Name

highestElevation

Datatype

Real

Definition

The elevation from a specified vertical datum to the highest point on a feature.

Description

In the case of multiple features that may be stacked on each other (for example: a railway on a bridge, a superstructure on a building, or an aerial on a tower) the highest elevation is that of the entire feature stack. For example, the highest elevation of a church is that of its steeple and not that of the roof of the church itself. The church itself may have a height above surface level that excludes the additional height of the steeple superstructure located on the church roof.
