  GEOGRAPHIC:
    text: GEOGRAPHIC
    description: The quantities of latitude and longitude which define the position
      of apoint on the Earth's surface with respect to a reference spheroid.
  PLANAR_GRID:
    text: PLANAR_GRID
    description: T plane-rectangular coordinate system usually based on, andmathematically
      adjusted to, a map projection so that geographicpositions can be readily transformed
      to and from plane coordinates.
  PLANAR_LOCAL:
    text: PLANAR_LOCAL
    description: Any right-handed planar coordinate system of which the z-axiscoincides
      with a plumb line through the origin that locally is aligned with the surface
      of the Earth.
  PLANAR_MAP_PROJECTION:
    text: PLANAR_MAP_PROJECTION
    description: The systematic representation of all or part of the surface of the
      Earth on a plane or developable surface.
  LOCAL:
    text: LOCAL
    description: A description of any coordinate system that is not aligned with the
      surface of the Earth.
