| The class Feature is the basic unit of which a FeatureSource is composed. A FeatureSource can be taken from a collection of Features stored in a ShapeFile, SQL Server 2008, Oracle, etc.A Feature is the basic data unit structure which is comprised of IDs that mark the identification of the Feature, a shape and a collection of data. | The class Feature is the basic unit of which a FeatureSource is composed.

| - | Topologically equal means that the shapes are essentially the same. For example, let's say you have a line with two points, point A and point B. You also have another line that is made up of point A, point B and point C. Point A of line one shares the same vertex as point A of line two, and point B of line one shares the same vertex as point C of line two. They are both straight lines, so point B of line two would lie on the first line. Essentially the two lines are the same, with line 2 having just one extra point.
