EPSG geodetic parameter dataset v6.7 release

Version 6.7 of the EPSG geodetic parameter dataset has been released and
may be downloaded without charge from  <http://www.epsg.org/>
www.epsg.org. This release contains a number of corrections to data in
the previous v6.6 (October 2004) release together with additional
geodetic data for Antarctica, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Finland,
Libya, Netherlands, Nigeria, Philippines, Syria and the UK Channel
Islands. Additional cross references to data obtained from
EuroGeographics and the US NGA Technical Report 8350.2 have also been
included. As in previous releases the v6.7 dataset is available in two
forms: an MS Access database which also includes a data reporting
capability, and as SQL scripts for populating an alternative relational
database application. The v6.7 release is accompanied by updated
versions of Guidance Notes 7 part 1 and 7 part 2.
 
Please note that since the previous dataset release, the European
Petroleum Survey Group has reformed as the Surveying and Positioning
Committee of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers
(OGP). The EPSG Geodesy Working Group has reformed as the Geodesy
Subcommittee of the OGP Surveying and Positioning Committee. This
Geodesy Subcommittee continues with the same members as the previous
EPSG Geodesy Working Group. This OGP Geodesy Subcommittee will continue
to maintain the dataset. The dataset will continue to be known as the
EPSG (geodetic parameter) dataset.
