Feature
A representation of a real-world object on a map. Features can be represented in a GIS as vector data (points, lines, or polygons) or as cells in a raster data format. To be displayed in a GIS, features must have geometry and locational information.

(alternative)
A group of spatial elements that together represent a real-world entity. A complex feature is made up of more than one group of spatial elements: for example, a set of line elements with the common theme of roads representing a road network.

feature class
A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference. Feature classes can stand alone within a geodatabase or be contained within shapefiles, coverages, or other feature datasets. Feature classes allow homogeneous features to be grouped into a single unit for data storage purposes. For example, highways, primary roads, and secondary roads can be grouped into a line feature class named "roads". In a geodatabase, feature classes can also store annotation and dimensions.

Flattening
A measure of how much a spheroid differs from a sphere. The flattening is the ratio of the semimajor axis minus the semiminor axis to the semimajor axis.

floating point
A type of numeric field for storing real numbers with a decimal point. The decimal point can be in any position in the field and, thus, may "float" from one location to another for different values stored in the field. For example, a floating point field can store the numbers 23.632, 0.000087, and -96432.15.

Forward Sortation Area Centroid
DMTI Spatial's FSA boundaries include multi-polygon regions where appropriate (i.e. two or more polygons which form one region or entity in the database), reflecting the complexity inherent in FSA geography. Each of these regions will have a centroid coordinate associated with it.
FSA
Forward Sortation Area is the first three characters of the Canadian Postal Code.

Gather accurate research for location analysis
Analyze sales leads and customer lists
FSA Centroid
See Definition of Forward Sortation Area Centroid.
FSA LDU
Refers to the Canadian six digit postal code. FSA (Forward Sortation Area) represents the first three digits of a postal code and LDU (Local Delivery Unit) represents the last three digits of a postal code.
