+/**
+ * Descriptions and values of parameters used by a coordinate operation or a 
process.
+ * An explanation for this package is provided in the {@linkplain 
org.opengis.parameter OpenGIS® javadoc}.
+ * The remaining discussion on this page is specific to the SIS implementation.
+ *
+ * <p>Parameters are organized in <cite>groups</cite>. A group may be for 
example the set of all parameters needed
+ * for the definition of a <cite>Mercator projection</cite>. When using this 
{@code org.apache.sis.parameter} package,
+ * the starting point is usually to obtain a {@linkplain 
org.apache.sis.parameter.DefaultParameterDescriptorGroup
+ * parameter group descriptor} for the operation of interest. Those groups are 
provided by the operation implementors,
+ * so users do not need to create their own.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Each parameter have a name and a cardinality (i.e. the parameter may be 
mandatory or optional). Parameter values
+ * may also be constrained to a {@linkplain 
org.apache.sis.parameter.DefaultParameterDescriptor#getValueDomain() domain},
+ * have a {@linkplain 
org.apache.sis.parameter.DefaultParameterDescriptor#getDefaultValue() default 
value} and a
+ * {@linkplain org.apache.sis.parameter.DefaultParameterDescriptor#getUnit() 
unit of measurement}.
+ * All those information are provided by the descriptors.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Given a group descriptor, users can obtain a new instance of parameter 
values by a call to the
+ * {@link 
org.apache.sis.parameter.DefaultParameterDescriptorGroup#createValue() 
createValue()} method.
+ * New value groups initially contain all mandatory parameters with their 
default values and no optional parameter.
+ * A {@link 
org.apache.sis.parameter.DefaultParameterValueGroup#parameter(String) 
parameter(String)} convenience
+ * method is provided for fetching a parameter regardless of whether it was 
present or not — optional parameters
+ * are created when first needed.</p>
+ *
+ * <div class="note"><b>Example:</b> the following code snippet assumes that 
the implementor of a Mercator projection
+ * provides a {@code ParameterDescriptorGroup} instance in a {@code 
PARAMETERS} static constant:
+ *
+ * {@preformat java
+ *     ParameterValueGroup group = Mercator.PARAMETERS.createValue();
+ *     group.parameter("Longitude of natural origin").setValue(-60);   // 
Using default units (e.g. degrees).
+ *     group.parameter("False easting").setValue(200.0, SI.KILOMETRE); // 
Using explicit units.
+ * }
+ * </div>
