The theory of Plücker coordinates and Grassmann varieties is well-developed and well-known among the algebraic geometers. It gives a one-to-one correspondence between the set of all subspaces of a given dimension in the ambient projective space and the set of points on a certain projective algebraic variety called a Grassmann variety. The unacquainted can find the theory discussed in detail in Hodge-Pedoe [1, Chapters VII and XIV].
