# DO.COM.05 GooglePlusCode ### DO.COM.05 GooglePlusCode As GooglePlusCodes are frequently used to describe locations, this data object provides the representation of a location in the format of a [Google Plus Code](https://maps.google.com/pluscodes/), which can be embedded into the existing [do.com.04-geolocation](https://standards.spdci.org/standards/standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/common-standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/data/data-objects/do.com.04-geolocation "mention") object. For a more detailed reference, please look at the official [Google Documentation for Plus Codes](https://github.com/google/open-location-code/wiki/Plus-codes-API) here. **Reference**: [Google Plus Codes](https://maps.google.com/pluscodes/), [Google Documentation for Plus Codes](https://github.com/google/open-location-code/wiki/Plus-codes-API) ### Hint {% hint style="info" %} The DCI [naming-conventions](https://standards.spdci.org/standards/standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/naming-conventions "mention") for the data objects used within this data object, which would usually be CamelCase, are neglected here, as it is a Google-specific format and conversion is intended to be made as easy as possible for the users. This means that, e.g. plus\_code is snake\_case (Google) instead of CamelCase (DCI). Also, longitude and latitude, which are represented as a full word in the DCI [do.com.04-geolocation](https://standards.spdci.org/standards/standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/common-standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/data/data-objects/do.com.04-geolocation "mention") object (compliant with the FHIR standard [Location - HL7 FHIR v5.0.0](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/location.html)) are shortened to lng and lat here to comply with the Google spec for the same reason as above. This is an exception for user convenience. The standard representation for a location within DCI is [do.com.04-geolocation](https://standards.spdci.org/standards/standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/common-standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/data/data-objects/do.com.04-geolocation "mention"). {% endhint %} ### GooglePlusCode The GooglePlusCode object represents a structured entity encompassing the details and various components of a specific location.
