342 - Geospatial Reference Data (R)


MARC 21 Bibliographic - Concise
2007

Description of the frame of reference for the coordinates in a data set. To work with a data set a user must be able to identify how location accuracy has been affected through the application of a geospatial reference method, thus enabling the user to manipulate the data set to recover location accuracy.

Indicators
First - Geospatial reference dimension
0 - Horizontal coordinate system
1 - Vertical coordinate system
Second - Geospatial reference method
0 - Geographic
1 - Map projection
2 - Grid coordinate system
3 - Local planar
4 - Local
5 - Geodetic model
6 - Altitude
7 - Method specified in $2
8 - Depth
