Location (coordinates)

• Coordinates in EPSG 4326 or EPSG 2227

• Only EPSG 4326 coordinates can be mapped within the open data portal

• Should be represented in two columns

  • EPSG 4326: latitude and longitude or

  • EPSG 2227: x_coord and y_coord

  • Note: all EPSG 4326 coordinates will be loaded into the open data portal to support mapping and presented in an additional single location column there called the_geom. EPSG 2227 coordinates will be represented as the two original columns

• In positive/negative floating point

  • e.g. latitude: 37.761146; longitude: -122.436235

• EPSG should be indicated in metadata

Is anything wrong, unclear, missing?
