Annexes
directory of instances of a class or classes of features containing some information
regarding position (IS044 2001)
NOTE
The positional information need not be coordinates, but could be
descriptive.
geodetic coordinate system
geodetie latitude (ellipsoidallatitude, ({J)
angle from the equatorial plane to the perpendicular to the ellipsoid through a given
point, northwards treated as positive (IS043 2003)
geodetie longitude (ellipsoidallongitude, A,)
angle from the prime meridian plane to the meridian plane of the given point, eastward treated as positive (IS043 2003)
geographie data
data with implicit or explicit reference to a location relative to the Earth (IS041
2002)
NOTE
Geographie information is also used as a term for information conceming phenomena implicitly or explicitly associated with a location relative to the
Earth.
geographie feature
representation of real world phenomenon associated with a location relative to the
Earth (IS055 2000)
geographie identifier
spatial reference in the form of a labelorcode that identifies a location (IS044 2001)
EXAMPLE
"Spain" is an example of a country name, "SWIP 3AD" is an example of a posteode.
geographie information
information conceming phenomena implicitly or explicitly associated with a location
relative to the Earth (IS034 2002)
geographie information serviee
service that transforms, manages, or presents geographie information to users (IS034
2002)
geographie information system
information system dealing with information conceming phenomena associated with
location relative to the Earth (IS034 2002)
geoid
level surface which best fits mean sea level either locally or globally (IS043 2003)
NOTE
"Level surface" means an equipotential surface ofthe Earth's gravity field which is everywhere perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
