Class Name: World Transformation
Subclasses
    This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.
Definition
 An instance of this DRM class is a
 <Transformation>, specified by a
 <Location> and a <World 3x3>,
 used to transform an object defined in an LSR spatial reference frame
 into another spatial reference frame (usually, but not always, a
 non-LSR spatial reference frame).
 A <World Transformation> is either
- defined in a non-LSR spatial reference frame, then used to instance
    an LSR <Model> into the non-LSR spatial
    reference frame, or
 
- defined within an LSR spatial reference frame (SRF_1), and then used
    to instance a <Model> embedded within another LSR
    spatial reference frame (SRF_2) into SRF_1, in a way that maintains
    the conformality of any <Location> instances in
    the <Model>.

Example
 Used when instancing a house onto geodetic terrain (defined by latitude
 and longitude). This allows the <Location> to
 position the house and the <World 3x3> to rotate
 and scale the house.
 See <Transformation> for examples.
