Definition: Georeferencing
Category: UN - Geographic Information Systems
The process of determining the relationship between page coordinates and real-world coordinates. Georeferencing is necessary after digitizing, for example, to convert the page coordinates measured in digitizing units (e.g., centimetres or inches) into the real-world coordinate system that was used to draw the source map. See also "Transformation". http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/Handbook_Geo_Infrastr_Supp_Census_Activ.pdf
