| Name | Geographic location: western - most geographic longitude |
| Definition | Western - most coordinate of the data scope boundary defined by geographic longitude in degrees (positive towards east). |
| Obligation |
|
| Multiplicity | [1..*] for datasets and dataset series [0..*] for spatial data services |
| Example | 13.01 |
Tehnical data
| INSPIRE equivalent | Geographic bounding box: westBoundLongitude |
| Comparison with INSPIRE | equivalent |
| ISO equivalent | [344] westBoundLongitude |
| Comparison with ISO | equivalent |
| XPath | identificationInfo[1]/*/extent/*/geographicElement/*/westBoundLongitude |
| Data type | angle, expressed in degrees with at least two decimal digits |
| Domain | -180.00 ≤ westernmost longitude ≤ 180.00 |
| Implementation instructions | If the bounding box crosses the 180° meridian, then the value of the westBoundLongitude will be greater than the eastBoundLongitude value. |
