Module Documentation: eml-spatialReference
Back to EML Contents
The eml-spatialReference module allows for the description of the relationship between locational references made in the dataset and the real world. A spatial referencing system typically consists of the identification of a datum, a spheroid, and a set of parameters used in the mathematical projection from geographic to planar coordinates.
