This was referred in other addresses at the conference: spatialreference.org has not been maintained for several years; parts of proj4 are not, or poorly, maintained.<br/><br/>Besides a reference system database, it would also be quite useful to have a projection data base, including mathematical definitions, map sketches of their ouput and some clues or guidelines to its implementation (e.g. pseudo-code algorithms). This information is today very dispersed in the web.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/><br/>Luís<br/><br/>-------- Original Message --------<br/>Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Detect and define the coordinate system of gis data with no projection information automatically<br/>Local Time: August 28, 2016 6:05 PM<br/>UTC Time: August 28, 2016 4:05 PM<br/>From: manfred@egger-gis.at<br/>To: discuss@lists.osgeo.org<br/><br/>Hello,<br/><br/>At FOSS4G 2016 in Bonn i talked with Venkatesh Raghavan about my poster presentation "SHAPEFILE PROJECTIONFINDER".
