4.1.9.4 Project Global Positioning

Adding a geospatial coordinate reference to the geometric representation context using a recognized coordinate reference system (CRS). This allows to position the project coordinate system on Earth (normally using eastings, northings, elevation above horizontal and vertical datums, and orientation).

The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept. In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the table below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.
