Abstract/Summary

This report sets out the standards that are recommended for use by BGS in recording spatial coordinates for the positioning of points, both in digital databases and elsewhere in other forms of documentation. The recommended standards conform to internationally accepted criteria using the latest state of knowledge of the shape of the earth. The report is arranged in two main sections: one that contains the standards definitions and another that provides background information on the issues that have been considered in arriving at the recommendations and points to further reading.
