Data Modelling of Map Projections

A data model for map projections is needed for building up coordinate reference system management systems. There you store coordinate reference system definitions and relationships between them. Map projections define a specific relationship between corresponding coordinate reference systems.

For creating a data model of map projections, first it needs a systematization of map projections.

Both, a systematization of map projections as well as data model of map projections is found in:
