EPSG variant name |
coordinate_transformation |
|
Where more than one transformation exists between coordinate systems, a variant is added to characterize which of the transformations this one is. The variant is the additional part to determine the uniqueness of the transformation. It is in Column 5 of the Coordinate transformation table in v5.0 of the EPSG release. |
