====== Scope ======


In a general sense, the scope designates the limits and the size of the area on which the [[english:glossary:geographicdatabase|geographic database]] is established. More precisely speaking, in many GIS software it refers to the coordinates of the 4 points of the rectangle in which this area is inscribed.
