This pull request defines the structure of GeodeticCitationGeoKey
. Some requirements in GeoTIFF specification seem to implicitly require a similar structure for VerticalCitationGeoKey
and ProjectedCitationGeoKey
as well — see https://github.com/opengeospatial/geotiff/issues/59#issuecomment-1761681813. Current pull request does not cover those two latter cases.
In the planetary working group, there is a need for aliases because names or identifiers of some asteroids (for example) can change. The ISO 19111 specification already supports aliases, but not GeoTIFF. A possible approach would be as below:
"GCS Name = my CRS|Datum = My datum|Ellipsoid = my ellipsoid|Datum = My Datum alias|"
, "My datum" would be the primary datum name and "My datum alias" would be an alias for that datum.
