- Scope
- This standard applies to the exchange of coordinates describing the location of geographic points. This standard specifies the coordinate representation used for data exchange, including latitude and longitude; also specifies the representation of the coordinate reference system used for the location of horizontal geographic points other than latitude and longitude; also specifies the coordinate reference system that may be associated with horizontal coordinates. A representation of elevation and depth. Notation includes units of measure and order of coordinates. This standard does not apply to computer memory during processing and its representation of information in registers of geodetic codes and parameters. This standard supports the representation of point locations through Extensible Markup Language (XML), and allows the use of a single alphanumeric string to describe point locations. For computer data exchange of longitude and latitude, this standard recommends the general use of degrees and decimal degrees; allows the use of sexagesimal notation: degrees, minutes and decimal minutes or degrees, minutes, seconds and decimal seconds. This standard does not require special internal procedures, file organization techniques, storage media, programming languages, etc. during the implementation process.
