The primary datum controls the most degrees of freedom. The tertiary datum controls the least degrees of freedom. For this example, of a block of wood, datum A (the face) controls 3 degrees of freedom, B (first edge) controls 2 degrees of freedom, and C (second edge) controls 1 degree of freedom. 3+2+1 = 6, all 6 degrees of freedom are considered.
The common datum can be used as primary, secondary or tertiary datum. In either cases, the process to build a common datum is the same however additional orientation constraints shall be added when the common datum is used as secondary or tertiary datum as is done for datum systems and explained hereafter.
A geodetic datum or geodetic system (also: geodetic reference datum, geodetic reference system, or geodetic reference frame, or terrestrial reference frame) is a global datum reference or reference frame for unambiguously representing the position of locations on Earth by means of either geodetic coordinates (and related vertical coordinates) or geocentric coordinates.

The World Geodetic System (WGS) is a standard used in cartography, geodesy, and satellite navigation including GPS.The current version, WGS 84, defines an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system and a geodetic datum, and also describes the associated Earth Gravitational Model (EGM) and World Magnetic Model (WMM).
Tunnel datum is a datum based on an ordnance datum and used in designing tunnels which pass below sea level. for the London Underground, a tunnel datum of ODN −100 m is used; [7] thus a depth of −60 m AOD is 40 m ATD (above tunnel datum) for the Channel Tunnel, a tunnel datum of ODN −200 m is used; [8] thus a depth of −60 m is 140 m ATD
