Relationships

HPD supports two types of relationships between features:

A feature relationship is a hierarchical relationship between features at the same location. One feature is designated the parent, others are its children. For example, a buoy could be a parent and attached equipment such as lights and navigational devices would be its children.

In S-57 data, feature relationships are called parent/child relationships.

A collection is a special S-57 object that contains information about relationships between objects. Collection objects can contain other collection objects. These objects do not have any spatial representation and, unlike other objects, they cannot be filtered or selected using standard HPD tools.
