owl:DatatypeProperty,
rdfs:comment
Relating a place of a point or space on the Earth's surface to its height above or below a fixed reference point, most commonly a reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface.

rdfs:comment
Relating a place of a point or space on the Earth's surface to its geographic coordinate specifying the north–south position of that point, based on the World Geodetic System (WGS) standard. The coordinate is expressed as the angle between the equatorial plane and the normal, for a sphere from the center, to the surface at that point.

skos:note
Points with the same latitude lie on a circle around the Earth parallel to its equator. There are different latitudes, depending on the abstracted shape of the earth as spherical or ellipsoid, and other aspects. The decimal value can be converted to a sexagesimal using an N3 rule stating: [decimal degrees - (decimal degrees modulus (%) 1)]° [decimal degrees % 1 x 60 - decimal degrees % 1 x 60 % 1]' + [decimal degrees % 1 * 60 % 1 * 60]''

Relating a place of a point or space on the Earth's surface to its geographic coordinate specifying the east-west position of that point, based on the World Geodetic System (WGS) standard. The coordinate is expressed as the angle in the equatorial plane between a meridian plane containing the surface point and a by convention allocated prime meridian plane at 0 degrees longitude. The IERS Reference Meridian is used here as prime meridian.

skos:note
Points with the same longitude lie on a meridian or semi-circle between the poles. There are different longitudes, depending on the abstracted shape of the earth as spherical or ellipsoid, and other aspects. The decimal value can be converted to a sexagesimal using an N3 rule stating: [decimal degrees - (decimal degrees modulus (%) 1)]° [decimal degrees % 1 x 60 - decimal degrees % 1 x 60 % 1]' + [decimal degrees % 1 * 60 % 1 * 60]''
