titleCapture Process:

 

SHORELINE 

 

Definition: The line where the land meets a designated waterbody area on the mainland, and on marine or terrestrial islands.

 

Alternate Terms:

 

  • Automatically generated from the associated waterbody areas.

  • Capture as a 2D polyline

  • Shorelines do no cross other shorelines e.g., where two watercourse area features meet, the common line is called a Feature Type “Shoreline Junction”.

  • Shorelines are not captured coincident with a Feature Type “Dam Wall Major”

  • Shorelines are not captured when coincident with a Feature Type “Coastline Junction”

 

 

SHORELINE JUNCTION

 

Definition: The artificial line between two adjoining waterbody areas.

 

Alternate Terms:

 

 

 

  •  Automatically generated from the associated waterbody areas

  • Capture as a 2D polyline

  • No “Shoreline Junction” Feature Type is captured when coincident with a “Coastline Junction” Feature Type

  • The attribute Junction Code is determined by the Upper_scale value of the associated Shoreline feature. The codes are:

 UPPER_SCALE

  • 1:25 000m

  • 1:100 000

  • 1:250 000

  • 1:1 000 00

  • 1:2 500000

  • 1:5 000000

  • 1:10 00000

JUNCTION_CODE

  • 1

  • 2

  • 3

  • 4

  • 5

  • 6

  • 7

  •  Where

  Where two waterbody areas meet and they have a different Upper_scale value, the Junction Code of both features will be the larger Junction Code. e.g., if a 1:1 000 000 waterbody areas meets a 1:25 000 waterbody area, the Junction Code of both features will be 4.

  • No Shoreline Junction feature is shown between two waterbody areas that have the same Upper_scale value.
