      public class DefaultScope
      extends ISOMetadata
      implements Scope

  The target resource and physical extent for which information is reported. The following properties are mandatory or conditional (i.e. mandatory under some circumstances) in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:
  `MD_Scope` `├─level…………………………………………………` Hierarchical level of the data specified by the scope. `└─levelDescription……………………` Detailed description about the level of the data specified by the scope. `├─attributeInstances……` Attribute instances to which the information applies. `├─attributes…………………………` Attributes to which the information applies. `├─dataset…………………………………` Dataset to which the information applies. `├─featureInstances…………` Feature instances to which the information applies. `├─features………………………………` Features to which the information applies. `└─other………………………………………` Class of information that does not fall into the other categories.

  Limitations:

  - Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
  - 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 `XML` instead.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### DefaultScope

          public DefaultScope()

      Constructs an initially empty scope.

    - #### DefaultScope

          public DefaultScope(ScopeCode level)

      Creates a scope initialized to the given level.
      Parameters:
        `level` - the hierarchical level of the data specified by the scope.

    - #### DefaultScope

          public DefaultScope(Scope object)

      Constructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, since the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
      Parameters:
        `object` - the metadata to copy values from, or `null` if none.
      See Also:
        `castOrCopy(Scope)`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### castOrCopy

          public static DefaultScope castOrCopy(Scope object)

      Returns a SIS metadata implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:
      - If the given object is `null`, then this method returns `null`.
      - Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of `DefaultScope`, then it is returned unchanged.
      - Otherwise a new `DefaultScope` instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, since the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
      Parameters:
        `object` - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or `null` if none.
      Returns:
        a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or `null` if the argument was null.

    - #### getLevel

          public ScopeCode getLevel()

      Returns the hierarchical level of the data specified by the scope.
      Specified by:
        `getLevel` in interface `Scope`
      Returns:
        hierarchical level of the data, or `null`.

    - #### setLevel

          public void setLevel(ScopeCode newValue)

      Sets the hierarchical level of the data specified by the scope.
      Parameters:
        `newValue` - the new level.

    - #### getExtents

          @UML(identifier="extent",
               obligation=OPTIONAL,
               specification=ISO_19115)
          public Collection<Extent> getExtents()

      Returns information about the spatial, vertical and temporal extents of the resource specified by the scope.
      Returns:
        information about the extent of the resource.
      Since:
        0.5

    - #### setExtents

          public void setExtents(Collection<? extends Extent> newValues)

      Sets information about the spatial, vertical and temporal extents of the resource specified by the scope.
      Parameters:
        `newValues` - New information about the extent of the resource.

          public Extent getExtent()

      Deprecated. As of ISO 19115:2014, replaced by `getExtents()`.
      Information about the spatial, vertical and temporal extent of the data specified by the scope. This method fetches the value from the extents collection.
      Specified by:
        `getExtent` in interface `Scope`
      Returns:
        Information about the extent of the data, or `null`.

    - #### setExtent

          @Deprecated
          public void setExtent(Extent newValue)

      Deprecated. As of ISO 19115:2014, replaced by `setExtents(Collection)`.
      Sets information about the spatial, vertical and temporal extent of the data specified by the scope. This method stores the value in the extents collection.
      Parameters:
        `newValue` - The new extent.

    - #### getLevelDescription

          public Collection<ScopeDescription> getLevelDescription()

      Returns detailed descriptions about the level of the data specified by the scope.
