+Summary
+-------
+
+This RFC is the result of a first phase of the `GDAL Coordinate System Barn Raising`_
+efforts. In its current state, this work mostly consists of:
+
+ - a C++ implementation of the ISO-19111:2018 / OGC Topic 2 "Referencing by
+ coordinates" classes to represent Datums, Coordinate systems, CRSs
+ (Coordinate Reference Systems) and Coordinate Operations.
+ - methods to convert between this C++ modeling and WKT1, WKT2 and PROJ string representations of those objects
+ - management and query of a SQLite3 database of CRS and Coordinate Operation definition
+ - a C API binding part of those capabilities

+
+Structure in packages / namespaces
+**********************************
+
+The C++ implementation of the (upcoming) ISO-19111:2018 / OGC Topic 2 "Referencing by
+coordinates" classes follows this abstract modeling as much as possible, using
+package names as C++ namespaces, abstract classes and method names. A new
+BoundCRS class has been added to cover the modeling of the WKT2 BoundCRS
+construct, that is a generalization of the WKT1 TOWGS84 concept. It is
+strongly recommended to have the ISO-19111 standard open to have an introduction
+for the concepts when looking at the code. A few classes have also been
+inspired by the GeoAPI
+
+The classes are organized into several namespaces:
+
+ - osgeo::proj::util
+ A set of base types from ISO 19103, GeoAPI and other PROJ "technical"
+ specific classes
+
+ Template optional<T>, classes BaseObject, IComparable, BoxedValue,
+ ArrayOfBaseObject, PropertyMap, LocalName, NameSpace, GenericName,
+ NameFactory, CodeList, Exception, InvalidValueTypeException,
+ UnsupportedOperationException
+
+ - osgeo::proj::metadata:
+ Common classes from ISO 19115 (Metadata) standard
+
+ Classes Citation, GeographicExtent, GeographicBoundingBox,
+ TemporalExtent, VerticalExtent, Extent, Identifier, PositionalAccuracy,
+
+ - osgeo::proj::common:
+ Common classes: UnitOfMeasure, Measure, Scale, Angle, Length, DateTime,
+ DateEpoch, IdentifiedObject, ObjectDomain, ObjectUsage
+
+ - osgeo::proj::cs:
+ Coordinate systems and their axis
+
+ Classes AxisDirection, Meridian, CoordinateSystemAxis, CoordinateSystem,
+ SphericalCS, EllipsoidalCS, VerticalCS, CartesianCS, OrdinalCS,
+ ParametricCS, TemporalCS, DateTimeTemporalCS, TemporalCountCS,
+ TemporalMeasureCS
+
+ - osgeo::proj::datum:
+ Datum (the relationship of a coordinate system to the body)
+
+ Classes Ellipsoid, PrimeMeridian, Datum, DatumEnsemble,
+ GeodeticReferenceFrame, DynamicGeodeticReferenceFrame,
+ VerticalReferenceFrame, DynamicVerticalReferenceFrame, TemporalDatum,
+ EngineeringDatum, ParametricDatum
+
+ - osgeo::proj::crs:
+ CRS = coordinate reference system = coordinate system with a datum
+
+ Classes CRS, GeodeticCRS, GeographicCRS, DerivedCRS, ProjectedCRS,
+ VerticalCRS, CompoundCRS, BoundCRS, TemporalCRS, EngineeringCRS,
+ ParametricCRS, DerivedGeodeticCRS, DerivedGeographicCRS,
+ DerivedProjectedCRS, DerivedVerticalCRS
+
+ - osgeo::proj::operation:
+ Coordinate operations (relationship between any two coordinate
+ reference systems)
+
+ Classes CoordinateOperation, GeneralOperationParameter,
+ OperationParameter, GeneralParameterValue, ParameterValue,
+ OperationParameterValue, OperationMethod, InvalidOperation,
+ SingleOperation, Conversion, Transformation, PointMotionOperation,
+ ConcatenatedOperation
+
+ - osgeo::proj::io:
+ I/O classes: WKTFormatter, PROJStringFormatter, FormattingException,
+ ParsingException, IWKTExportable, IPROJStringExportable, WKTNode,
+ WKTParser, PROJStringParser, DatabaseContext, AuthorityFactory,
+ FactoryException, NoSuchAuthorityCodeException
+
+What does what?
+***************
+
+The code to parse WKT and PROJ strings and build ISO-19111 objects is
+contained in `io.cpp`_
+
+The code to format WKT and PROJ strings from ISO-19111 objects is mostly
+contained in the related exportToWKT() and exportToPROJString() methods
+overridden in the applicable classes. `io.cpp`_ contains the general mechanics
+to build such strings.
+
+Regarding WKT strings, three variants are handled in import and export:
+
+ - WKT2_2018: variant corresponding to the upcoming ISO-19162:2018 standard
+
+ - WKT2_2015: variant corresponding to the current ISO-19162:2015 standard
+
+ - WKT1_GDAL: variant corresponding to the way GDAL understands the OGC
+ 01-099 and OGC 99-049 standards
+
+Regarding PROJ strings, two variants are handled in import and export:
+
+ - PROJ5: variant used by PROJ >= 5, possibly using pipeline constructs,
+ and avoiding +towgs84 / +nadgrids legacy constructs. This variant honours
+ axis order and input/output units. That is the pipeline for the conversion
+ of EPSG:4326 to EPSG:32631 will assume that the input coordinates are in
+ latitude, longitude order, with degrees.
+
+ - PROJ4: variant used by PROJ 4.x
+
+The raw query of the proj.db database and the upper level construction of
+ISO-19111 objects from the database contents is done in `factory.cpp`_
+
+A few design principles
+***********************
+
+Methods generally take and return xxxNNPtr objects, that is non-null shared
+pointers (pointers with internal reference counting). The advantage of this
+approach is that the user has not to care about the life-cycle of the
+instances (and this makes the code leak-free by design). The only point of
+attention is to make sure no reference cycles are made. This is the case for
+all classes, except the CoordinateOperation class that point to CRS for
+sourceCRS and targetCRS members, whereas DerivedCRS point to a Conversion
+instance (which derives from CoordinateOperation). This issue was detected in
+the ISO-19111 standard. The solution adopted here is to use std::weak_ptr
+in the CoordinateOperation class to avoid the cycle. This design artifact is
+transparent to users.
+
+Another important design point is that all ISO19111 objects are immutable after
+creation, that is they only have getters that do not modify their states.
+Consequently they could possibly use in a thread-safe way. There are however
+classes like PROJStringFormatter, WKTFormatter, DatabaseContext, AuthorityFactory
+and CoordinateOperationContext whose instances are mutable and thus can not be
+used by multiple threads at once.
+
+Example how to build the EPSG:4326 / WGS84 Geographic2D definition from scratch:
+
+::
+
+ auto greenwich = PrimeMeridian::create(
+ util::PropertyMap()
+ .set(metadata::Identifier::CODESPACE_KEY,
+ metadata::Identifier::EPSG)
+ .set(metadata::Identifier::CODE_KEY, 8901)
+ .set(common::IdentifiedObject::NAME_KEY, "Greenwich"),
+ common::Angle(0));
+ // actually predefined as PrimeMeridian::GREENWICH constant
+
+ auto ellipsoid = Ellipsoid::createFlattenedSphere(
+ util::PropertyMap()
+ .set(metadata::Identifier::CODESPACE_KEY, metadata::Identifier::EPSG)
+ .set(metadata::Identifier::CODE_KEY, 7030)
+ .set(common::IdentifiedObject::NAME_KEY, "WGS 84"),
+ common::Length(6378137),
+ common::Scale(298.257223563));
+ // actually predefined as Ellipsoid::WGS84 constant
+
+ auto datum = GeodeticReferenceFrame::create(
+ util::PropertyMap()
+ .set(metadata::Identifier::CODESPACE_KEY, metadata::Identifier::EPSG)
+ .set(metadata::Identifier::CODE_KEY, 6326)
+ .set(common::IdentifiedObject::NAME_KEY, "World Geodetic System 1984");
+ ellipsoid
+ util::optional<std::string>(), // anchor
+ greenwich);
+ // actually predefined as GeodeticReferenceFrame::EPSG_6326 constant
+
+ auto geogCRS = GeographicCRS::create(
+ util::PropertyMap()
+ .set(metadata::Identifier::CODESPACE_KEY, metadata::Identifier::EPSG)
+ .set(metadata::Identifier::CODE_KEY, 4326)
+ .set(common::IdentifiedObject::NAME_KEY, "WGS 84"),
+ datum,
+ cs::EllipsoidalCS::createLatitudeLongitude(scommon::UnitOfMeasure::DEGREE));
+ // actually predefined as GeographicCRS::EPSG_4326 constant
+
+Algorithmic focus
+*****************
+
+On the algorithmic side, a somewhat involved logic is the
+CoordinateOperationFactory::createOperations() in `coordinateoperation.cpp`_
+that takes a pair of source and target CRS and returns a set of possible
+`coordinate operations`_ (either single operations like a Conversion or a
+Transformation, or concatenated operations). It uses the intrinsinc structure
+of those objects to create the coordinate operation pipeline. That is, if
+going from a ProjectedCRS to another one, by doing first the inverse conversion
+from the source ProjectedCRS to its base GeographicCRS, then finding the
+appropriate transformation(s) from this base GeographicCRS to the base
+GeographicCRS of the target CRS, and then appyling the conversion from this
+base GeographicCRS to the target ProjectedCRS. At each step, it queries the
+database to find if one or several transformations are available. The
+resulting coordinate operations are filtered, and sorted, with user provided hints:
+
+ - desired accuracy
+ - area of use, defined as a bounding box in longitude, latitude space (its
+ actual CRS does not matter for the intended use)
+ - if no area of use is defined, if and how the area of use of the source
+ and target CRS should be used. By default, the smallest area of use is
+ used. The rationale is for example when transforming between a national
+ ProjectedCRS and a world-scope GeographicCRS to use the are of use of
+ this ProjectedCRS to select the appropriate datum shifts.
+ - how the area of use of the candidate transformations and the desired area of
+ use (either explicitly or implicitly defined, as explained above) are
+ compared. By default, only transformations whose area of use is fully
+ contained in the desired area of use are selected. It is also possible
+ to relax this test by specifying that only an intersection test must be used.
+ - whether `PROJ transformation grid`_ names should be susbstituted to the
+ official names, when a match is found in the `grid_alternatives` table
+ of the database. Defaults to true
+ - whether the availability of those grids should be used to filter and sort
+ the results. By default, the transformations using grids available in the
+ system will be presented first.
+
+The results are sorted, with the most relevant ones appearing first in the
+result vector. The criteria used are in that order
+
+ - grid actual availability: operations referencing grids not available will be
+ listed after ones with available grids
+ - grid potential availability: operation referencing grids not known at
+ all in the proj.db will be listed after operations with grids known, but
+ not available.
+ - known accuracy: operations with unknown accuracies will be listed
+ after operations with known accuracy
+ - area of use: operations with smaller area of use (the intersection of the
+ operation area of used with the desired area of use) will be listed after
+ the ones with larger area of use
+ - accuracy: operations with lower accuracy will be listed after operations
+ with higher accuracy (caution: lower accuracy actually means a higher numeric
+ value of the accuracy property, since it is a precision in metre)
+
+All those settings can be specified in the CoordinateOperationContext instance
+passed to createOperations().
+
+An interesting example to understand how those parameters play together is
+to use `projinfo -s EPSG:4267 -t EPSG:4326` (NAD27 to WGS84 conversions),
+and see how specifying desired area of use, spatial criterion, grid availability,
+etc. affects the results.
+
+The following command currently returns 78 results:
+
+::
+
+ projinfo -s EPSG:4267 -t EPSG:4326 --summary --spatial-test intersects
+
+The createOperations() algorithm also does a kind of "CRS routing".
+A typical example is if wanting to transform between CRS A and
+CRS B, but no direct transformation is referenced in proj.db between those.
+But if there are transformations between A <--> C and B <--> C, then it
+is possible to build a concatenated operation A --> C --> B. The typical
+example is when C is WGS84, but the implementation is generic and just finds
+a common pivot from the database. An example of finding a non-WGS84 pivot is
+when searching a transformation between EPSG:4326 and EPSG:6668 (JGD2011 -
+Japanese Geodetic Datum 2011), which has no direct transformation registered
+in the EPSG database . However there are transformations between those two
+CRS and JGD2000 (and also Tokyo datum, but that one involves less accurate
+transformations)
+
+::
+
+ projinfo -s EPSG:4326 -t EPSG:6668 --grid-check none --bbox 135.42,34.84,142.14,41.58 --summary
+
+ Candidate operations found: 7
+ unknown id, Inverse of JGD2000 to WGS 84 (1) + JGD2000 to JGD2011 (1), 1.2 m, Japan - northern Honshu
+ unknown id, Inverse of JGD2000 to WGS 84 (1) + JGD2000 to JGD2011 (2), 2 m, Japan excluding northern main province

+Database
+--------
+
+Content
+*******
+
+The database contains CRS and coordinate operation definitions from the `EPSG`_
+database (IOGP’s EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset) v9.5.3,
+`IGNF registry`_ (French National Geographic Institute), ESRI database, as well
+as a few customizations.

+
+Building (for PROJ developers creating the database)
+****************************************************
+
+The building of the database is a several stage process:
+
+Construct SQL scripts for EPSG
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The first stage consists in constructing .sql scripts mostly with
+CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements to create the database structure and
+populate it. There is one .sql file for each database table, populated
+with the content of the EPSG database, automatically
+generated with the `build_db.py`_ script, which processes the PostgreSQL
+dumps issued by IOGP. A number of other scripts are dedicated to manual
+editing, for example `grid_alternatives.sql`_ file that binds official
+grid names to PROJ grid names
+
+Concert UTF8 SQL to sqlite3 db
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The second stage is done automatically by the make process. It pipes the
+.sql script, in the right order, to the sqlite3 binary to generate a
+first version of the proj.db SQLite3 database.
+
+Add extra registries
+++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The third stage consists in creating additional .sql files from the
+content of other registries. For that process, we need to bind some
+definitions of those registries to those of the EPSG database, to be
+able to link to existing objects and detect some boring duplicates.
+The `ignf.sql`_ file has been generated using
+the `build_db_create_ignf.py`_ script from the current data/IGNF file
+that contains CRS definitions (and implicit transformations to WGS84)
+as PROJ.4 strings.
+The `esri.sql`_ file has been generated using the `build_db_from_esri.py`_
+script, from the .csv files in
+https://github.com/Esri/projection-engine-db-doc/tree/master/csv
+
+Finalize proj.db
+++++++++++++++++
+
+The last stage runs make again to incorporate the new .sql files generated
+in the previous stage (so the process of building the database involves
+a kind of bootstrapping...)
+
+Building (for PROJ users)
+*************************
+
+The make process just runs the second stage mentionned above from the .sql
+files. The resulting proj.db is currently 5.3 MB large.
+
+Structure
+*********
+
+The database is structured into the following tables and views. They generally
+match a ISO-19111 concept, and is generally close to the general structure of
+the EPSG database. Regarding identification of objects, where the EPSG database
+only contains a 'code' numeric column, the PROJ database identifies objects
+with a (auth_name, code) tuple of string values, allowing several registries to
+be combined together.
+
+- Technical:
+ - `authority_list`: view enumerating the authorities present in the database. Currently: EPSG, IGNF, PROJ
+ - `metadata`: a few key/value pairs, for example to indicate the version of the registries imported in the database
+ - `object_view`: synthetic view listing objects (ellipsoids, datums, CRS, coordinate operations...) code and name, and the table name where they are further described
+ - `alias_names`: list possible alias for the `name` field of object table
+ - `link_from_deprecated_to_non_deprecated`: to handle the link between old ESRI to new ESRI/EPSG codes
+
+- Commmon:
+ - `unit_of_measure`: table with UnitOfMeasure definitions.
+ - `area`: table with area-of-use (bounding boxes) applicable to CRS and coordinate operations.
+
+- Coordinate systems:
+ - `axis`: table with CoordinateSystemAxis definitions.
+ - `coordinate_system`: table with CoordinateSystem definitions.
+
+- Ellipsoid and datums:
+ - `ellipsoid`: table with ellipsoid definitions.
+ - `prime_meridian`: table with PrimeMeridian definitions.
+ - `geodetic_datum`: table with GeodeticReferenceFrame definitions.
+ - `vertical_datum`: table with VerticalReferenceFrame definitions.
+
+- CRS:
+ - `geodetic_crs`: table with GeodeticCRS and GeographicCRS definitions.
+ - `projected_crs`: table with ProjectedCRS definitions.
+ - `vertical_crs`: table with VerticalCRS definitions.
+ - `compound_crs`: table with CompoundCRS definitions.
+
+- Coordinate operations:
+ - `coordinate_operation_view`: view giving a number of common attributes shared by the concrete tables implementing CoordinateOperation
+ - `conversion`: table with definitions of Conversion (mostly parameter and values of Projection)
+ - `concatenated_operation`: table with definitions of ConcatenatedOperation.
+ - `grid_transformation`: table with all grid-based transformations.
+ - `grid_packages`: table listing packages in which grids can be found. ie "proj-datumgrid", "proj-datumgrid-europe", ...
+ - `grid_alternatives`: table binding official grid names to PROJ grid names. e.g "Und_min2.5x2.5_egm2008_isw=82_WGS84_TideFree.gz" --> "egm08_25.gtx"
+ - `helmert_transformation`: table with all Helmert-based transformations.
+ - `other_transformation`: table with other type of transformations.
+
+The main departure with the structure of the EPSG database is the split of
+the various coordinate operations over several tables. This was done mostly
+for human-readability as the EPSG organization of coordoperation,
+coordoperationmethod, coordoperationparam, coordoperationparamusage,
+coordoperationparamvalue tables makes it hard to grasp at once all the
+parameters and values for a given operation.
+
+
+Utilities
+---------
+
+A new `projinfo` utility has been added. It enables the user to enter a CRS or
+coordinate operation by a AUTHORITY:CODE, PROJ string or WKT string, and see
+it translated in the different flavors of PROJ and WKT strings.
+It also enables to build coordinate operations between two CRSs.
+
+Usage
+*****
+
+::
+
+ usage: projinfo [-o formats] [-k crs|operation] [--summary] [-q]
+ [--bbox min_long,min_lat,max_long,max_lat]
+ [--spatial-test contains|intersects]
+ [--crs-extent-use none|both|intersection|smallest]
+ [--grid-check none|discard_missing|sort]
+ [--boundcrs-to-wgs84]
+ {object_definition} | (-s {srs_def} -t {srs_def})
+
+ -o: formats is a comma separated combination of: all,default,PROJ4,PROJ,WKT_ALL,WKT2_2015,WKT2_2018,WKT1_GDAL
+ Except 'all' and 'default', other format can be preceded by '-' to disable them

+
+C API
+-----
+
+`proj.h`_ has been extended to bind a number of C++ classes/methods to a C API.
+
+The main structure is an opaque PJ_OBJ* roughly encapsulating a osgeo::proj::BaseObject,
+that can represent a CRS or a CoordinateOperation object. A number of the
+C functions will work only if the right type of underlying C++ object is used
+with them. Misuse will be properly handled at runtime. If a user passes
+a PJ_OBJ* representing a coordinate operation to a pj_obj_crs_xxxx() function,
+it will properly error out. This design has been chosen over creating a
+dedicate PJ_xxx object for each C++ class, because such an approach would
+require adding many conversion and free functions for little benefit.
+
+This C API is incomplete. In particular, it does not allow to
+build ISO19111 objects at hand. However it currently permits a number of
+actions:
+
+ - building CRS and coordinate operations from WKT and PROJ strings, or
+ from the proj.db database
+ - exporting CRS and coordinate operations as WKT and PROJ strings
+ - querying main attributes of those objects
+ - finding coordinate operations between two CRS.
+
+`test_c_api.cpp`_ should demonstrates simple usage of the API (note:
+for the conveniency of writing the tests in C++, test_c_api.cpp wraps the C PJ_OBJ*
+instances in C++ 'keeper' objects that automatically call the pj_obj_unref()
+function at function end. In a pure C use, the caller must use pj_obj_unref()
+to prevent leaks.)

+Documentation
+-------------
+
+All public C++ classes and methods and C functions are documented with
+Doxygen.

+.. _`Spaghetti inheritance diagram`: http://even.rouault.free.fr/proj_cpp_api/html/inherits.html
+
+A basic integration of the Doxygen XML output into the general PROJ
+documentation (using reStructuredText format) has been done with the the
+Sphinx extension `Breathe`_, producing:
+
+ * `One section with the C++ API`_
+ * `One section with the C API`_
+
+.. _`Breathe`: https://breathe.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

+.. _`One section with the C API`: http://even.rouault.free.fr/proj_cpp_api/rst_generated/html/development/reference/functions.html#c-api-for-iso-19111-functionality
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+Nearly all exported methods are tested by a unit test. Global line coverage
+of the new files is 92%. Those tests represent 16k lines of codes.
+
+
+Build requirements
+------------------
+
+The new code leverages on a number of C++11 features (auto keyword, constexpr,
+initializer list, std::shared_ptr, lambda functions, etc.), which means that
+a C++11-compliant compiler must be used to generate PROJ:
+
+ * gcc >= 4.8
+ * clang >= 3.3
+ * Visual Studio >= 2015.
+
+Compilers tested by the Travis-CI and AppVeyor continuous integration
+environments:
+
+ * GCC 4.8
+ * mingw-w64-x86-64 4.8
+ * clang 5.0
+ * Apple LLVM version 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.39.2)
+ * MSVC 2015 32 and 64 bit
+ * MSVC 2017 32 and 64 bit
+
+The libsqlite3 >= 3.7 development package must also be available. And the sqlite3
+binary must be available to build the proj.db files from the .sql files.
+
+Runtime requirements
+--------------------
+
+* libc++/libstdc++/MSVC runtime consistent with the compiler used
+* libsqlite3 >= 3.7
+
+
+Backward compatibility
+----------------------
+
+At this stage, no backward compatibility issue is foreseen, as no
+existing functional C code has been modified to use the new capabilities
+
+Future work
+-----------
+
+The work described in this RFC will be pursued in a number of directions.
+Non-exhaustively:
+
+ - Support for ESRI WKT1 dialect (PROJ currently ingest the ProjectedCRS in
+ `esri.sql`_ in that dialect, but there is no mapping between it and EPSG
+ operation and parameter names, so conversion to PROJ strings does not
+ always work.
+
+ - closer integration with the existing code base. In particular, the +init=dict:code
+ syntax should now go first to the database (then the `epsg` and `IGNF`
+ files can be removed). Similarly proj_create_crs_to_crs() could use the
+ new capabilities to find an appropriate coordinate transformation.
+
+ - and whatever else changes are needed to address GDAL and libgeotiff needs
+
+
+Adoption status
+---------------
+
+The RFC has been adopted with support from PSC members Kurt Schwehr, Kristian
+Evers, Howard Butler and Even Rouault.

+Molodensky-Badekas transform
+================================================================================
+
+.. versionadded:: 6.0.0
+
+The Molodensky-Badekas transformation changes coordinates from one reference frame to
+another by means of a 10-parameter shift.
+
+.. note::
+
+ It should not be confused with the :ref:`Molodensky` transform which
+ operates directly in the geodetic coordinates. Molodensky-Badekas can rather
+ be seen as a variation of :ref:`Helmert`

+
+The Molodensky-Badekas transformation is a variation of the :ref:`Helmert` where
+the rotational terms are not directly applied to the ECEF coordinates, but on
+cartesian coordinates relative to a reference point (usually close to Earth surface,
+and to the area of use of the transformation). When ``px`` = ``py`` = ``pz`` = 0,
+this is equivalent to a 7-parameter Helmert transformation.
+
+Example
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Transforming coordinates from La Canoa to REGVEN:
+
+::
+
+ proj=molobadekas convention=coordinate_frame
+ x=-270.933 y=115.599 z=-360.226 rx=-5.266 ry=-1.238 rz=2.381
+ s=-5.109 px=2464351.59 py=-5783466.61 pz=974809.81
+
+
+Parameters
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+.. note::
+
+ All parameters (except convention) are optional but at least one should be
+ used, otherwise the operation will return the coordinates unchanged.
+
+.. option:: +convention=coordinate_frame/position_vector
+
+ Indicates the convention to express the rotational terms when a 3D-Helmert /
+ 7-parameter more transform is involved.
+
+ The two conventions are equally popular and a frequent source of confusion.
+ The coordinate frame convention is also described as an clockwise
+ rotation of the coordinate frame. It corresponds to EPSG method code
+ 1034 (in the geocentric domain) or 9636 (in the geographic domain)
+ The position vector convention is also described as an anticlockwise
+ (counter-clockwise) rotation of the coordinate frame.
+ It corresponds to as EPSG method code 1061 (in the geocentric domain) or
+ 1063 (in the geographic domain).
+
+ The result obtained with parameters specified in a given convention
+ can be obtained in the other convention by negating the rotational parameters
+ (``rx``, ``ry``, ``rz``)

+In the *Coordinate Frame* convention, :math:`R_x = - radians \left( rx \right)`,
+:math:`R_z = - radians \left( ry \right)` and :math:`R_z = - radians \left( rz \right)`
