<br>
In the last days i finished my work with Shapefile ProjectionFinder and published a free version for all worldwide registered EPSG - Codes in geotools 2.6.0 basing on local transformations.<br>
<br>
During testing i saw that ArcGis 10.3.1 do not read WKT generated by <a href="http://geotools.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">geotools.org</a>. I get a unknown projection message !<br>
<br>
QGIS can read WKT by geotools without any problems.<br>
<br>
So i offer in my GUI two options (look at png) which WKT the user can generate (OGC or ESRI).<br>
<br>
I think it would be important to offer in this maybe new projection database a ESRI WKT, too. In <a href="http://spatialreference.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">spatialreference.org</a> there is a ESRI option.<br>
<br>
Using ESRI as database was not my intention.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Manfred<br>

Alright, we should start we these :<br>
- spatialreference<br>
- <a href="http://epsg.io" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">epsg.io</a><br>
- projections/index.html<br>
- <a href="https://github.com/ebrelsford/projestions#api" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/ebrelsford/<wbr>projestions#api</a><br>
- <a href="http://www.epsg-registry.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.epsg-registry.org/</a><br>
- ESRI<br>
<br>
Now we can seek for their projection databases format.<br>
<br>
Spatialreference est écrit en python avec django (REST). I don't know about<br>
the native format it uses, but we could ask Howard. I am not sure if it is<br>
a SGBDR.<br>
<br>
EPSG.io uses the epsg registry parsed into a sqlite database (about 36Mo),<br>
unreadable.<br>
<br>
projections/index.html is using Sphinx templating.<br>
<br>
</span><a href="https://github.com/ebrelsford/projestions#api" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/ebrelsford/<wbr>projestions#api</a> is EPSG <<a href="http://www.epsg.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.epsg.org/</a>>'s<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">CRS data over a postgist table i think.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.epsg-registry.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.epsg-registry.org/</a> I don't really know. It seems to be private<br>
code. Eventhough, we can download raw data from it in 5 different format.<br>
<br>
ESRI. I don't know. Manfred ?<br>
