In addition to the definitions set out in Article 2, the following definitions shall apply:
‘datum’ means a parameter or set of parameters that define the position of the origin, the scale, and the orientation of a coordinate system, in accordance with EN ISO 19111,
‘geodetic datum’ means a datum describing the relationship of a coordinate system to the Earth, in accordance with EN ISO 19111,
‘coordinate system’ means a set of mathematical rules for specifying how coordinates are to be assigned to points, in accordance with EN ISO 19111,
‘coordinate reference system’ means a coordinate system which is related to the real world by a datum, in accordance with EN ISO 19111. This definition includes coordinate systems based on geodetic or Cartesian coordinates and coordinate systems based on map projections.
‘map projection’ means a change of coordinates, based on a one-to-one relationship, from a geodetic coordinate system to a plane, based on the same datum, in accordance with EN ISO 19111,
‘compound coordinate reference system’ means a coordinate reference system using two other independent coordinate reference systems, one for the horizontal component and one for the vertical component, to describe a position, in accordance with EN ISO 19111,
‘geodetic coordinate system’ means a coordinate system in which position is specified by geodetic latitude, geodetic longitude and (in the three-dimensional case) ellipsoidal height, in accordance with EN ISO 19111.
For the three-dimensional and two-dimensional coordinate reference systems and the horizontal component of compound coordinate reference systems used for making spatial data sets available, the datum shall be the datum of the European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (ETRS89) in areas within its geographical scope, or the datum of the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) or other geodetic coordinate reference systems compliant with ITRS in areas that are outside the geographical scope of ETRS89. Compliant with the ITRS means that the system definition is based on the definition of the ITRS and there is a well documented relationship between both systems, according to EN ISO 19111.
Spatial data sets shall be made available using at least one of the coordinate reference systems specified in sections 1.3.1, 1.3.2 and 1.3.3, unless one of the conditions specified in section 1.3.4 holds.
Three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates based on a datum specified in 1.2 and using the parameters of the Geodetic Reference System 1980 (GRS80) ellipsoid.
Three-dimensional geodetic coordinates (latitude, longitude and ellipsoidal height) based on a datum specified in 1.2 and using the parameters of the GRS80 ellipsoid.
Two-dimensional geodetic coordinates (latitude and longitude) based on a datum specified in 1.2 and using the parameters of the GRS80 ellipsoid.
Plane coordinates using the ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area coordinate reference system.
Plane coordinates using the ETRS89 Lambert Conformal Conic coordinate reference system.
Plane coordinates using the ETRS89 Transverse Mercator coordinate reference system.
For the vertical component on land, the European Vertical Reference System (EVRS) shall be used to express gravity-related heights within its geographical scope. Other vertical reference systems related to the Earth gravity field shall be used to express gravity-related heights in areas that are outside the geographical scope of EVRS.
For the vertical component in the free atmosphere, barometric pressure, converted to height using ISO 2533:1975 International Standard Atmosphere shall be used.
Exceptions, where other coordinate reference systems than those listed in 1.3.1, 1.3.2 or 1.3.3 may be used, are:
Other coordinate reference systems may be specified for specific spatial data themes in this Annex.
For regions outside of continental Europe, Member States may define suitable coordinate reference systems.
The geodetic codes and parameters needed to describe these coordinate reference systems and to allow conversion and transformation operations shall be documented and an identifier shall be created, according to EN ISO 19111 and ISO 19127.
For the display of spatial data sets with the view network service as specified in Regulation No 976/2009, at least the coordinate reference systems for two-dimensional geodetic coordinates (latitude, longitude) shall be available.
In addition to the definitions set out in Article 2, the following definitions shall apply:
‘grid’ means a network composed of two or more sets of curves in which the members of each set intersect the members of the other sets in an algorithmic way,
‘grid cell’ means a cell delineated by grid curves,
‘grid point’ means a point located at the intersection of two or more curves in a grid.
The grid specified in section 2.2.1 shall be used in INSPIRE, unless one of the conditions specified in section 2.2.2 holds.
The grid defined in this Section shall be used as a geo-referencing framework where grids with fixed and unambiguously defined locations of equal-area grid cells are required.
The grid is based on the ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (ETRS89-LAEA) coordinate reference system with the centre of the projection at the point 52° N, 10° E and false easting: x0 = 4 321 000 m, false northing: y0 = 3 210 000 m.
The origin of the grid coincides with the false origin of the ETRS89-LAEA coordinate reference system (x=0, y=0).
Grid points of grids based on ETRS89-LAEA shall coincide with grid points of the grid.
The grid is hierarchical, with resolutions of 1m, 10m, 100m, 1 000m, 10 000m and 100 000m.
The grid orientation is south-north, west-east.
The grid is designated as Grid_ETRS89-LAEA. For identification of an individual resolution level the cell size in metres is appended.
The reference point of a grid cell shall be the lower left corner of the grid cell.
For the unambiguous referencing and identification of a grid cell, the cell code composed of the size of the cell and the coordinates of the lower left cell corner in ETRS89-LAEA shall be used. The cell size shall be denoted in metres (‘m’) for cell sizes up to 100m or kilometres (‘km’) for cell sizes of 1 000m and above. Values for northing and easting shall be divided by 10n, where n is the number of trailing zeros in the cell size value.
Exceptions, where other grids than that specified in section 2.2.1 may be used, are:
Other grids may be specified for specific spatial data themes in this Annex. In this case, data exchanged using such a theme-specific grid shall use standards in which the grid definition is either included with the data, or linked by reference.
For grid referencing in regions outside of continental Europe Member States may define their own grid based on a geodetic coordinate reference system compliant with ITRS and a Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection, following the same principles as laid down for the grid specified in section 2.2.1. In this case, an identifier for the coordinate reference system shall be created.
