-- Name -- Vector statistical unit -- Definition -- Statistical unit represented as a vector geometry (point, line or surface).
-- Name -- Statistical tesselation -- Definition -- A tesselation composed of area statistical units. -- Description -- EXAMPLE A NUTS regions coverage.
-- Name -- Area statistical unit -- Definition -- Vector statistical unit with a surfacic reference geometry. -- Description -- Such object can be composed of other area statistical unit. EXAMPLE A country area, an administrative unit, a NUTS region.
-- Name -- Geometry descriptor -- Definition -- A descriptor for vector statistical unit geometry.
-- Name -- Vector statistical unit geometry -- Definition -- A geometrical representation for vector statistical units. -- Description -- Vector statistical units can have several representations depending on the context they are used for. It is adviced to produce at least one reference geometry. EXAMPLE1: A vector statistical units may be represented both by an area and a point geometry. Such point can be the center of gravity or a label location. EXAMPLE2: For mapping, different generalised representations of vector statistical units are required. These geometries depend on the visualisation scale.
-- Name -- Geometry type value -- Definition -- The code values for the geometry types.
-- Name -- Evolution type value -- Definition -- The code values for evolution types.
-- Name -- Evolution -- Definition -- Representation of vector statistical unit evolution.
