eml-spatialRaster

[Matt Jones]

Hi Laura,

I'm not an expert in this area of EML, but here's my understanding...

The spatialReference field (/eml/dataset/spatialRaster/spatialReference) 
contains the projection information.  You can provide it by either 
choosing one of the pre-defined projections that are listed in the 
eml-spatialReferenceDictionary.xml and listing its name in 
horizCoordSysName (see 
http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.0.1/eml-spatialReference.html#horizCoordSysName), 
or define a new coordinate system by filling in the information in 
horizCoordSysDef (see 
http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.0.1/eml-spatialReference.html#horizCoordSysDef).

As I said, I do not know this stuff well.  Others on eml-dev may be able 
to give more concrete advice and corrections, so I am cc'ing the list to 
see what we get back.
