Coordinate system syntax

Edit online

The coordinate system syntax is a string representation of a coordinate system.

The well-known text (WKT) format of spatial reference systems provides a standard textual representation for coordinate system information. The definitions of the well-known text representation are defined by the OGC Simple Features for SQL specification and the ISO SQL/MM Part 3: Spatial standard.

The WKT for the supported coordinate system for Geospatial Analytics, GCS_WGS_1984, is:

GEOGCS["WGS 84",DATUM["WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]'
