Position instances hold the coordinates of a position ina coordinate reference system (CRS) referenced by the related "crs"attribute or elsewhere. For an angular coordinate axis that isphysically continuous for multiple revolutions, but whose recordedvalues can be discontinuous, special conditions apply when the boundingbox is continuous across the value discontinuity: a) If the bounding boxis continuous clear around this angular axis, then ordinate values ofminus and plus infinity shall be used. b) If the bounding box iscontinuous across the value discontinuity but is not continuous cleararound this angular axis, then some non-normal value can be used ifspecified for a specific OWS use of the BoundingBoxType. For moreinformation, see Subclauses 10.2.5 and C.13.
This type is adapted from DirectPositionType anddoubleList of GML 3.1. The adaptations include omission of all theattributes, since the needed information is included in theBoundingBoxType.
