Definition

An abstract modeling entity that is a superclass for feature types, which are representations of temporally persistent real-world phenomena, including their geometric position and extent.

Description

The concept of a 'feature' is that of the ISO 19100-series standards and as such is not constrained to any specific representation; for example, surface representation such as grids and images are allowed in addition to vector representations.
