	/// For the OGC abstract model, it can be defined as a set of real points on the earth 
	/// that have coordinates. EG. A datum can be thought of as a set of parameters 
	/// defining completely the origin and orientation of a coordinate system with respect 
	/// to the earth. A textual description and/or a set of parameters describing the 
	/// relationship of a coordinate system to some predefined physical locations (such 
	/// as center of mass) and physical directions (such as axis of spin). The definition 
	/// of the datum may also include the temporal behavior (such as the rate of change of
	/// the orientation of the coordinate axes).
