Hello all

The datum package should be complete for now, except for the problem of datum aliases. This issue exists because names of geodetic datum are the only way to differentiate two otherwise identical datum, but there is some variations in the choice of name among producers. JIRA task [1] gives more details. This issue is partially addressed in SIS by implementing heuristic rules in a "nameMatches(String)" method [2].

I would like a better method name for "nameMatches". If possible, I would like something that contains the word "heuristic" or "lenient" in it, or anything else which said the heuristic nature of this method. Does anyone have suggestions? I do not know if "nameMatchesHeuristically" or "heuristicNameMatches" would be correct English.

The current work is now on the "coordinate system" (CS) package [3]. After that package, the last package to create before a SIS 0.4 candidate would be "coordinate reference system" (CRS).
