The center and orientation of the ellipsoid is what we call the datum.

地理和投影坐标系都包含对地球形状的假设(一个略扁的球体);这称为大地基准点。
Both geographic and projected coordinate systems include a definition of the assumed shape of the earth (a flattened sphere); this is called the geodetic datum.

数据库本身往往不包含关于大地基准点的信息,所以您必须从创建坐标的应用程序中查明大地基准点。
Usually, the database itself contains no information about its geodetic datum, so you must find this out from the application that created the coordinates.
