A sampling feature is established in order to make observationsconcerning some domain feature. The association Intention shall link theSF_SamplingFeature to the feature which the sampling feature was designed tosample. The target of this association has the role sampledFeature withrespect to the sampling feature, and shall not be a sampling feature. It isusually a real-world feature from an application domain (Figures 5 and 10).

Sampling features are distinctive compared with other featuresfrom application domains by having navigable associations to observations.If present, the association Design shall link the SF_SamplingFeature to anOM_Observation that was made utilizing the sampling feature, and thedescription of the sampling feature provides an intrinsic element of theobservation protocol, along with the observation procedure (6.2.2.10) andthe decomposition of the domain geometry in the case of a coverage-valuedresult (7.3.1). The OM_Observation has the role relatedObservation withrespect to the sampling feature. Multiple observations may be made on asingle sampling feature.

Sampling features are frequently related to each other, as partsof complexes, through sub-sampling, and in other ways. If present, theassociation class SamplingFeatureComplex (Figure 9) shall link aSF_SamplingFeature to another SF_SamplingFeature.

The attribute gml:id supports provision of a handle for the XML element representing a GML Object. Its use is mandatory for all GML objects. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be unique in the XML document within which it occurs.
If present, the attributes parameter:NamedValue shall describean arbitrary parameter associated with the SF_SamplingFeature. This might bea parameter that qualifies the interaction with the sampled feature, or anenvironmental parameter associated with the sampling process.

The class SF_SamplingFeatureCollection (Figure 9) is an instance of the«metaclass» GF_FeatureType (ISO 19109:2005), which therefore represents a featuretype. SF_SamplingFeatureCollection shall support one association.

The purpose of a sampling feature process is to generate or transform asampling feature. The model for SF_Process is abstract, and has no attributes,operations, or associations. Any suitable XML may be used to describe the samplingfeature process in line, provided that it is contained in a single XML element. Ifreference to a schema is provided it must also be valid.
