positiePosition

PositiePosition is a term found in Dutch-language technical documentation and software that denotes the spatial position of an object within a defined reference frame. It is not a universal standard, but a descriptive label used in APIs, data models, and datasets to represent where an object is located in three-dimensional space.

A typical positiePosition contains coordinates and may include orientation. The coordinates are usually x, y, and z; orientation can be represented by yaw (heading) or by a three-dimensional rotation such as a quaternion or Euler angles (roll, pitch, yaw). In many systems, an associated timestamp and sometimes a velocity or confidence metric are included.

Representations vary by technology. In programming, positiePosition may be modeled as a struct, class, or key-value map. Serialized forms include JSON, XML, or specialized robotics messages (for example, a Pose or Transform message in robotics frameworks). In computer graphics, it can be part of a transformation matrix or a Scene Graph node.

Relation and variants: The concept is closely related to pose, position, and location. Different ecosystems may name the element differently, such as Position, Pose, or Location, and may differ in whether orientation is mandatory or optional.

Etymology and usage: The word positie is Dutch for position, and positiePosition blends this with the English word Position, reflecting bilingual naming common in some technical communities.
