Page "Geodesy" Paragraph 33
from
Wikipedia
Because geodetic point coordinates ( and heights ) are always obtained in a system that has been constructed itself using real observations, geodesists introduce the concept of a geodetic datum: a physical realization of a coordinate system used for describing point locations.
The realization is the result of choosing conventional coordinate values for one or more datum points.
