Hi Francois,

I like the idea of being able to select a coordinate reference system from an EPSG list. I've looked at the crs.xsl and it seems that the elements are not from the ISO 19139 CT_CrsCatalogue. Is that the case? Can the code read an ISO 19139 CT_CrsCatalogue XML file? If not I would strongly suggest that this also be included.

Thanks.

John

Hello John,

2010/3/4 <John.Hockaday@anonymised.com>:

Hi Francois,

I like the idea of being able to select a coordinate reference system from an EPSG list. I've looked at the crs.xsl and it seems that the elements are not from the ISO 19139 CT_CrsCatalogue. Is that the case? Can the code read an ISO 19139 CT_CrsCatalogue XML file? If not I would strongly suggest that this also be included.

True, as mentionned in the proposal, the CRS search service use the
GeoTools EPSG database we already have in our dependencies.

Using CT_CrsCatalogue, is another option which require more works at
least on some points I think:
* search engine : how to search in the CT_CrsCatalogue (eg. Lucene)
* handle xpointer
* (optional) allow viewing/editing of the CT_CrsCatalogue

We have a CT_CrsCatalogue in GeoNetwork 19139 schema directory, but it
looks to be only a sample one with 5 systems in it. Do you know if a
more complete document exist somewhere ? or if users are supposed to
create their own ?

At least the client side interface could be the same and we could make
another crs search service implementation based on CT_CrsCatalogue on
future release.

I updated the proposal with your comments. Thanks.

Francois

Thanks.

John

Hi Francois,

Great! That was on my to-do-list!

Hope it gets a few +1's.

Cheers,

I support the ingest of metadata with coordinates in various CRS, however, for the purpose of search, any entries whose extent is documented in other CRS should be translated for indexing into the equivalent WGS84 coordinates for parity. Otherwise, spatial search in GN will be incomplete.

Thanks.

Yes, the indexed bounding boxes all have to end up in the same CRS or there's not much point...

True, as mentionned in the proposal, the CRS search service use the
GeoTools EPSG database we already have in our dependencies.

Using CT_CrsCatalogue, is another option which require more works at
least on some points I think:
* search engine : how to search in the CT_CrsCatalogue (eg. Lucene)

Of course this should be open for discussion but may I suggest that the following fields could be indexed by Lucene:
        - gml:GeodeticCRS@anonymised.com:id
        - gml:GeodeticCRS/gml:identifier
        - gml:GeodeticCRS/gml:name
        - gml:GeodeticCRS/gml:domainOfValidity/../gmd:code/CharacterString
        - gml:GeodeticCRS/gml:scope
Similarly for the other types of CRS for example, gml:ProjectedCRS.

* handle xpointer
* (optional) allow viewing/editing of the CT_CrsCatalogue

I believe this should be done outside of the coordinate reference system selection process. It should be handled by an administrator role via another application. For example, "import and validate an CT_CrsCatalogue XML file".

We have a CT_CrsCatalogue in GeoNetwork 19139 schema directory, but it
looks to be only a sample one with 5 systems in it. Do you know if a
more complete document exist somewhere ? or if users are supposed to
create their own ?

We have taken the EPSG and excluded those coordinate reference systems that are not likely to be used by Australia and New Zealand. This will provide a pick list that is not too lengthy and more appropriate to our use.

The CT_CrsCatalogue file is available from the ANZLIC metadata profile related information web age at URL:

http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/profileinfo/

The URL of the actual CT_CrsCatalogue file is:

http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/profileinfo/anzlic-gmxCrs.xml

This may help in the development but won't be suitable for most people except Australians and New Zealanders. However, I think that this XML file was created by translating the EPSG GML export into CT_CrsCatalogue format. I think the XSLT to do this was developed by CSIRO in Western Australia for ANZLIC - the Spatial Information Council. They may be able to provide the XSLT for other translations with permission from ANZLIC.

At least the client side interface could be the same and we could make
another crs search service implementation based on CT_CrsCatalogue on
future release.

That will be perfect. The more that ISO TC 211 and OGC standards are used for the implementation, storage, processing etc. the better.

I updated the proposal with your comments. Thanks.

Thank you very much.

John
