Well, all of which I mentioned is optional. But I can come up with two use cases for wanting to know which level is the ground level: 1. Localization In an application, it is much nicer to be able to write "ground floor" (en-GB), "first floor" or "basement floor 2" than "level 0", "level M" or, worst, "level -1" To refer to a "level" may be even less understandable when trying to translate that into other languages. But for this to work, it is necessary for the application to know which level is the ground floor. 2. 3D indoor levels When displaying the floors of a multi-storey building in 3D on top of each other, you need to know where on the Z-Axis you have to place it.
