FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Contains cartographic mathematical data, including scale, projection, and/or coordinates in coded form. For digital items, the coordinates can represent a bounding rectangle, the outline of the area covered and/or the outline of an interior area not covered. For celestial charts, it may also contain zone, declination data, and/or right ascension data, and/or equinox. There should be an 034 field corresponding to each 255 field in a record.

For relief models and other three-dimensional items, if a single set of scales is used in field 255 (i.e., one horizontal and one vertical scale), the first indicator position in field 034 contains value 1, the denominator of the representative fraction for the horizontal scale is recorded in subfield $b, and the denominator of the representative fraction for the vertical scale is recorded in subfield $c. If multiple or varying sets of scales are recorded as a range, the smaller and larger denominators for the horizontal scales are recorded in the first and second subfield $b respectively, the smaller and larger denominators for the vertical scales are recorded in the first and second subfield $c, respectively, and the first indicator position contains value 3.


GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS

INDICATORS

First Indicator - Type of scale
Specifies the type of scale information given.
0 - Scale indeterminable/No scale recorded
Used when no representative fraction is given in field 255.
1 - Single scale
Single horizontal scale.
3 - Range of scales
Scale consists of a range of scales.
Second Indicator - Type of ring
Type of ring for digital cartographic items.
# - Not applicable
Type of ring is not applicable, such as when the cartographic item is not digitally encoded data.
0 - Outer ring
Coordinate information represents the closed non-intersecting boundary of the area covered.
1 - Exclusion ring
Coordinate information represents the closed non-intersecting boundary of an area within the G-polygon outer ring that is excluded.

SUBFIELD CODES

$a - Category of scale
One-character alphabetic code indicating the type of scale of the item.
Used even when a specific scale is not recorded (first indicator position contains value 0). The codes used in subfield $a are:
If the scale statement is the only subfield given in field 255 and if the scale statement does not contain a representative fraction, field 034 will contain only subfield $a.
034 0#$aa
$b - Constant ratio linear horizontal scale
Denominator of the representative fraction for the horizontal scale.
The larger scale (smaller number) is generally given first.
034 1#$aa$b1000000
034 3#$aa$b18000$b28000
$c - Constant ratio linear vertical scale
Denominator of the representative fraction for the vertical scale of relief models and other three-dimensional items.
The larger scale (smaller number) is generally given first.
034 1#$aa$b744000$c96000
$d - Coordinates - westernmost longitude
$e - Coordinates - easternmost longitude
$f - Coordinates - northernmost latitude
$g - Coordinates - southernmost latitude
Subfields $d, $e, $f, and $g individually identify the four coordinates of the item. Subfield $d represents the westernmost extent of the item; subfield $e, the easternmost extent; subfield $f, the northernmost extent; and subfield $g, the southernmost extent. The abbreviations for the hemispheres are: N = North, S = South, E = East, W = West.
Subfields $d, $e, $f, and $g always appear together. The coordinates may be recorded in the form hdddmmss (hemisphere-degrees-minutes-seconds), however, other forms are also allowed, such as decimal degrees. The subelements are each right justified and unused positions contain zeros.
Examples in degrees/minutes/seconds: hdddmmss (hemisphere-degrees-minutes-seconds):

Example in decimal minutes: hdddmm.mmmm (hemisphere-degrees-minutes.decimal minutes):
034 1#$aa$dE07932.5332$eE08607.4478$fS01235.5421$gS02028.9704

034 1#$aa$dE0793235.575$eE0860727.350$fS0123536.895$gS0202858.125
If the coordinates for a map or plan are given in terms of a center point rather than outside limits, the longitude and latitude which form the central axis are recorded twice (in subfields $d and $e and in $f and $g, respectively).

$h - Angular scale
Scale, if known, for celestial charts.
$j - Declination - northern limit
$k - Declination - southern limit
$m - Right ascension - eastern limit
$n - Right ascension - western limit
Subfields $j, $k, $m, and $n are used with celestial charts or celestial charts in atlases and contain the limits of the declination and the right ascension.
Subfields $j and $k are each eight characters in length and record the declination in the form hdddmmss (hemisphere-degrees-minutes-seconds). The degree, minute and second elements are each right justified and the unused positions contain zeros. (If declination of center is known, it is repeated in both subfields).
Subfield $m and $n are each six characters in length and record the right ascension in the form hhmmss (hour-minute-seconds). The hour, minute and second elements are each right justified and the unused positions contain zeros. (If the right ascension of center is known, it is repeated in both subfields).
