-- Name -- baseline -- Definition -- The line from which the outer limits of the territorial sea and certain other outer limits are measured. -- Description -- SOURCE IHO Dictionary, S-32, Fifth Edition. NOTE The baseline comprises of one or more baseline segments. According to United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the baseline segment can be normal, straight or archipelagic depending on the method used to determine the baseline segment. COMMENT: For this moment there is no clearly identified use-case that would require Baseline spatial object types, therefore it is not strictly necessary to include these objects in the dataset.
-- Name -- maritime boundary -- Definition -- A line depicting the separation of any type of maritime jurisdiction. -- Description -- SOURCE IHO Dictionary, S-32, Fifth Edition. NOTE 1 Maritime boundary represents either: 1) the seaward outer limits of the maritime zones of a coastal State, such as territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf; 2) the limits of the maritime zones of States with opposite or adjacent coasts. Maritime boundaries are a politically sensitive subject, because it affects coastal State's jurisdiction concerning fishery, petroleum and other resources of the sea as well as other uses of the sea.
