en:The ellipsoid, geodetic datum, or spatial reference system (SRS) upon which the geographic coordinates given in decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude as based. Recommended best practice is use the EPSG code as a controlled vocabulary to provide an SRS, if known. Otherwise use a controlled vocabulary for the name or code of the geodetic datum, if known. Otherwise use a controlled vocabulary for the name or code of the ellipsoid, if known. If none of these is known, use the value "unknown".

es:El elipsoide, datum geodésico, o sistema de referencia espacial (SRS) en el que se basan las coordenadas geográficas provistas en Latitud Decimal y Longitud Decimal. La práctica recomendada es usar el código EPSG como un lenguaje controlado para proporcionar un SRS, si se conoce. Caso contrario, utilice un lenguaje controlado para el nombre o código del datum geodésico, si se conoce. Caso contrario, utilice un lenguaje controlado para el nombre o código del elipsoide, si se conoce. Si nada de esto se sabe, utilice el valor "desconocido".

fr:L'ellipsoïde, système géodésique ou système de coordonnées sur lequel les coordonnées géographiques données dans decimalLatitude et decimalLongitude sont basées. Il est recommandé d'utiliser le code EPSG comme vocabulaire contrôlé pour indiquer le système de coordonnées, s'il est connu. Dans le cas contraire, utiliser un vocabulaire contrôlé pour le nom ou code de l'ellipsoïde, s'il est connu. Si aucun des deux n'est connu, utiliser la valeur "inconnu".

en:Ideally one should use a standard European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) code to a Spatial Reference System as a value for this term. The recommended controlled vocabulary is to use a value consisting of the string "EPSG:" followed by a valid EPSG code corresponding to the spatial reference system used for the geographic coordinates in the terms decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude. A good resource for determining the EPSG code from the Datum name can be found at http://spatialreference.org/. Some common EPSG codes and the Datums they use can be found below: EPSG:4326: WGS84 <br /> EPSG:4269: NAD83 <br /> EPSG:4267: NAD27 <br /> If you don't know the details of the SRS, then it is permissible to provide the name or code of the geodetic datum for the decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude coordinates. Sometimes this information is not on the original source (such as a map), while an ellipsoid name is given. In this case, provide the name of the ellipsoid. If the spatial reference system, datum, or ellipsoid are not known, use the value "unknown" for this term. A good reference for datum and ellipsoid names is http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/datum/edlist.html See [[dcterms:Location]] for further discussion of georeference terms.
