Element cause
The element cause can be used to indicate the cause(s) of a situation component. If the cause is a situationRecord from another road manager, a cause type and a cause description are included under the element cause. For causes from the same road manager, the specialization ManagedCause is used.
These two methods both have their own elements.
Elements
Method 1 - Description and cause
A description and cause type are given of the cause of the situation component. Due to the limited domain, the inclusion of a ManagedCause (method 2) is preferred.
Element causeDescription
This element can be used to provide further explanation of the cause. This element is mandatory if the value “other” is used for causeType.

Method 2 - Element managedCause
The actual reference to a situationRecord with respect to the cause is encoded in the mandatory element managedCause. This element has no subelements, the relationship is expressed in the form of three mandatory attributes.
Attribute id
Id of the applicable situationRecord.
| Type: | Mandatory | Domain |
|---|---|---|
| String | Yes | Valid id |
Attribute version
The attribute version refers to the version of the situationRecord that is being referred to. This makes it possible to create a direct link between the specific versions of a situationRecord. If the reference is used to indicate a link between situationRecords only, the value 'last' should be used. This value indicates that the most recent version of the related situationRecord is meant.
| Type: | Mandatory | Domain |
|---|---|---|
| String | Yes | See above |
Attribute targetClass
Value used to name the class being referenced.
| Type: | Mandatory | Domain |
|---|---|---|
| String | Yes | sit:SituationRecord |
