Interface Place

All Superinterfaces:

Entity, InfrastructureRoot, Serializable, Versioned

public interface Place
extends Entity

A subtype of Entity representing a bounded physical place or site with its contained structures, if any.

Examples: A field, lake, city, county, state, country, lot (land), building, pipeline, power line, playground, ship, truck.

Constraints: Place may be natural or man-made. The geographic position of a place may or may not be constant.

Discussion: Places may be work facilities (where relevant acts occur), homes (where people live) or offices (where people work). Places may contain sub-places (floor, room, booth, bed). Places may also be sites that are investigated in the context of healthcare, social work, public health administration (example,, buildings, picnic grounds, day care centers, prisons, counties, states, and other focuses of epidemiological events).

Method Detail

getMobileInd

BL getMobileInd()

An indication of whether the facility has the capability to move freely from one location to another.

Examples: Ships, aircraft and ambulances all have the capability to participate in healthcare acts.

setMobileInd

void setMobileInd(BL mobileInd)
           throws HDRRimException

Throws:

HDRRimException

getAddr

AD getAddr()

The physical address of this place.

Constraints: Must be the address that allows the physical location of the place on a map.

setAddr

void setAddr(AD addr)
      throws HDRRimException

Throws:

HDRRimException

getDirectionsText

ED getDirectionsText()

A free text note that carries information related to a site that is useful for entities accessing that site.

Discussion: The attribute could include directions for finding the site when address information is inadequate, GPS information is not available, and/or the entity accessing the site cannot make direct use of the GPS information. It could also include information useful to people visiting the location. E.g., "Last house on the right", "If owner not present, check whereabouts with neighbor down the road".

ExtRef: PHCDM-02.01.04.01(Public Health Common Data Model)

setDirectionsText

void setDirectionsText(ED directionsText)
                throws HDRRimException

Throws:

HDRRimException

getPositionText

ED getPositionText()

A set of codes that locates the site within a mapping scheme.

Examples: map coordinates for US Geological Survey maps.

setPositionText

void setPositionText(ED positionText)
              throws HDRRimException

Throws:

HDRRimException

getGpsText

ST getGpsText()

The global positioning system coordinates of a place.

Discussion: The global positioning system values for this attribute should conform with the USGS Spatial Data Transmission Standards. Among other things this includes the nature of the latitude and longitude readings, the offset error, the projection.

Rationale: In some field conditions, there will be no physical address to identify a place of interest. As all locations on the surface of the earth have unique geographic coordinates, the GPS values allow for precise location information to be captured and transmitted.

setGpsText

void setGpsText(ST gpsText)
         throws HDRRimException

Throws:

HDRRimException
