polygon(al) network, tesselation Explanation: My guess is that a 'kringnet' and a 'polygonal network' are the same, the 'or' just refers to two different names for the same thing (one Dutch, the other quasi-English). A Google search for 'polygon'(al) network' + geodesy yields very few hits, but the technical term used in geodesy for such a network is apparently 'tesselation'. refs: the first is the only relevant Dutch hit -- a text from the TUDelft geodesics dept with several illustrations of kringnetten the second ref is a quite good English glossary of geodesic terms -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-03 21:20:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- oops, that should be \'tessellation\' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-03 21:22:00 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- and \'the\'or\' \' should be \'the \'en\' \' (you get the idea...)

traverse network Explanation: Emailed Professor Teunissen (head of the department of Geodesy at the University of Delft. He told me that they use traverse network for kringnet. Voila! --Ann Professor Teunissen is my reference ;-) |
