| Abstract: | The term “entity” covers, when used in the field of electronic data processing, the meaning of words like “thing”, “being”,
“event”, or “concept”. Each entity is characterized by a set of properties.
An information element is a triple consisting of an entity, a property and the value of a property. Geodetic information is
sets of information elements with entities being related to geodesy. This information may be stored in the form ofdata and is called ageodetic data base provided (1) it contains or may contain all data necessary for the operations of a particular geodetic organization, (2)
the data is stored in a form suited for many different applications and (3) that unnecessary duplications of data have been
avoided.
The first step to be taken when establishing a geodetic data base is described, namely the definition of the basic entities
of the data base (such as trigonometric stations, astronomical stations, gravity stations, geodetic reference-system parameters,
etc...).
