########## Geospatial.md: ########## @@ -44,8 +44,12 @@ locations on Earth. The default CRS `OGC:CRS84` means that the geospatial features must be stored in the order of longitude/latitude based on the WGS84 datum. -Custom CRS can be specified by a string value. It is recommended to use an -identifier-based approach like [Spatial reference identifier][srid]. +Non-default CRS values are specified by any string that uniquely identifies a coordinate reference system associated with this type. +To maximize interoperability, suggested (but not limited to) formats for CRS are: +* `<projjson>` - A complete CRS definition embedded directly using the [PROJJSON](https://proj.org/en/stable/specifications/projjson.html) specification. Example for `OGC:CRS83`: `{"$schema": "https://proj.org/schemas/v0.7/projjson.schema.json","type": "GeographicCRS","name": "NAD83 (CRS83)","datum": {"type": "GeodeticReferenceFrame"...` Review Comment: Since this should be quite obvious how to implement, my feeling is that we do not need to specify exactly how a reader is supposed to parse those fields (like, there would be nothing wrong with a reader that first checks if the string is projjson, before trying to check for `srid:..`, instead of the other way around) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
