A Discrete Global Grid (DGG) is a mathematical and conceptual framework used to represent geographic data in a regular, grid-like manner across the Earth's surface. Unlike traditional geographic coordinate systems based on latitude and longitude, which can suffer from issues like varying resolution or distortion, DGGs provide a way to partition the globe into a uniform tiling of cells or grid elements.
