<geoBndBox> Geographic Bounding Box

Description: The fundamental geometric description for any dataset that models geography. GeoBndBox is the minimum box, defined by west and east longitudes and north and south latitudes, that includes the largest geographic extent of the dataset's geographic coverage. This element is used in the first pass of a coordinate-based search. If the boundPoly element is included, then the geoBndBox element MUST be included.
