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)

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)

COASTLINE

Definition: - The line defining boundary between the mainland, marine (offshore) islands, and the sea being Mean High Water (MHW).

Alternate Terms: Coast, State border

·       Capture as a 2D polyline.

·       The location is plotted from orthorectified imagery

·       Feature Type “Coastline” Foundation - “Coastline” is positioned at Mean High Water (MHW).

·       The other two “Coastline” Formation features are Indefinite Coastline and Rocky Foreshore.

“Indefinite Coastline” is captured coincident with the seaward edge of any vegetation (mangrove) below Mean High Water (MHW)

“Rocky Foreshore” is captured at Mean High Water (MHW) observed on the rocky coastal foreshore. (natural or constructed)

·       The Feature Type “Coastline” does not cross the entrances of identified waterbody areas features (greater than 30 metres) meeting the sea. This is when a “Coastline Junction” feature is placed.

COASTLINE JUNCTION

Definition: - The artificial line between waterbodies of the mainland, marine (offshore) islands and the sea.

Alternate Terms:

·       Capture as a straight 2D polyline

·       The polyline is the placed as the connector cross the entrances of identified waterbody areas meeting the Sea, joining the two sides of the Feature Type “Coastline”.

·       The polyline has a vertex placed midway to snap the waterbody area connector.

·       Always show “Formation” – Not Applicable

Alternate Terms:

·       Automatically generated from the associated waterbody areas.

·       Capture as a 2D polyline

·       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:

·       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.
