Hi Matej,
Thank you for the updates.
I have one question concerning the metadata templates: do I
understand correctly that by default, neither the basic, nor the
inspire template contain a reference to the projection system ?
IIUC, INSPIRE currently does not impose this, but I don't really
understand how such basic information can be missing from the
metadata. What help is the bounding box info, if we don't know in
which CRS it is ?
I agree that it sounds strange, however the bounding box is given in
geographic (unprojected) coordinates, and the ISO 19115:2003, where the
GeographicBoundingBox comes from, reads (B.3.2.1): "geographic position
of the dataset NOTE This is only an approximate reference so specifying
the coordinate reference system is unnecessary "
Using g.gui.metadata on the hospitals map in nc_spm_08, I get:
<gmd:extent>
<gmd:EX_Extent>
<gmd:geographicElement>
<gmd:EX_GeographicBoundingBox>
<gmd:westBoundLongitude>
<gco:Decimal>308097.937400562</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:westBoundLongitude>
<gmd:eastBoundLongitude>
<gco:Decimal>20235.5644005626</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:eastBoundLongitude>
<gmd:southBoundLatitude>
<gco:Decimal>914347.8748615</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:southBoundLatitude>
<gmd:northBoundLatitude>
<gco:Decimal>156998.1718615</gco:Decimal>
</gmd:northBoundLatitude>
</gmd:EX_GeographicBoundingBox>
</gmd:geographicElement>
</gmd:EX_Extent>
</gmd:extent>
Looks like projected coordinates to me...
Moritz
