Geocode

Information about Geocode

A Geocode (Geospatial Entity Object Code) is code that represents a geospatial coordinate measurement of an exact geographic location and time at, below, or above the surface of the earth.

A Geocode representation is derived from the following geospatial attributes: 1. Latitude 2. Longitude 3. Altitude 4. Date 5. Local Time 6. Global Time 7. Other geospatial attributes such as:
  • how the area is coded (number, letter, mixture of both, other)
  • which part of the earth is covered (whole earth, land, water, a continent, a country)
  • what kind of area or location is coded (country, county, airport, railstation, city)
  • whether an area or a point is coded
A Geocode is an all-natural number representation.

Some of these code systems are free for use, others have different licences.
