A coordinate system is a reference system based on mathematical rules for specifying positions (locations) on the surface of the earth. The coordinate values can be spherical (latitude and longitude) or planar (such as Universal Transverse Mercator).
Cartographic boundary files, digital boundary files, representative points and road network files are disseminated in latitude/longitude coordinates.
