Position on or near the Earth's surface can be described by spatial
reference systems. These are of two basic types: those using
coordinates; and those based on geographic identifiers (for example
postal addresses, administrative areas). Spatial referencing by
geographic identifiers is defined in ISO 19112, Geographic information -
"Spatial referencing by geographic identifiers." The subject matter of
The OpenGISĀ® Abstract Specification Topic 2: "Spatial Referencing by
Coordinates" is spatial referencing by coordinates. Source: The OpenGISĀ®
