Note | Uses of geo can be associated with a coordinate system, defined by a geoDecl element supplied in the TEI header, using the decls attribute. If no such link is made, the assumption is that the content of each geo element will be a pair of numbers separated by whitespace, to be interpreted as latitude followed by longitude according to the World Geodetic System. |
Example | <geoDecl xml:id="WGS" datum="WGS84">World Geodetic System</geoDecl> <geoDecl xml:id="OS" datum="OSGB36">Ordnance Survey</geoDecl> <!-- ... --> <location> <desc>A tombstone plus six lines of Anglo-Saxon text, built into the west tower (on the south side of the archway, at 8 ft. above the ground) of the Church of St. Mary-le-Wigford in Lincoln.</desc> <geo decls="#WGS">53.226658 -0.541254</geo> <geo decls="#OS">SK 97481 70947</geo> </location> |
