             Summary: Need MD_ReferenceSystem adapter
                 Key: SIS-431
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-431
             Project: Spatial Information Systems
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Metadata
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
            Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
             Fix For: 1.0


Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) are defined in details by the ISO 19111 
classes in GeoAPI {{org.opengis.referencing.*}} packages. But the ISO 19115 
metadata standards do not reference those CRS classes directly (except in one 
case). Instead the metadata standards reference CRS by their identifier (for 
example an EPSG code), optionally accompanied by a code telling whether the CRS 
type is geographic, projected, temporal, a compound of the above, _etc_. Those 
two information are combined in a {{MD_ReferenceSystem}} class referenced by 
the following properties:

||Class||Association to {{MD_ReferenceSystem}}||Association to a {{CRS}} subtype
|{{MD_Metadata}}|{{referenceSystemInfo}}| |
|{{LI_Source}}|{{sourceReferenceSystem}}| |
|{{EX_VerticalExtent}}|{{verticalCRSId}}|{{verticalCRS}}
|{{MI_GCPCollection}}|{{coordinateReferenceSystem}}| |

In order to have a more uniform way to handle reference systems, GeoAPI 
replaces those (_identifier_, _type code_) tuples by associations to the actual 
_Reference System_ objects.
GeoAPI does that by using the {{ReferenceSystem}} interface as the parent of 
{{CoordinateReferenceSystem}} interface.

However current Apache SIS implementation of {{MD_ReferenceSystem}} JAXB 
adapter marshalls the full CRS, which is not the expected behavior except in 
the {{verticalCRS}} case. We need to modify this adapter for marshalling only 
the identifier and the {{MD_ReferenceSystemTypeCode}} instead.

In the particular case of {{VerticalExtent}}, the proposal is to marshal the 
{{verticalCRSId}} if an EPSG code is available, or {{verticalCRS}} otherwise.
