Right, for CRSs this is in the WCS DescribeCoverage response for a coverage inquired. I am digesting the idea of doing a similar thing with spatiotemporal domains, as Aaron suggests. -Peter Ron Lake wrote:
Hi,I think the idea that all CRS's can be well know is a stretch. One only need to change the origin or make a rotation to create a new CRS. I think this problem is solved by having the service advertise the CRS that it supports and use URN's to identify the CRS. A registry like (http://www.epsg-registry.org) can then be used toresolve the URN reference and get the CRS definition.Ron
