Re: [galeon] How to map a parameterized projection to an EPSG code

Hi Ron,

The structure of a URN is so that you can create one - NOT so that they

is simple mistaken.
I agree. And I think the complexity involved in the creation of one reinforces the misunderstanding. 


GML is used now in the http://www.epsg-registry.org.  This registry and
the assignment of EPSG codes is controlled by the registration
authority, in this case the OGP.  Another such registry could easily be
deployed assuming that someone is willing to be the registration
authority and this could have perhaps a difference governance model than
used by the OGP.  The 19111 new parts will make their way into GML of
course.
Thanks Ron. I wasn't that aware of the EPSG registry (I've only perused the MS Access stuff) or that it used GML. 

Thanks,

Ethan
