Martin Desruisseaux
I hold a Ph.D in oceanography, but has continuously focused on developing tools for data analysis. Programming experience was C/C++ until I switched to Java in 1997. I have been developing geospatial libraries for 30 years, and I’m contributing to Apache SIS since 2013. I follow Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) meetings since 2002 and is a member of the current ISO 19111 revision group. I work in a small IT services company (Geomatys) specialized in development of geoportals, which uses Apache SIS as a foundation. Beside, I’m also an Apache Maven committer.

First, an history of CRS at OGC: how WKT and abstract model evolved in parallel, what GML can do, why it nevertheless became legacy encoding. Then a look ahead: how OGC handles JSON encoding in future standards, implications for a CRS JSON, and revision of ISO 19111 abstract model.
Apache SIS is a Java library for metadata, referencing, feature and grid coverage services with a focus on implementing OGC/ISO abstract models. This talk shows how SIS can handle some non-trivial cases such as non-linear localization grids and rasters crossing the anti-meridian.
