Documentation An abstract feature provides a set of common properties, including id, metaDataProperty, name and description inherited from AbstractGMLType, plus boundedBy. A concrete feature type must derive from this type and specify additional properties in an application schema. A feature must possess an identifying attribute ('id' - 'fid' has been deprecated).

'Multiple names may be provided. These will often be distinguished by being assigned by different authorities, as indicated by the value of the codeSpace attribute. In an instance document there will usually only be one name per authority.'
