Conformance class for the requirements related to the accessibility of referenced information, for example, information stored in registries (code lists, coordinate reference systems).

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 schemas, Population Distribution".

This conformance class is part of the INSPIRE Data Specification on Population Distribution.

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 in the application schema are:

• StatisticalDistribution

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:

The following prefixes are used to refer to the corresponding XML namespaces in all test descriptions:

The following variables are used to refer to the corresponding Xpath expressions in all test descriptions:
