1. Datum (geodesy)

   Linked via "Helmert Transformation"

   The Molodensky Formulas: These require three translation parameters ($Tx, Ty, T_z$) to shift the origin and address first-order differences in ellipsoid parameters. They are theoretically limited as they do not account for differential rotation or scale differences [5].
   The Seven-Parameter Helmert Transformation: This model extends Molodensky's approach by adding three rotation parameters ($\omegax, \omegay, \omega_z$) and one scale factor ($s$), providing a more comprehensive six-degree-of-freedom fit, p…

2. World Geodetic System 1984

   Linked via "Helmert transformations"

   Relationship to Other Datums
   WGS 84 is mathematically related to other geodetic datums through specific seven-parameter Helmert transformations. Due to its global nature and geocentric origin, it often serves as the modern replacement for older, non-geocentric systems such as the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27) [1].
