The purpose of these classes is to communicate the information being displayed; rather than to strictly control draw order and display. As such we can show/hide individual LegendItems from the legend (if for example they are not considered interesting to the task at hand).
These are focused on the legend and define the Icon and "Display Name" presented to the end user. This is based on what information the map is trying to communicate and does not have to directly match the name of the IGeoResource being displayed.
For example during disaster response a dataset of "urban zone planning" may be repurposed and displayed in the legend as "Expected Population Densisity" (given a few assumptions about time of day and the location of commuters). @author paul.pfeiffer
