I'm trying to create a CoordinateReferenceSystem for a WKT entry containing
a PROJECTION["Gauss_Kruger"], but noticed that there is only a
MathTransformProvider with the alias "Gauss-Kruger" (notice the hyphen
instead of the underscore) available when using the hsql database.
I didn't find anything on the web about this, so does anyone has a hint on
whether this is a glitch in the database, or in my WKT? (The latter is
coming from a shapefile's prj-file.)
"Gauss-Kruger" is really the name used in the EPSG database (EPSG code
9807); this is not a glitch. However, all those CRS and projection names
are not really standardized, which is why we observe some variations
among vendor. And this is why there is often many alias for the same
thing ("Gauss-Kruger" is actually an alias for "Transverse Mercator").
If the "Gauss_Kruger" name come from some authority like ESRI, we can
easily add this name to our alias list.
