Committee chair Jack Verouden (Shell) said, ‘The EPSG database is now the world’s standard reference source for positional data and it is appropriate that we are now maintaining and enhancing this valuable resource. The most recent addition is a guidance note titled ‘Geodetic Awareness. This should be essential reading for all non-geodesists working with different coordinate reference systems. The note, datasets and standards are available free from www.ogp.org.uk.
