+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:coords1.png?300|Decimal Coordinates}}
 Geographic Coordinates should be given for place name records (cnl) only. Please note that the format of the coordinates varies according to the editing form you are using. In the form-based editor and the YAML editor coordinates are given in decimal form as a floating point number without a degree sign (°). Use positive numbers for north and east and negative numbers for soutch and west.

+In the CT internal format editor, the coordinates are given in degrees, minutes and seconds preceded by a letter indicating the hemisphere, see [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:123|123 Coded Data Field: Latitude and Longitude]] for details.
+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:coords2.png?300|Classic style coordinates}}
+Please note that the syntax of field 123 assumes a place is designated by a square-like shape through defining the outermost latitudes and longitudes. In the CERL Thesaurus, the coordinates of a place are that of a single point in or near the center of place - so both coordinates must be recorded twice here.
