Coordinate systems – no problems...
What is origin?
What is direction?
What is unit of measurement?
You have choices:
Thousands of different coordinate systems
Good ones and bad ones
Old vs new
Local vs global

Georeferencing, geotagging,
Georeferencing
”To georeference something means to define its existence in
physical space”, Wikipedia
Especially for aerial and satellite imagery
Geotagging
Add coordinates to single item, like picture taken with mobile
phone
