A benchmark provides an opportunity to evaluate the claims of advanced technology and high performance presented by the marketing/sales force of competing data conversion, hardware and GIS software vendors.
Benchmark Tests are standardized routines for comparing the performance of competing hardware and software under conditions intended to reflect common patterns of use.
Benchmark tests Various standard tests, easily duplicated, for assisting in measurement of product performance under typical conditions of use.

Benchmarks are spaced at approximately 2-km intervals along major highways and railways.
While vertical control may be established by many different methods, the primary vertical control network is established using differential levelling only.
Benchmarking Setting reference points or standards by which behaviors or developments can be measured at a point in time or over time; ...
Benchmark
In the process of surveying an area, indicators are placed at significant locations to act as reference points for further measurements.
Benchmark - (1) A point of known elevation above an accepted datum, established by surveyors for use as reference and control in mapping; ...
One of the benchmarks of Phanerozoic life occurred near its beginning with the great explosion of animal life forms in the Cambrian (Burgess shale fauna, mention on page 20-12).
* They provide a benchmark for privately commissioned reports, which still have validity for many clients.
e.g. instruments, benchmarks used, name of surveyor, date
most systems do not yet allow such lineage information to be stored directly with the data

Starting from a benchmark, a position with known location and elevation, the distance and angles to the unknown point are measured.
Therefore, the almost-constant-size property of the data should help GIS build good index, and hence a good data to be part of the benchmark.
Variable: There are no constraints on the individual sizes of the objects (see Fig.~\ref{fig:varsize}).

HAMMER uses the Method of Characteristics - the benchmark standard and unquestionably the most rigorous and robust algorithm for hydraulic transient flow analysis with over 20 years of proven real-world implementation.
Surveyors traditionally transferred heights between benchmarks using levelling equipment based on gravity.
IMPULSE is an Oracle-based database system with a central core of data on pupils, establishments, assessment results, benchmarking, contextual data and financial data.
It is easy to model existing routes in their predefined sequence. People can now set a benchmark of existing routes to gain an accurate snapshot of costs involved in operating their fleet.

Differential correction requires a second GPS receiver, a base station, collecting data at a stationary position on a precisely known point (typically it is a surveyed benchmark).
(6) vegetative surface cover, including woods, scrubs, orchards, vineyards, and marshes and swamps; (7) nonvegetative features including lava, sand, and gravel; (8) survey and control markers, including horizontal and vertical positions of benchmarks; ...
This will help to plan a course of work that is focused on the critical details of the project, and avoid spending too much time modeling things that are of no consequense. Knowing the goals in advance will also provide a benchmark against which our ...
