[gdal-dev] RFC 73 (aka gdalsrsbarn) available for review

[Even Rouault]

Darafei,

A Geographic 3D CRS is a CRS, that is based on a geodetic reference frame 
(geodetic datum), and has a coordinate system with 3 axis: latitude, longitude 
and ellipsoidal height. For example EPSG:4979 is the code for the Geographic 
3D CRS corresponding to "WGS 84" (EPSG:4326 is the corresponding Geographic 2D 
CRS).

This is what is described in OGC 08-015r2 "Abstract Specification Topic 2 
Spatial referencing by coordinates"
https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=39049 
in "B.1.2.1 Principal subtypes of coordinate reference system" a) under the 
older term of "geodetic CRS using 3D ellipsoidal coodinates".
The newer revision of this document (expected for public release in the next 
weeks/months) will use the term "geographic 3D CRS".
