    • getInclusion

      @UML(identifier="extentTypeCode", obligation=OPTIONAL, specification=ISO_19115) Boolean getInclusion()
      Indication of whether the bounding polygon encompasses an area covered by the data (inclusion) or an area where data is not present (exclusion).
      Returns:
      true for inclusion, false for exclusion, or null if unspecified.
      Departure from OGC/ISO abstract specification:
      Change of name without change in functionality The ISO identifier is "extentTypeCode" and defines the value 1 for inclusion, and 0 for exclusion. GeoAPI uses a name which better expresses the meaning of the return value.
