q - Model

Three-dimensional representation of a real object.

r - Remote-sensing image

Image produced by a recording device that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object under study.

s - Section

Scaled representation of a vertical surface (commonly a plane) displaying both the the intersection profile or some conceptual model, and the underlying structures, e.g., geological section.

u - Unspecified
y - View

Perspective representation of the landscape shown as if it were projected onto an oblique plane.

z - Other

u - Unknown
v - Leather
w - Parchment

Skin of a sheep or goat prepared for writing on.

x - Not applicable

Physical medium is not applicable to remote digital cartographic resources because it pertains to characteristics specific to physical aspects of carriers.

y - Other photographic medium

Photographic medium other than those covered by one of the more specific codes q, r, s, and t.

z - Other
| - No attempt to code
05 - Type of reproduction

Whether the cartographic item is a facsimile or other type of reproduction.
