Hi,
looking at the 4327 definition in the official epsg database:
GEOGCS["WGS 84 (geographic 3D)",
DATUM["World Geodetic System 1984",
SPHEROID["WGS 84", 6378137.0, 298.257223563,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0.0, AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
UNIT["DMS", 0.00000484813681109536],
AXIS["Geodetic longitude", EAST],
AXIS["Geodetic latitude", NORTH],
AXIS["Ellipsoidal height", UP],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","4327"]]
I'm wondering, what's with this Deegree/Minute/Seconds
unit? That's a way of presenting data, what's the supposed
way to store it?
This is giving me quite some headaches because Oracle 11G
defines 4327 (internally) as:
GEOGCS [ "WGS 84 (geographic 3D)", DATUM ["World Geodetic System 1984
(EPSG ID 6326)", SPHEROID ["WGS 84 (EPSG ID 7030)", 6378137,
298.257223563]], PRIMEM [ "Greenwich", 0.000000 ], UNIT ["Decimal
Degree", 0.01745329251994330]]
While you enjoy the utter brokenness of this WKT definition,
look at the unit...
I mean, it would be easy if DMS was supposed to be stored
as decimal degrees... but I'm just hoping for the unlikely.
Can anybody clarify?
Cheers
Andrea
