German term or phrase: exakte Rechtswert/Hochwert-Koordinaten auf eingemessenen Ka
This a product catalogue for an IT solution. I can't find any explanation for Rechtswert/Hochwert-Koordinaten, but it seems to me that it must mean something particular. Can anyone help?

Explanation:
Denomination of coordinates in cartography.

Das Gauß-Krüger-Koordinatensystem ist ein kartesisches Koordinatensystem, das es ermöglicht, hinreichend kleine Gebiete der Erde mit metrischen Koordinaten (Rechtswert und Hochwert) konform (winkeltreu) zu verorten:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauß-Krüger-Koordinatensystem

Die Verwendung der X-Achse für den Rechtswert[1] und der Y-Achse für den Hochwert[2] ist in Geoinformationssystemen üblich:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM-Koordinatensystem

UTM involves non-linear anisotropic scaling in both easting and northing to ensure the projected map of the ellipsoid is conformal:

Easting and Northing (X and Y) can be in Meters, US Survey Feet, or International Feet:

neutral  philgoddard: But what about the rest of the phrase?

  -> Thanks - I think the question is about Rechtswert/Hochwert-Koordinaten and I tried to give an explanation as well of eingemessene Karten within the discussion box (I found it hard to keep it simple).

disagree  yashia: I respectfully dissent. As the asker said, this occurs in the context of computer science, not geography.

Explanation:
This is a direct translation of Rechtswert und Hochwert. With my basic knowledge of computer science, I have seen the terms x and y many times. In context, I am confident that this is what it is talking about.

Example sentence(s):
  • Together, the x and y coordinates locate any specific pixel location on the screen.

disagree  Coqueiro: Gauss–Krüger as well as UTM coordinates are the only ones called Rechtswert/Hochwert and they are non linear
