Complete datum
A datum containing exactly all the constants needed for specifying the coordinate system used. By definition, all geodetic datums (in sense (1)) are complete datums. However, the term datum is sometimes applied to sets of constants insufficient to specify the coordinate system. Then usually certain constants are assumed but are not specified. e.g., one or more of the constants specifying the orientation of the coordinate system are often omitted if a conventional orientation can be inferred.
