of a circle plus a line connecting the two ends of that circumference.
A circle is a perfectly round plane figure whose circumference is everywhere equidistant
from its centre. A line passing through the centre from circumference to circumference
is termed its 'diameter'.

Sea Level (MSL). In the case of a survey marker (monument) this is usually the elevation
assigned to the marker (monument).

Definition:

The dimension of a feature taken along its primary alignment of use and generally

Description:
|
The primary alignment of a feature is its established direction of flow or use (for
example: a road, a power line, a river, a rapid, and/or a bridge). A feature-specific
rule may apply. In the case of a bridge, the length is the distance between the bridge
abutments along the bridge centreline. In the case of a dam, the length is the distance
along the dam crest. If no established direction of flow or use exists then (1) if
the feature is irregular in shape its length is its greatest horizontal dimension
(see Attribute: 'Greatest Horizontal Extent'), else (2) if the feature is regular
in shape then a shape-specific rule may apply: for a rectangular feature, the length
of the longer axis; for a round feature, the diameter.

Definition:
|
The dimension of a feature taken perpendicular to its primary alignment of use and
generally in the horizontal plane.
|
Description:
|
The primary alignment of a feature is its established direction of flow or use (for
example: a road, a power line right-of-way, a river, rapid, and/or a bridge). A feature-specific
rule may apply. In the case of a bridge, the width is the distance perpendicular to
the bridge centre-line and generally in the horizontal plane. In the case of a dam,
the width is the distance perpendicular to (across the) the dam crest. If no such
direction of flow or use exists then (1) if the feature is irregular in shape its
width is taken perpendicular to the direction of its greatest horizontal dimension
(see Attribute: 'Greatest Horizontal Extent'), else (2) if the feature is regular
in shape then a shape-specific rule may apply: for a rectangular feature, the length
of the shorter axis; for a round feature, the diameter.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 639-3) three character code
that designates the language or macrolanguage of the source of a geographic name.
|
Description:
|
A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally
have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there
is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single
language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should
be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for
example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source
of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map,
regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in
Spanish.

It is based on the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), a compact string of characters
for identifying an abstract or physical resource. The term 'Uniform Resource Name'
(URN) refers to the subset of URI that are required to remain globally unique and
persistent even when the resource ceases to exist or becomes unavailable. The URN
is drawn from one of a set of defined namespaces, each of which has its own set name
structure and assignment procedures.
