@prushforth scripsit > MapML takes the approach of defining its own domain of values for "projection"/ TCRS. The register of values and their definition is in the specification, so it's self-contained / descriptive. Despite having spent two years on the SDW WG, I'm obviously not yet familiar with all gespatial lingo... What exactly is a TCRS? I guess it's some kind of Coordinate Reference System, but I can't make out the T. > The register of values and their definition is in the specification, so it's self-contained / descriptive.

As with all conneg related things, there are registries of allowed/accepted values (managed by IANA) and there are process in place to add new values (e. g. http headers or language tags) to them. Is there a canonical registry for CRSs? -- GitHub Notification of comment by larsgsvensson Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/311#issuecomment-411728226 using your GitHub account
