7 General message format and information elements coding p. 19

This clause describes a coding method for geographical area descriptions. A geographical area description is coded as a finite bit string. In the figures, the bit string is described by octets from top downward, and in the octet from left to right. Number encoding strings start with the most significant bit.

7.1 Overview p. 20

A bit string encoding a geographical description shall consist of the following parts:

Type of Shape;
Shape Description.

Such a bit string is usually part of an information element. The structure of the information element (e.g., element identifier, length) depends on the protocol in which the message containing the description is defined, and is specified in the protocol specification.

This organisation is illustrated in the example shown in Figure 4.
