Named Data
Named Data are the data defined by Named Data Template and usually stored in XML Format. It is used in GEO5 applications for example for field test data.
Named Data consists of individual elements (in the XML Template [E] Item) of specified types. Some of them (table, group, enumeration, set) may contain child elements. The Named Data element is uniquely identified by a GUID. The elements can be global (these are part of some of the global libraries) and custom. When writing to a file, the GUID can be replaced by a unique text identifier, which allows both more human-readable writing and the possibility of interoperability with AGS or SEP3 formats. The relationship between the GUID and the text identifier can be specified in the Mapping. Every element can also have a text Identifier specified as a property.
The Named Data element has common properties (GUID, Name, Identifier, Comment, Type) and type-specific properties (described in detail on element type pages).
