I'm not sure about the proper modeling, but I'll try and explain the
concept.
DCMI Point is a system for identifying a point in space by using east,
north, elevation, units, zunits, projection and name. DCSV is the
plain-text encoding of a DCMI Point. There is also an XML encoding,
which would look like:
<Point name="Perth, W.A.">
<east>115.85717</east>
<north>-31.95301</north>
</Point>
