>> There are two problems to solve before tools like SHAPEFILE<br></div><div>

>> 1. Until today there is no stable free service running like<br></div><div>

>><br></div><div>
>> 2. Until today there is no open source database which includes all<br></div><div>
>> coordinate system with epsg-code and additionally user and esri definded<br></div><div>
>> grids.<br></div><div>

>> There are open source solutions like:<br></div><div>
>><br></div><div>
>> - spatialrefrence.org<br></div><div>
>> - epsg.io<br></div><div>
>><br></div><div>
>> But in the detail both solutions have problems to update their database<br></div><div>
>> with low costs.<br></div><div>
>><br></div><div>
>> Maybe OSGeo can promote a stable service with load balancing on the base<br></div><div>
>> of an existing solution like epsg.io including Aarons idea?<br></div><div>

>> Maybe organisation like UN, a university or EU (INTERREG) are possible<br></div><div>
