Definition | Information about the coordinate system developed on a planar surface. Include enough information to allow the user of a geospatial data set to identify the quantities of distances, or distances and angles. These define the position of a point on a reference plane onto which the surface of the Earth has been projected. Use with the Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata available at the Federal Geographic Data Committee web site ( http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/standards_publications/). Punctuation. Enter a period at the end of field 343 unless another mark of punctuation is present. Use a semicolon (;) to separate each subfield. | ||||
1st Indicator | Undefined. The 1st indicator position is undefined and contains a blank ( ). | ||||
