The WMO Feature Collection Model is used to represent a collection of GML feature instances of the same type of meteorological information. The intent is to allow XML encoded meteorological information to be packaged in a way that emulates the existing data distribution practices used within the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) and Aeronautical Fixed System (AFS).<br/><br/>Note: The collection of meteorological information is often referred to as a bulletin.<br/><br/>Note: XML encodings of meteorological information are defined in Part D; for example FM 205-15 EXT IWXXM-XML.<br/><br/>Note: Aggregation of meteorological information in form of meteorological bulletins usually takes place at a station or centre originating or compiling the bulletin, as agreed internationally.  A meteorological bulletin may have one or more instances of meteorological information.  If meteorological reports of routine messages are not available during compilation, a NIL report of that station should be included in the published contents of the bulletin.<br/>
