Hey there
i was wondering how 3D referencing systems will be handled in the future in
PostGIS? When 3D-Datatypes, -Indexes, -Functions are introduced to the
PostGIS-World why are no 3D-srids delivered in the spatial_ref_sys by default?
I know that there are insert-stmts out there (spatialreference.org), but it
seems to me, as there hasn't been much of a discussion around it yet, nobody
knows what to do with it. I myself don't know much about 3d-crs. I could
imagine they are more precise etc.
The reason I'm asking is because I have recently ported a CityGML-Database with
Import/Export-tool from Oracle to PostGIS (in the context of my Master Thesis),
and on the oracle-side, the use of 3D-datatypes and 3D-indexes is restricted to
3d-srids. A bit of a pain but it also makes sense to me. So back to my first
question: What is the PostGIS-team (or other users) thinking about the
implementation and usage of 3D-crs?
Cheers
Felix
