Feature Types
osgb:artificialSlope
Artificial slope
| Definition | |
|---|---|
| Manmade inclinations in the ground which are permanent features and generally over 1.0 m in height, and associated with other features such as roads, railways (including disused and dismantled features), reservoirs and sports stadia; or constructed for another specific practical purpose, eg noise reduction. Ornamental slopes are not shown. Artificial slopes of any size are captured when an administrative or electoral boundary is mered to them; or they define an antiquity feature which is represented in the data. Where the limits of slopes are co-extensive with other detail the slopes will be offset. |

osgb:building
Building
| Definition | |
|---|---|
| A permanent roofed construction. Includes permanent mobile/park homes and caravans that are self contained, occupied principally for residential purposes and have postal addresses. Garages are captured when they meet the generic specification criteria. Portable, semi-portable buildings or structures such as portakabins, caravans without postal addresses, etc. are not captured with the exception of prefabricated classrooms within school grounds expected to remain for more than 10 years. A building attached to a larger building, but of completely different construction, is treated as a separate building and captured as a separate feature with the exception of such buildings within private gardens attached to private residential dwellings when they are captured as one feature. A building attached to a larger building of the same type of construction are considered part of the larger building and captured as a single feature. |
