[roe] OAG comment: LocationCoordinates

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

To facilitate debate and consensus on the reviewed items, I am posting 
relevant issues as discussion points.  The intention is that after a one 
week period the team shall resolve these issues.  For example, this 
issue will be resolved at the call on Friday July 11th.

Item 9.

The OAGIS Coordinate aggregate is contained within the Location 
aggregate completely independent of the Address aggregate .  OAGIS has 
also implemented a xsd choice group to separate GPS (latitude, 
longtitude, altitude) from other map or grid coordinate systems.

Since GPS systems will most likely be the most common, it made sense to 
provide structured aggregates for latitude and longtitude which included 
degrees, minutes, seconds, and direction.

A generic structure was provided for non-GPS systems since these systems 
may vary widely in their identification of coordinates.

Do we accept this modification?  How does the LocationCoordinate then 
relate to the other ABIEs?
