Subject: RE: [ubl] Defining Geograpic areas in UBL - How?
Ken, Thanks for your prompt response to my request however, I think I didn't do a very good job of explaining the Freightwise requirement to describe a geographic area. It would be the area bounded by lines connecting points (min of 3) together to form a polygon of sorts. It could be an even larger number of points that may get connected together to form a circular area. Or how about a circular area defined by a single point and a radius? I really need to ask Freightwise for a real world example of how they intend to use the area location in their expected reportes. Thanks again and stay tuned.....

Here is my guess: I'm assuming that you are referring to how to fill in cac:Location ... that in your UBL you've gotten down the structure to cac:DeliveryLocation or cac:PhysicalLocation, or some other ASBIE that has the object class described by cac:Location. Looking at my HTML reports found here: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/ubl/index.htm#ubl2modelreport ... I find cac:Location at row 598 of the common library. I see there is a child cac:Address. In address I see the last child is zero or more cac:LocationCoordinate elements. and in cac:LocationCoordinate I see the ability to enter in many values for latitude, longitude, etc. So, then, if I had to specify three lat/long values for a delivery location, I would use: <cac:DeliveryLocation> <cac:Address> <cac:LocationCoordinate> <cac:LatitudeDegreesMeasure>yyy</cac:LatidudeDegreesMeasure> <cac:LatitudeDirectionCode>North</cac:LatitudeDirectionCode> <cac:LongitudeDegreesMeasure>xxx</cac:LongitudeDegreesMeasure> <cac:LongitudeDirectionCode>North</cac:LongitudeDirectionCode> </cac:LatitudeCoordinate> <cac:LocationCoordinate> <cac:LatitudeDegreesMeasure>yyy</cac:LatidudeDegreesMeasure> <cac:LatitudeDirectionCode>North</cac:LatitudeDirectionCode> <cac:LongitudeDegreesMeasure>xxx</cac:LongitudeDegreesMeasure> <cac:LongitudeDirectionCode>North</cac:LongitudeDirectionCode> </cac:LatitudeCoordinate> <cac:LocationCoordinate> <cac:LatitudeDegreesMeasure>yyy</cac:LatidudeDegreesMeasure> <cac:LatitudeDirectionCode>North</cac:LatitudeDirectionCode> <cac:LongitudeDegreesMeasure>xxx</cac:LongitudeDegreesMeasure> <cac:LongitudeDirectionCode>North</cac:LongitudeDirectionCode> </cac:LatitudeCoordinate> </cac:Address> </cac:DeliveryLocation> And the way I actually found this was backwards: I looked up Latitude and found where LatitudeDegreesMeasure is used, which is in LocationCoordinate, then looking at LocationCoordinate I see it is used in Address, then looking in address I see it is used as a DeliveryAddress. I hope this is what FreightWise is looking for. Please acknowledge either way so that I can guess again if I am wrong above.
