The GlobalPositionType is a subtype of the BaseDataVariableType. It describes a point (i.e. a position) in 2 or 3 dimensions. Important: A Point object shall be interpreted according to the CoordinateReferenceSystem.
Note: A GlobalPositionType may also reference itself as a source for the position instead of a zone. For example, a GPS device does not require a zone to translate its position into a geographic coordinate.
It is formally defined in Table 17.

Floor |
|
A logical and non-localized representation for a building floor. Floor 0 represents the floor designated as 'ground'. Negative numbers indicate floors below the ground floor and positive numbers indicate floors above the ground floor. When implemented, the floor value MUST match described logical numbering scheme, which can be different from any numbering used within a building. Values can be expressed as an integer value, or as a float as required for mezzanine floor levels. |

||
|
CoordinateReferenceSystem |
|
A projection identifier defining the projection of the provided location coordinate. The CoordinateReferenceSystem shall be either a valid EPSG identifier (https://epsg.io) or 'local' if the location is provided as a relative coordinate of the floor plan. For best interoperability and worldwide coverage, WGS84 (EPSG:4326) should be the preferred projection (as used also by GPS). |

ElevationReference |
|
An elevation reference hint for the position's Elevation. If present it shall be either 'floor' or 'wgs84'. If set to 'floor' the Elevation shall be assumed to be relative to the floor level in meter. If set to 'wgs84' the Elevation shall be treated as WGS84 ellipsoidal height. For the majority of applications an accurate geographic height may not be available. Therefore ElevationReference shall be assumed 'floor' by default if it is not present. |
