Documentation:
A B-Spline is a piecewise parametric polynomial or rational curve described in terms of control points and basis functions. Knots are breakpoints on the curve that connect its pieces. They are given as a non-decreasing sequence of real numbers. If the weights in the knots are equal then it is a polynomial spline. The degree is the algebraic degree of the basis functions.

                        <documentation>GML supports two different ways to specify the control points of a curve segment.

1. A sequence of "pos" (DirectPositionType) or "pointProperty" (PointPropertyType) elements. "pos" elements are control points that are only part of this curve segment, "pointProperty" elements contain a point that may be referenced from other geometry elements or reference another point defined outside of this curve segment (reuse of existing points).

2. The "posList" element allows for a compact way to specifiy the coordinates of the control points, if all control points are in the same coordinate reference systems and belong to this curve segment only.</documentation>
