Conformance class for the requirements associated with reference systems (spatial and temporal, units of measurement).

To be able to test this conformance class, the encoding of the data set must be known, i.e. this is a parameterized conformance class. The XPath expressions used in this test suite assume that the GML encoding is used. If used with the GML encoding this conformance class has an indirect dependency to the conformance class "GML application schema for Environmental Monitoring Facilities".

This conformance class is part of the INSPIRE Data Specification on Environmental Monitoring Facilities.

INSPIRE spatial data set

A direct dependency is another conformance class whose requirements must be met by the data set, too.

An indirect dependency is another conformance class whose requirements must be met by a related resource.

The instantiable feature types are:

• Environmental Monitoring Activity
• Environmental Monitoring Facility
• Environmental Monitoring Network
• Environmental Monitoring Programme
• Observing Capability
• Operational Activity Period

Note: When "features" or "spatial objects" are mentioned in the test cases, this refers only to instances of feature types of this application schema, not to any types specified in any other application schema.

The following abbreviations are used in the test text for referring to external documents:

None, all reference system test cases are covered by the generic Reference systems tests.
