Relationship Mapping

You can use the AddRelation tag to create a relationship (master/slave in S-57, structure/equipment in S-100) between one feature and any other features that pass a filter.

This is applied to the destination, not the source.

AddRelation has the following attributes:

Relationship: The relationship codes for S-57 features are described in the table below. Relationship codes for S-100 features are defined in the S-101 catalogue.

Role: Role indicates the relationship between the source feature and any target features. For S-57 catalogues, the relations and roles are

Relation

Role

masterSlave

isAMasterOf

isASlaveOf

collection

isAComponentOf

annotates

The AddRelation tag requires a <Filter> identify the features to relate to. This filter will be applied on the destination map after all other mappings are completed.

This example maps a BCNLAT feature to BCNCAR, and creates a masterSlave Relation with the BCNAR as the structure to any co-located LIGHTS or DAYMAR which are then added as equipment.

<Object Acronym="BCNLAT">

  <MapObject>

    <MapObjectAcronym Acronym="BCNCAR" />

        <AddRelation Relationship="masterSlave" Role="isAMasterOf">

          <Filter>

            <GeometryEquals>

              <Filter>

                <Or>

                  <ObjectAcronymIsEqualTo Acronym="LIGHTS"/>

                  <ObjectAcronymIsEqualTo Acronym="DAYMAR"/>

                </Or>

              </Filter>

            </GeometryEquals>

          </Filter>

        </AddRelation>

  </MapObject>

A masterSlave relationship is created. It would be read as BCNCAR isAMasterOf LIGHTS/DAYMAR.
