[Proj] [gdal-dev] Coordinate system improvements - GDAL, libgeotiff, PROJ barn raising

[Kristian Evers]

Even,

You can get the GIGS documents here:

https://www.iogp.org/bookstore/product/geospatial-integrity-of-geoscience-software-part-1-gigs-guidelines/
https://www.iogp.org/bookstore/product/geospatial-integrity-of-geoscience-software-part-2-gigs-software-review/
http://www.iogp.org/bookstore/product/geospatial-integrity-of-geoscience-software-part-3-user-guide-for-the-gigs-test-dataset/

Unfortunately the test datasets comes in unstructured spreadsheets… Micah Cochran did a tremendous job of translating
that JSON for use with pyproj which I then a year or so later converted to the gie format.

There are still a number of tests that we can’t reliable pass in PROJ. I believe some, if not all, of them will be taken care
of during the work you have now committed to.

Hi Martin,



Thanks for the pointers and interest. I'm certainly interested in seing solid testing and interoperability.

Not yet, but there will be definitely tests.

Where is GIGS described ? I couldn't find much online documentation. I do see proj has now a test/gigs directory with tests converted to the .gie format, but I couldn't find the source content

Python bindings over what ?

I guess the GeoAPI tests would be needed to be ported/adapted to whatever solution is adopted for proj testing. I don't really feel like using the proj JNI wrapper through Apache SIS would be an ideal solution : too many components aggegated, and I'm not sure if JNI wrapper will have all the new capabilities exposed.
