ESRI database of CRS definitions
Hello all
I have learn today that ESRI publishes under Apache 2 license a database
of Coordinate Reference System (CRS) definitions, in complement with
EPSG database. The ESRI database contains entries for some CRS not yet
in the EPSG database, together with entries for other planets than Earth.
https://github.com/Esri/projection-engine-db-doc/
The same entries are available in various formats; the most convenient
format for us may the the CSV tables, which we could translate to SQL
statements for the database.

Possibly. Proj4 includes some EPSG definitions + some ESRI definitions +
(maybe) other sources. So the ESRI database would cover all ESRI
definitions in Proj4 (we would keep the EPSG database for EPSG
definitions). I don't know yet about the other sources that may be
included in Proj.4 however.

Great news indeed!
If Apache SIS uses these definitions, would there still be entries in proj4j that would not be in Apache SIS?
