Dear all,
I was wondering if, in case of a single station representation, the mesoscopic/macroscopic description can be neglected, since there are no other lines or stations to link it to.
In particular, for what I see in the simpleExample documentation, the functionalInfrastructure element "Platform" has to be connected to a mesoscopic element (ne_a11), while the relative elements "PlatformEdge" are connected to microscopic elements (ne_a01 and ne_a02).
Do we really the need to specify the location of the Platform element?
Shouldn't the location of the "PlatformEdges" be enough for the determination of the Platform itself?
How can I model a "Platform" element if I don't have a mesoscopic element to refer it to?
Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Fabiana

There is no need to have the <platform> element being located on meso or
macro level. You may have the <platform> element also located on a
microscopic level using an <areaLocation>. Even better: you do not have
to have a location for the <platform> element at all (there is no need
from schema syntax point of view). Therefore, you can proceed as you
already mentioned: locate the <platformEdge> elements on microscopic
level and have the <platform> element being indirectly located by its
referenced <platformEdge> elements.
Best regards
Christian
