DBH Device-Based Hybrid [Apple] 2019-03-21
DBH2 A Device-Based Hybrid system (typically on a mobile device) produces a compound location that includes a full or partial Civic Address in addition to the Geodetic Location normally expected from a DBH system. Distinct from RevGeo because, even if the DBH system uses reverse-geocoding to determine the Civic Location, the DBH system determines and delivers the Civic Location, not a downstream entity. [NENA-REQ-003.1-2022][Tom_Hsu] 2022-09-15
DBH_HELO Device-Based Hybrid using Apple Hybridized Emergency Location [Apple] 2019-03-21
Derived This value is intended to represent a location object determined by geocoding or reverse geocoding a location determined by some other method. [Brian_Rosen] 2008-07-15
Derived-RevGeo A full or partial Civic Location, which is not validated against an LVF, is derived by reversegeocoding a Geodetic Location. The original Geodetic Location MUST also be delivered with the derived Civic Location. Used when a downstream entity other than the calling device reverse-geocodes a Geodetic Location it received from an upstream entity, such as location services/DBH. [NENA-REQ-003.1-2022][Tom_Hsu] 2022-09-15
DerivedRevGeo-LVF A full or partial Civic Location, which is validated against an LVF, is derived by reverse-geocoding a Geodetic Location. [NENA-REQ-003.1-2022][Tom_Hsu] 2022-09-15
