Annotations
direction descriptions are specified by a compass point code, a keyword, a textual description or a reference to a description.A gml:compassPoint is specified by a simple enumeration. In addition, thre elements to contain text-based descriptions of direction are provided. If the direction is specified using a term from a list, gml:keyword should be used, and the list indicated using the value of the codeSpace attribute. if the direction is decribed in prose, gml:direction or gml:reference should be used, allowing the value to be included inline or by reference.

These directions are necessarily approximate, giving direction with a precision of 22.5°. It is thus generally unnecessary to specify the reference frame, though this may be detailed in the definition of a GML application language.
