[MetaCRS] failed epsg wkt (geotools)

[Norm Olsen]

Hello Christopher . . .

I think you can safely ignore all coordinate system definitions with a code value higher than 32767.  Essentially, they have all been deprecated.  In fact, you might want to consider ignoring all coordinate system definitions which are deprecated.

The 4882 -> 4892 set are all geocentric definitions.  Is there a form of WKT which handles geocentric coordinate systems?  I don't think I've ever seen a geocentric WKT.  If there is such a thing, could you send me an example?

Norm

SpatialReference.org now has a full EPSG database, pulled from the
latest EPSG data files, with WKT produced by either GDAL or GeoTools for
every code except for the following (along with their error messages
from GeoTools):

5818 failed:  Unknow axis direction: "Along receiver lines".

4890 failed:  Unknow axis direction: "Geocentre > equator/0?E".
4892 failed:  Unknow axis direction: "Geocentre > equator/0?E".

This is mostly just a 'for the record': At some point, I may look into
this more to see if these codes should actually exist in some way. 5818
is almost definitely "no", since the scope says "Example only", but the
4882 -> 4892 set seems like a clear pattern that bears investigation.

If anyone has suggestions as to ways to obtain sane WKT for these
remaining codes, I'd love to hear suggestions.

Regards,
