Notes:

-- Name -- inspire Id -- Definition -- External object identifier of the profile element. -- 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.

Notes:

-- Name -- particle size fraction -- Definition -- Mineral part of the soil, fractioned on the basis of size (diameter), limits of the particles. It indicates how much of the mineral soil material is composed of soil particles of the specified size range. -- Description -- SOURCE NRCS Natural Resources Conservation Service, Soil survey laboratory information manual, Soil survey investigation report n.45 version 1.0 May 1995 pag. 11

Notes:

-- Name -- profile element depth range -- Definition -- Upper and lower depth of the profile element (layer or horizon) measured from the surface (0 cm) of a soil profile (in cm). -- Description -- Depth range consists of the average upper and lower depth of appearance of the profile element from the surface. NOTE Most soil boundaries are zones of transition rather than sharp lines of division. The average depth of the upper boundaries and the average depth of the lower boundaries of each profile element are given in centimetres, measured from the surface (including organic and mineral covers) of the soil downwards, i.e. all depth values are positive numbers. EXAMPLE H horizon 0-5 cm, A horizon 5-30 cm, B horizon 30-80 cm NOTE Following rules should be taken into account <ul><li>lowerValue and upperValue: should be positive values, </li> <li>upperValue is the depth from the top of the element (e.g. 20)</li> <li>lowerValue is the depth of the bottom of the element (e.g. 40)</li> <li>if only upperValue is indicated: it is assumed that the lowerValue is unknown; this is only possible for the deepest layer or horizon of a profile.</li> <li>if only lowerValue is indicated: it is assumed that the upperValue equals 0, and thus the range is between 0 and the lowerValue value</li> </ul>

Tag	Value
byValuePropertyType	false
Details: Values: false Default: false Description: Create a property type that requires that the instance is encoded inline (applies to ISO 19136:2007 encoding rule). Always set to false in INSPIRE.
gmlMixin	false
Details: Values: true \| false Default: false Description: Identifies the feature type as a mixin type that will not be encoded as a separate element/type in the GML encoding.
inspireConcept	FIXME
Details: Default: FIXME Description: URN reference to the feature concept in the INSPIRE Feature Concept Dictionary Register
isCollection	false
Details: Values: true \| false Default: false Description: Identifies the feature type as a feature collection.
noPropertyType	false
Details: Values: false Default: false Description: Surpress creation of a standard property type that supports inline or by-reference encoding (applies to ISO 19136:2007 encoding rule). Always set to false in INSPIRE.
