GeographicExtent
All Known Implementing Classes:
SimpleGeographicBoundingBox
@UML(identifier="EX_GeographicBoundingBox", specification=ISO_19115) public interface GeographicBoundingBox extends GeographicExtent
Geographic position of the resource. This is only an approximate reference so specifying the coordinate reference system is unnecessary. A precision up to 2 decimal places is usually sufficient.

  • Method Details

    • getWestBoundLongitude

      @UML(identifier="westBoundLongitude", obligation=MANDATORY, specification=ISO_19115) double getWestBoundLongitude()
      The western-most coordinate of the limit of the resource extent. The value is expressed in longitude in decimal degrees (positive east).
      Returns:
      the western-most longitude between -180 and +180°.
      Unit:
      Angle

    • getEastBoundLongitude

      @UML(identifier="eastBoundLongitude", obligation=MANDATORY, specification=ISO_19115) double getEastBoundLongitude()
      The eastern-most coordinate of the limit of the resource extent. The value is expressed in longitude in decimal degrees (positive east).
      Returns:
      the eastern-most longitude between -180 and +180°.
      Unit:
      Angle

    • getSouthBoundLatitude

      @UML(identifier="southBoundLatitude", obligation=MANDATORY, specification=ISO_19115) double getSouthBoundLatitude()
      The southern-most coordinate of the limit of the resource extent. The value is expressed in latitude in decimal degrees (positive north).
      Returns:
      the southern-most latitude between -90 and +90°.
      Unit:
      Angle

    • getNorthBoundLatitude

      @UML(identifier="northBoundLatitude", obligation=MANDATORY, specification=ISO_19115) double getNorthBoundLatitude()
      The northern-most coordinate of the limit of the resource extent. The value is expressed in latitude in decimal degrees (positive north).
      Returns:
      the northern-most latitude between -90 and +90°.
      Unit:
      Angle
