Category: UN - Geographic Information Systems
Two or three numbers that describe the position of a point in two or three dimensions (e.g., x/y or x/y/z, where z indicates height). A two-dimensional coordinate is sometimes called a coordinate pair, a three-dimensional coordinate a coordinate triplet. In GIS databases, coordinates represent corresponding locations on the Earth’s surface relative to other locations. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/Handbook_Geo_Infrastr_Supp_Census_Activ.pdf
