This repository is used to work toward the development of an official OGC web ontology for coordinate reference systems (CRS).
At present, we're simply working on documenting the benefits of a CRS ontology, but we're hoping that more will come as people determine value in the work.

## Definitions
**spatial reference system:** A spatial reference system (SRS) is a system for establishing spatial position. A spatial reference system can use geographic identifiers (place names, for example), coordinates (in which case it is a coordinate reference system), or identifiers with structured geometry (in which case it is a discrete global grid system).

**coordinate system:** A coordinate system is a set of mathematical rules for specifying how coordinates are to be assigned to points.
