[Esri software]
In a geodatabase, the method of storing coincident feature coordinates. For example, if two lines are coincident, they will be drawn with one line lying precisely on top of the other. For two adjacent polygons, the coordinates for the shared boundary will be stored with each polygon, and the boundary will be drawn twice.
