| coordinate system |
A reference system used to measure horizontal and vertical distances on a planimetric map. A coordinate system is usually defined by a map projection, a spheroid of reference, a datum, one or more standard parallels, a central meridian, and possible shifts in the x- and y-directions to locate x,y positions of point, line, and area features. In ArcInfo, a system with units and characteristics defined by a map projection. ...

| coordinate system |
In n-dimensional space, a set of n linearly independent vectors anchored to a point (called the origin). A group of coordinates specifies a point in space (or a vector from the origin) by indicating how far to travel along each vector to reach the point (or tip of the vector).

| coordinate system |
A coordinate system is a minimal set of mutually orthogonal vectors which span a given space. All points or vertices in the space may then be represented using a linear combination of these spanning vectors.

any set of two or more magnitudes used to locate points, lines or curves. Commonly placed by using a horizontal axis (x-axis) and vertical axis (y-axis).

| coordinate system |
an exact definition of a system of mathematics and geodetic constants that defines how a specific geographic location is converted to a set of two or three numbers (for example, an X- and Y-value [and possibly a Z-value]); in the cartographic context, most coordinate systems are Cartesian (the axes are orthogonal [perpendicular to each other]) and the units are the same on all axes; the principle exception to this is the spherical coordinate system of latitudes and longitudes
