 <div class="block">Description of the class of information covered by the information.
  The following properties are mandatory or conditional (i.e. mandatory under some circumstances)
  in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:

  <div class="preformat"><code>MD_ScopeDescription</code>
  <code>  ├─attributeInstances……</code> Attribute instances to which the information applies.
  <code>  ├─attributes…………………………</code> Attributes to which the information applies.
  <code>  ├─dataset…………………………………</code> Dataset to which the information applies.
  <code>  ├─featureInstances…………</code> Feature instances to which the information applies.
  <code>  ├─features………………………………</code> Features to which the information applies.
  <code>  └─other………………………………………</code> Class of information that does not fall into the other categories to which the information applies.</div>

  ISO 19115 defines <code>ScopeDescription</code> as an <cite>union</cite> (in the C/C++ sense):
  only one of the properties in this class can be set to a non-empty value.
  Setting any property to a non-empty value discard all the other ones.

  <div class="section">Limitations</div>
  <ul>
    <li>Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading.
        Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.</li>
    <li>Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases.
        Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the
        same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use <a href="../../../xml/XML.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.xml"><code>XML</code></a> instead.</li>
