# Height (`height`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Vertical size of a person or an object, such as the height of a person, a building, a product package or an image. Datasets usually keep it as a number in a column named height, with the unit in the value, the column name or the metadata, for example centimetres or inches for people, metres for buildings and pixels for images. The value alone does not tell height from width or another length, so detection relies on the column name. Height of a place above sea level is the datatype elevation.
