A (point) location where water flow or properties are reported, such as a stream gauge, rainfall gauge, or water quality monitoring site.
Describes parties - individuals or organisations - that are related to the monitoring point. Multiple related parties may be described using the role code list (from ISO 19115). The most common relationships are likely to be: owner, originator, pointOfContact, principalInvestigator and distributor.

Provide extra description about a monitoring point. This could be a link to an HTML page describing the location, photos of a monitoring point, history records etc.
Specifies the elevation that is used as the zero point, or datum, for vertical measurements (e.g stage/level).
The gml:VerticalDatumPropertyType type allows specification of the local gauge zero as a height above a reference datum. E.g. local gauge zero is 23m above the AHD using the anchorDefinition.
Specifies the time zone that the sampling point is located in. The zone offset must be specified (e.g. +10:00 GMT), with an optional zone abbreviation (e.g. AEST)
