gml:EllipsoidalCS

gml:EllipsoidalCS is a two- or three-dimensional coordinate system in which position is specified by geodetic latitude, geodetic longitude, and (in the three-dimensional case) ellipsoidal height. An EllipsoidalCS shall have two or three gml:axis property elements; the number of associations shall equal the dimension of the CS.
