> +   <p>In order to allow interoperability between SVG content generators
> +and user agents dealing with maps encoded in SVG, the use of a common
> +metadata definition for describing the coordinate system used to
> +generate SVG documents is encouraged.</p>
> +
> +
> +   <p>Such metadata must be added under the <a data-link-type="element"
> href="https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/metadata.html#elementdef-metadata
> ">metadata</a> element of
> +the topmost <a data-link-type="element" href="https://svgwg.org/svg2-
> draft/struct.html#NewDocument">svg</a> element describing the map,
> consisting of an
> +RDF description of the Coordinate Reference System definition used to
> +generate the SVG map <a data-link-type="biblio"
> href="#biblio-rdf-primer">[RDF-PRIMER]</a>. Note that
> +the presence of this metadata does not affect the rendering of the SVG
> +in any way; it merely provides added semantic value for applications
> +that make use of combined maps.</p>
> +
> +
> +   <p>The definition must be conformant to the XML grammar described in
> +<a href="http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=20509"><cite>GML
> 3.2.1</cite></a>,
> +an OpenGIS Standard for encoding common CRS data types in XML
> +[<a href="refs.html#ref-GML">GML</a>]. In order to correctly map
> +the 2-dimensional data used by SVG, the CRS must be of subtype
> +<strong>ProjectedCRS</strong> or <strong>Geographic2dCRS</strong>. The
> +first axis of the described CRS maps the SVG <var>x</var>-axis and the
> +second axis maps the SVG <var>y</var>-axis.</p>
> +
> +
> +   <p>The main purpose of such metadata is to indicate to the user agent
> +that two or more SVG documents can be overlayed or merged into a single
> +document. Obviously, if two maps reference the same Coordinate Reference
> +System definition and have the same SVG <a class="property"
> data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/
> css-transforms-1/#propdef-transform">transform</a> property
> +value then they can be overlayed without reprojecting the data. If
> +the maps reference different Coordinate Reference Systems and/or have
> +different SVG <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="
> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-transforms-1/#propdef-transform">transform</a>
> property values, then a specialized
> +cartographic user agent may choose to transform the coordinate data to
> +overlay the data. However, typical SVG user agents are not required
> +to perform these types of transformations, or even recognize the
> +metadata. It is described in this specification so that the connection
> +between geographic coordinate systems and the SVG coordinate system is
> +clear.</p>

> +
> +
> +   <p>There are three typical uses for the <a data-link-type="dfn"
> href="#svgtransform">svg:transform</a>
> +global attribute. These are described below and used in the examples.</p>
> +
> +
> +   <ul>
> +
> +    <li>Most ProjectedCRS have the north direction represented by
> +  positive values of the second axis and conversely SVG has a
> +  <var>y</var>-down coordinate system. That’s why, in order to follow
> the
> +  usual way to represent a map with the north at its top, it is
> +  recommended for that kind of ProjectedCRS to use the
> +  <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#svgtransform">svg:transform</a>
> +  global attribute with a <span class="css">scale(1, -1)</span> value as
> in the
> +  third example below.
> +
> +
> +    <li>Most Geographic2dCRS have the latitude as their first
> +  axis rather than the longitude, which means that the
> +  south-north axis would be represented by the <var>x</var>-axis in SVG
> +  instead of the usual <var>y</var>-axis. That’s why, in order to follow
> +  the usual way to represent a map with the north at its top,
> +  it is recommended for that kind of Geographic2dCRS to use the
> +  <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#svgtransform">svg:transform'</a>
> +  global attribute with a <span class="css">rotate(-90)</span> value as
> in the
> +  first example (while also adding the <span class="css">scale(1,
> -1)</span> as for
> +  ProjectedCRS).
> +
> +
> +    <li>In addition, when converting for profiles which place
> +  restrictions on precision of real number values, it may be
> +  useful to add an additional scaling factor to retain good
> +  precision for a specific area. When generating an SVG
> +  document from WGS84 geographic coordinates (EPGS 4326), we
> +  recommend the use of an additional 100 times scaling factor
> +  corresponding to an <a data-link-type="dfn" href="#svgtransform">svg:
> transform</a>
> +  global attribute with a <span class="css">rotate(-90) scale(100)</span>
> +  value (shown in the second example).
> +  Different scaling values may be required depending on the
> +  particular CRS.
