Summary
		  This function constructs a geospatial element index
		  specification.
	  
	  
	  
	
	  
	    | Parameters | 
	  
	
	  
	    | namespace | 
	    
	      The namespace URI.
       | 
	  
	  
	    | localname | 
	    
	      The local name for the node.
       | 
	  
	  
	    | coordinate-system | 
	    
         The coordinate system.  Must be one of wgs84,
         wgs84/double, etrs89,
         etrs89/double, raw, raw/double.
       | 
	  
	  
	    | range-value-positions | 
	    
	      A boolean specifying whether to maintain value positions
	      in this index (used with co-occurrences).
       | 
	  
	  
	    | point-format | 
	    
	      The point format in the data: "point" means latitude precedes longitude (this is the default);
	      "long-lat-point" means longitude precedes latitude.  To use the default value of
	      "point", simply omit this parameter.  Do not specify an empty string.
       | 
	  
	  
	    | invalid-values | 
	    
        An option to handle values that do not meet the range index type.
        Must be one of: reject (default), ignore.

Example
  
  const admin = require('/MarkLogic/admin.xqy');
  admin.databaseGeospatialElementIndex(
           "/my/namespace",
           "elementname",
	   "wgs84",
	   fn.false(),
	   "longLatPoint" )
   //returns the geospatial element index specification
