I've been talking to OGP folks, and they were not really interested - BTW, also not in our time coordinate reference systems; Time CRSs are being addressed within OGC, therefore: the OGC resolver serves space and (soon) time, and spatial requests will be forwarded to the EPSG service.

On including planetary CRSs in the OGC service we are talking with several people (inlc USGS, who likes the idea), but we decided to first get through with time before pursuing planetary stuff further.

OGC's CRS resolver (which we have implemented in FOSS) definitely allows such a scope extension.

cheers,
Peter

Hi,

is there planetary datum support in this new version (i.e. Moon 2000, or
etc.)?
No, I don't think that the EPSG folks are interested in other planets yet ;-)
But Frank mentionned some time ago (
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/IAU-2000-Coordinate-System-Dictionary-td3750798.html
) that he wanted to investigate how to deliver the IAU set of planetary
coordinate systems , but this hasn't been pursued further AFAIK.

I see there's a version of this file here :
http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/sr.org/srsbrowser/data/IAU2000.wkt

Hi,

I've followed the update process of the EPSG SRS database to latest v8.4,
and
just committed the updated files into libgeotiff, GDAL and PROJ trunk. Also

submitted to PostGIS.

 From what I can see, among many changes and additions, 2 new projection
methods have been added:
* 1051,Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP Michigan)
--> looks very close to standard "Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP)", with the
addition of a new parameter K, the ellipsoid scaling factor.
* 1052,Colombia Urban

I don't think any of those 2 new methods are currently handled by PROJ, so
the
new PCS based on those projection methods (3 Michigan SRS, and several
dozains
of Colombia PCS) will not be handled by GDAL nor PROJ.

Regarding GDAL, I've improved the add_esri_column.py script (see
http://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/changeset/2446), so that we have more ESRI
DATUM
names. That should make morphing from/to ESRI .prj files a bit better.

Regarding PROJ.4 'espg' and PostGIS spatial_ref_sys.sql files, I've also
added
the list of SRS that are GEOCCS (GeoCentric) and COMPD_CS (Compound
Horizontal
+ Vertical).

Please let me know if you see issues.
