NTR: Request for S06 Surface elevation #6

Closed gwemon closed 4 years ago

gwemon commented 4 years ago

Required

Term name (PrefLabel)

Surface elevation

Definition

The height above or below a fixed reference point.

Optional

roy-lowry commented 4 years ago

I would prefer 'The vertical distance of the surface above or below a fixed reference point'. The word height carries the inference of distance above so 'height below' seems a little contradictory.

roy-lowry commented 4 years ago

Just realised height implicitly specifies sign convention for the elevation. So how about 'The vertical distance of the surface above (positive values) or below (negative values) a fixed reference point' to keep things explicit in the definition.
