description -- SOURCE Adapted from [UNGEGN Manual 2007].

In this case, the value of the attribute is 100,000 - Names of small hamlets may be displayed at any large scale.

More precisely, if the attribute 'relatedSpatialObject' is filled in, the attribute 'type' should be filled in, and its value(s) should be consistent with the spatial data theme(s) of the related object(s). NOTE 2 Even if this attribute may introduce some redundancy with the attribute 'relatedSpatialObject', it has to be filled in order to allow to use geographical names on their own without accessing to any other INSPIRE data set, which may be necessary in most cases. </documentation></annotation><complexType><simpleContent><extension base="gml:CodeType"><attribute name="nilReason" type="gml:NilReasonType"/></extension></simpleContent></complexType></element></sequence></extension></complexContent></complexType>
