FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Coded form of the cartographic mathematical data relevant to the geographic aspect of the classification number and caption in field 153 (Classification Number). The data that is recorded usually derives from authoritative sources.

For digital items, the coordinates can represent a bounding rectangle, the outline of the area covered and/or the outline of an interior area not covered. For celestial entities, it may also contain zone, declination data, and/or right ascension data, and/or equinox.

In order to allow for entities whose coordinates change over time (e.g. changing boundaries for political entities), date information may be included in the appropriate subfields.


GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS

INDICATORS

First Indicator - Undefined

Contains a blank (#).

Second Indicator - Type of ring

Type of ring for digital cartographic items.

# - Not applicable

Type of ring is not applicable.

0 - Outer ring

Coordinate information represents the closed non-intersecting boundary of the area covered.

1 - Exclusion ring

Coordinate information represents the closed non-intersecting boundary of an area within the G-polygon outer ring that is excluded.

$e - Coordinates - easternmost longitude

$f - Coordinates - northernmost latitude

$g - Coordinates - southernmost latitude

Subfields $d, $e, $f, and $g always appear together. The abbreviations for the hemispheres are: N = North, S = South, E = East, W = West.

The coordinates may be recorded in the form hdddmmss (hemisphere-degrees-minutes-seconds), however, other forms are also allowed, such as decimal degrees

The subelements are each right justified and unused positions contain zeros.

$j - Declination - northern limit

$k - Declination - southern limit

Subfields $j and $k are each eight characters in length and record the declination in the form hdddmmss (hemisphere-degrees-minutes-seconds). The degree, minute and second elements are each right justified and the unused positions contain zeros. (If declination of center is known, it is repeated in both subfields).

034 ##$jN0545600$kN0545600$m134518$n134518$p2000.00$r78$2csa

$m - Right ascension - eastern limit

$n - Right ascension - western limit

Subfield $m and $n are each six characters in length and record the right ascension in the form hhmmss (hour-minute-seconds). The hour, minute and second elements are each right justified and the unused positions contain zeros. (If the right ascension of center is known, it is repeated in both subfields).

$p - Equinox

Equinox or epoch for a celestial chart. Usually recorded in the form yyyy (year) according to the Gregorian calendar, but may include a decimal including the month in the form yyyy.mm (year-month).

$r - Distance from earth

Distance of celestial bodies, such as planets or stars, from the Earth in light-years in star atlases.

$s - G-ring latitude

Latitude of a point of the g-ring.

$t - G-ring longitude

Longitude of a point of the g-ring.

$x - Beginning date

Beginning of the time frame specific to the coordinates. The date is structured in the form of yyyymmdd. When no date is recorded, it is assumed that the coordinate information is current.

$y - Ending date

Beginning of the time frame specific to the coordinates. The date is structured in the form of yyyymmdd. When no date is recorded, it is assumed that the coordinate information is current.

$z - Name of extraterrestrial body

Name of a planet or other extraterrestrial body specified when the coordinate data recorded in subfields $d, $e, $f and $g do not describe an entity on Earth.

MARC code that identifies the source of the data recorded in field 034. If different sources are recorded, separate fields should be used. Code from: Cartographic Data Source Codes.
