Hi
We have just been testing the new GeoJSON output format for our complex app-schema services, which is really great and will allow us to plug in our data directly to web apps.
However we have noticed what is possibly a strange bug where if there are multiple gml:ReferenceTypes in a complex type and one of them is an unbounded reference. A snippet from our mapping file:
<AttributeMapping>
<targetAttribute>gsmlbh:indexData/gsmlbh:BoreholeDetails/gsmlbh:purpose</targetAttribute>
<ClientProperty>
<name>xlink:href</name>
<value>purpose_href</value>
</ClientProperty>
<ClientProperty>
<name>xlink:title</name>
<value>purpose_title</value>
</ClientProperty>
</AttributeMapping>
<AttributeMapping>
<targetAttribute>gsmlbh:indexData/gsmlbh:BoreholeDetails/gsmlbh:startPoint</targetAttribute>
<ClientProperty>
<name>xlink:href</name>
<value>startpoint_href</value>
</ClientProperty>
<ClientProperty>
<name>xlink:title</name>
<value>startpoint_title</value>
</ClientProperty>
</AttributeMapping>
<AttributeMapping>
<targetAttribute>gsmlbh:indexData/gsmlbh:BoreholeDetails/gsmlbh:inclinationType</targetAttribute>
<targetAttributeNode>gml:ReferenceType</targetAttributeNode>
<ClientProperty>
<name>xlink:href</name>
<value>inclinationtype_href</value>
</ClientProperty>
<ClientProperty>
<name>xlink:title</name>
<value>inclinationtype_title</value>
</ClientProperty>
</AttributeMapping>
This produces the following GeoJSON output:
-
purpose:
[
-
{
-
{
- title: “stratigraphic investigation”
},
- title: “stratigraphic investigation”
-
{
-
{
- title: “onshore”
},
- title: “onshore”
-
{
-
{
- title: “vertical”
}
]
- title: “vertical”
-
We don’t get inclinationType or startPoint, these are instead populated into an array of purpose.
I suspect the reason is that the gsmlbh:purpose element is an unbounded reference type, while the other two don’t. So the GeoJSON encoder picks up the attribute mappings and populates gsmlbh:purpose with any gml:ReferenceType it finds in the mapping file
Relevant code in the XSD:

<documentation>The property startPoint:BoreholeStartPointCode provides a term from a controlled vocabulary indicating the named position relative to ground surface where the borehole commenced. (e.g., natural ground surface, open pit floor, underground, offshore)</documentation>

The GeoSciML Borehole package contains an information model for boreholes and related artefacts. This is primarily through re-use of standard components from the Observations and Measurements (ISO19156).

If I remove the maxOccurs=“unbounded” from gsmlbh:purpose, I don’t get the duplication.
