gml:TopoSurface

gml:TopoSurface represents a homogeneous topological expression, a set of directed faces, which if realised are isomorphic to a geometric surface primitive. The intended use of gml:TopoSurface is to appear within a surface feature to express the structural and possibly geometric relationships of this surface feature to other features via the shared face definitions.
