Entering Coordinates Manually
For now, you'll have to email co-ordinates to inst@inspirehep.net
The element District is used to store the coordinates of the inst. us
ed to generate the map. If an inst is in the wrong place, inst can be modified
to move the marker. Write the decimal degrees of lat/long as follows
DISTRICT=<latitude>,<longitude>;
DISTRICT = 37.419850,-122.205284;
- <latitude> is also known as North or South
- North is positive, South is negative
- <longitude> is also known as East or West
- East is positive, West is negative
- thus each inst should have 2 numbers, separated by a comma.
- A user may send the coordinates in degrees minutes and seconds, rather than
in decimal degrees
- decimal degrees= degrees +minutes/60 + seconds/3600
- europeans may use commas instead of decimal places, so 3 deg 35,789 min might
be 3+35.789/60=3.5964833
- only the first 4 decimal places matter
- the distance from KIPAC to Central lab (i.e. across the SLAC green) is ab
out .0005
