104 Copyright © 2007 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. All Rights Reserved. complexContent complexType gml:VerticalCRS is a 1D coordinate reference system used for recording heights or depths. Vertical CRSs make use of the direction of gravity to define the concept of height or depth, but the relationship with gravity may not be straightforward. By implication, ellipsoidal heights h cannot be captured in a vertical coordinate reference system. Ellipsoidal heights cannot exist independently, but only as an inseparable part of a 3D coordinate tuple defined in a geographic 3D coordinate reference system.

12.3.3.11 verticalCS

element name=verticalCS type=gml:VerticalCSPropertyType gml:verticalCS is an association role to the vertical coordinate system used by this CRS.

12.3.3.12 verticalDatum

element name=verticalDatum type=gml:VerticalDatumPropertyType gml:verticalDatum is an association role to the vertical datum used by this CRS.

12.3.3.13 VerticalCRSPropertyType

complexType name=VerticalCRSPropertyType sequence minOccurs=0 element ref=gml:VerticalCRS sequence attributeGroup ref=gml:AssociationAttributeGroup complexType gml:VerticalCRSPropertyType is a property type for association roles to a vertical coordinate reference system, either referencing or containing the definition of that reference system.

Distortion correction is commonly applied to calculated bearings and distances to produce values that are a close match to actual field values.
