[[User:Rmm|raphael]] 02:08, 21 February 2012 (UTC): Either compass point or point + degrees is fine. FYI, GML uses text abbreviations like "ESE", "NE".
<br>Is Cardinal Point the proper name for something whih also names the intermediate points?

(And we must not forget ''Southwest and by West three-quarters West''.)

	[[User:Rmm\|raphael]] ([[User talk:Rmm\|talk]]) 23:57, 25 May 2018 (CEST): Use of abbreviations was agreed in March 2017. The [[CARDIR]] page should be updated. It will need discussion because the registry currently (1) does not use the abbreviations and (2) defines the points in numeric terms, e.g., "west" is defined as "258.75-281.25 degrees" which may be too much precision for nautical publications. (Are nautical publications precise enough to distinguish "northwest" from "northnorthwest"?)

		+
		+	Also, there are similar attributes defined in different domains (windDirectionCompassPoint, waveDirectionCompassPoint, directionOfExpectedMovement). That may become another issue to be reconciled.
