The length of the through jetty (walkway) is used to calculate its Upper Scale value e.g., In a marina, a long through jetty (walkway) is captured as a single feature and has a length of 300 metres. This will then have an Upper Scale value of 1:100 000. The small pontoons that come off this through jetty (walkway) are all merged and given an Upper Scale value of 1:25 000 no matter the combined length of the lines.

If the feature is named, the attribute_source is the source imagery, map, or data from which the features name has been obtained.

If the feature is not named, the attribute_source is the source imagery, map, or data used to define what the feature type is.

PFI

No

Text

15

A Persistent Feature Identifier (PFI) is generated for each feature at the point of creation in the database. The value of the PFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) until the feature is retired. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)

UFI

No

Text

15

A Unique Feature Identifier (UFI) is generated for each new feature at the point of creation in the database (at this point the PFI and UFI will be the same). The value of the UFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) unless the feature is split into multiple other parts. If the feature is split, the separate parts will retain the original PFI but new UFI’s will be generated for the split parts. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)
