GeographicExtent

@UML(identifier="EX_GeographicBoundingBox",
     specification=ISO_19115)
public interface GeographicBoundingBox
extends GeographicExtent

Geographic position of the resource. This is only an approximate reference so specifying the coordinate reference system is unnecessary. A precision up to 2 decimal places is usually sufficient.
