I am invoking a csw server (Catalog Service for the Web) and I am trying to draw the bounding box of each record in the front end of my application.



One of the problems is that the coordinate system of the bounding box is not always in EPSG. What I recieve is something like this:



<ows:BoundingBox crs="urn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:6.11:4326" dimensions="2">
 <ows:LowerCorner>-1.7 -10.3</ows:LowerCorner>
 <ows:UpperCorner>5.4 5.1</ows:UpperCorner>
</ows:BoundingBox>


So the coordinate system information is condensed in a string like this:



urn:x-ogc:def:crs:EPSG:6.11:4326


But this string does not always make sense. For instance, sometimes I recieve strings like this:



urn:ogc:def:crs:::Lambert Azimuthal Projection


Is there a way to transform these coordinate system identifiers into WKT (well known text)? Doing so one can programmatically assign a coordinate system to these strings.






coordinate-system coordinates extents csw

    Do you know what the server is? Because the 2nd one is probably a bug

  • Yes, the second comes from a geonetwork server. The first from a geoserver.

OGC URNs are defined and described in OGC Document 07-092r1, the first one you have encountered is telling you that your data is in EPSG:4326 as defined in version 6.11 of the EPSG database (that is lat,lon).



The second one looks like either a major bug in GeoNetwork or (more likely) a user data input issue where some one has typed "Lambert Azimuthal Projection" into a box that was expecting an EPSG numeric code.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
