Topographical Location

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Topographical Location. Some physical two dimensional extent on the surface of some planet or natural satellite.

Notes

The definition given in the FIBO Foundations specification for Physical Location defines some n- e.g. three dimensional space. This concept extends this to define a two dimensional extent on the Earth or other planets, moons etc. Scope Note: Potential specializations of this concept would include areographical locations (on Mars) and other planetographahical features. These are not in scope for FIBO but this abstraction has been included so that models which do explore that scope may be compatible with this model. Please refer to the discipline of toponymy for further details and possible extensions.
