17.3.1 Streamlines and the RESQML Knowledge Hierarchy

The RESQML description of streamlines is based upon a streamlines feature, the generic feature interpretation, and a streamlines representation. They are related through the abstract feature and the abstract feature interpretation (Figure 17.3.1-1). Streamlines are an example of a technical feature.

Figure 17.3.1-1 Streamlines feature, interpretation, and representation.

Although RESQML allows the relationship between representation and feature interpretation to be optional, for the streamlines representation, all data sets must include a generic feature interpretation and must include the streamlines feature.
