  2. World Geographic Reference System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_geographic_reference...

    The World Geographic Reference System (GEOREF) is a geocode, a grid-based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth. GEOREF is essentially based on the geographic system of latitude and longitude , but using a simpler and more flexible notation .

  3. Geospatial PDF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geospatial_PDF

    The PDF format is widely accepted and is considered the de facto standard for printable documents on the web. This means that users do not require the any proprietary plug-in to read geospatial PDFs created following the PDF 1.7 specification, which was published as ISO 32000-1 standard . [ 3 ]

  4. GIS file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIS_file_format

    Because a grid is a sample of a continuous space, raster data is most commonly used to represent geographic fields, in which a property varies continuously or discretely over space. Common examples include remote sensing imagery, terrain/elevation, population density, weather and climate, soil properties, and many others. Raster data can be ...

  5. Projected coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projected_coordinate_system

    A projected coordinate system – also called a projected coordinate reference system, planar coordinate system, or grid reference system – is a type of spatial reference system that represents locations on Earth using Cartesian coordinates (x, y) on a planar surface created by a particular map projection. [1]

  6. Open Artwork System Interchange Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Artwork_System...

    Open Artwork System Interchange Standard (OASIS [3]) is a binary file format used for specification of data structures for photomask production. [4] It's used to represent a pattern an interchange and encapsulation format for hierarchical integrated circuit mask layout information produced during integrated circuit design that is further used for manufacturing of a photomask.

    For example, in the "1 Geohash digit grid" illustration of 32 rectangles, above, the spatial region of the code e (rectangle of greyish blue circle at position 4,3) is preserved with prefix e in the "2 digit grid" of 1024 rectangles (scale showing em and greyish green to blue circles at grid).

  8. Five themes of geography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_themes_of_geography

    For example, Albany, New York is roughly 140 miles north of New York City. Every site on Earth has a unique absolute location, which can be identified with a reference grid (such as latitude and longitude). Maps and globes can be used to find location and can also be used to convey other types of geographical information.

  9. Discrete global grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_global_grid

    Example: grid with coordinates (φ,λ,z) where z is the elevation. A standard Geoid surface. The z coordinate is zero for all grid, thus can be omitted, (φ,λ). Ancient standards, before 1687 (the Newton's Principia publication), used a "reference sphere"; in nowadays the Geoid is mathematically abstracted as reference ellipsoid.
