For Cartesian Coordinates we have terms and definitions in 3 topics. The topics are Cad, Quantum Chemistry and Real Time 3D.

Cartesian Coordinates (Cad)

A three dimensional system whereby the position of
a point can be defined with reference to a set of axes at right angles to each other.

Cartesian Coordinates (Quantum Chemistry)

The positions in space of the atoms in a molecule listed as triples (x, y, z).

Cartesian Coordinates (Real Time 3D)

The most common way of describing and delineating 3D space. Space is delineated by three vectors at right angles to each other, labeled by longtime convention as X, Y, and Z, and starting at a center point called the Origin. This coordinate system is based on the ideas of Rene Descartes, aka Cartesius of the "Cognito ergo sum" fame (I think, therefore I am). It is a very efficient way to describe space, so most RT3D engines use this system.
