<b>Definition</b>: Category of vertical domain of the object delimited. (e.g. airspace, land_surface, water_surface, water_column, seabed_surface, subsoil ). The code list may be extended.

The <b>Territorial Sea</b> spans all of the vertical domains; however, the <b>EEZ </b>is the water surface, water column, seabed surface and subsoil.<br/>
