    1. How are geographic features stored in the data set?

      Indirect_Spatial_Reference:
      Indirect_Spatial_Reference
      This is a Direct_Spatial_Reference_Method data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology): VPF Topology level VPF_Topology_Level

      It contains the following vector data types (VPF terminology):

      It contains the following raster data types:

    2. What coordinate system is used to represent geographic features?

      Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest Latitude_Resolution. Longitudes are given to the nearest Longitude_Resolution. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Geographic_Coordinate_Units.

      The horizontal datum used is Horizontal_Datum_Name.
      The ellipsoid used is Ellipsoid Name.
      The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is Semi-major Axis.
      The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio.
