Dear Oscar, > When do you plan to have this KB of coordinate systems already publicly > available? We would love to be able to reuse it. This is clearly on our todo list! With the Linking Geospatial Data workshop coming up, we will definitively push the publication of such a resource early next year. Our early motivation is that France is using different coordinate systems for geolocalizing geographical objects, such as: Lambert93 in the Metropolitan area, RGFG95 in Guyanne (French Antilles), RGR92 in Réunion (near Madagascar), RGM04 in Mayotte, RGSPM06 in St-Pierre-et-Miquelon, etc. The problem is that often, the CRS is implicit and you have of course to interpret differently the lat/long values given in a spreadsheet. Besides a vocabulary and a knowledge base, we are also about to publish a REST service that can convert data represented in on CRS to WGS84. Can you describe what is your use case with LocaliData ? Cheers.
