| Label: | Footprint WKT |
| Term version IRI: | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/version/FootprintWKT-2007-04-17 |
| Version of: | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/FootprintWKT |
| Issued: | 2007-04-17 |
| Definition: | A Well-Known Text (WKT; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text) representation of the the shape (footprint, geometry) that defines the location of the occurrence. The same place may have both a point-radius representation (see DecimalLatitude) and a footprint representation, and they may differ from each other for the same occurrence. Example: the one-degree bounding box with opposite corners at (longitude=10, latitude=20) and (longitude=11, latitude=21) would be expressed in well-known text as POLYGON ((10 20, 11 20, 11 21, 10 21, 10 20)) |
