terminology: a position and a facing

Question

my units have a function that returns a position (vec3) and a facing (quaternion) for any point in time.

A position and direction is perhaps called a ray or, in some contexts, a line segment; however, neither of these sounds appropriate in this context and neither normally has a quaternion...

What better name should a compound position and facing be called?

Answer 1

Well, the Robotics people call it pose (position+orientation).

Answer 2

It's usually called a Transform (sometimes shortened to xForm). It also usually includes scale.
