Geographic Types

The geographic module defines value types for representing physical locations. These values are used in facility modeling, contact information, and anywhere a physical address or coordinate is needed.

GeoLocation

A GeoLocation is a value representing geodesic coordinates in the World Geodetic System (WGS84).

Property	Type	Multiplicity	Description
longitude	Double	[1..1]	Longitude coordinate
latitude	Double	[1..1]	Latitude coordinate
elevation	Double	[0..1]	Elevation above the geodesic reference. When absent, applications may assume 0.0 or derive elevation from external sources (topographic data, GIS database).

LocalPoint

A LocalPoint is a location expressed relative to an anchor point (e.g., a position within a building). It is used for intra-facility positioning where geodesic coordinates are insufficient for practical navigation.

Property	Type	Multiplicity	Description
reference	GeoLocation	[0..1]	The reference anchor for measurement of local position. When absent, the reference is determined by context.
bearing	Double	[0..1]	Directional bearing from the reference point
xDelta	Double	[1..1]	Displacement along the x-axis from the reference
yDelta	Double	[1..1]	Displacement along the y-axis from the reference
heightDelta	Double	[1..1]	Vertical displacement from the reference

Address

An Address is a value representing a postal address. Partial addresses are supported in the implementation.

Property	Type	Multiplicity	Description
addressLine1	String	[1..1]	Primary address line
addressLine2	String	[0..1]	Secondary address line
city	String	[1..1]	City
state	String	[1..1]	State or province
postalCode	String	[1..1]	Postal code
country	Country	[1..1]	Country (see Country enumeration below)
pin	GeoLocation	[0..1]	Optional geodesic pin for the address

Country Enumeration

The Country enumeration lists supported countries. In the implementation, each value has associated standard codes (ISO 2-letter, ISO 3-letter, etc.).

Current values: USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, China, India.

The country list will expand as the system is deployed in additional markets.
