Discuss spec attribute metadata fields in relation to S104/S111 and S100 spec standards

princessmittens opened this issue · comments

As per the discussion in PR #15 there is some redundancy between S104 and S100 spec. Further discussion is required to decide whether or not drop the horizontalDatumReference given that the horizontalDatum references the same thing which can lead to some confusion in addition to the possibility of both containing contrasting values (i.e. EPSG vs S100).

This can be tabled until new spec is available. It is not clear in the current spec.

This will be addressed by issue #44, usage of horizontalCRS has been harmonized between S104 1.1.0, S-111 1.2.0 and S-100 5.0.0.
horizontalDatumReference and horizontalDatum are now only required if the coordinate system doesn't have a EPSG code.
