Description	A coordinate represents a position.
Method	getCoordinateType
Description	Gets the `Type` of this `Coordinate` which indicates the format of the coordinate data.
Return	`osid.type.Type`	the coordinate type
Compliance	`mandatory`	This method must be implemented.
Method	getDimensions
Description	Gets the number of dimensions available in this coordinate.
Return	`cardinal`	the number of dimensions
Compliance	`mandatory`	This method must be implemented.
Method	getValues
Description	Gets the values of this coordinate. The size of the returned array equals `getDimensions()`.
Return	`decimal[]`	the coordinate values
Compliance	`mandatory`	This method must be implemented.
Method	definesUncertainty
Description	Tests if uncertainty is defined for this heading.
Return	`boolean`	`true` if uncertainty is defined, `false` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`	This method must be implemented.
Method	getUncertaintyMinus
Description	Gets the uncertainty in the negtive direction for each value of this coordinate. The size of the returned array equals `getDimensions()`.
Return	`decimal[]`	the negative uncertainty values
Compliance	`mandatory`	This method must be implemented.
Method	getUncertaintyPlus
Description	Gets the uncertainty in the positive direction for each value of this coordinate. The size of the returned array equals `getDimensions()`.
Return	`decimal[]`	the positive uncertainty values
Compliance	`mandatory`	This method must be implemented.
