SRM Tutorial
The SRM is a unified approach for the representation and use of spatial location information. Designed as a standalone technology, the SRM provides a complete and concise treatment of the different descriptions of spatial location, and precisely defines the relationship between various spatial reference frames. This tutorial will provide a detailed review of the SRM capabilities, concepts, and requirements. Challenges and issues in implementing precise and efficient coordinate transformations and conversions will be discussed, and an overview of the SRM reference implementation software, and its API, will be provided.
Those interested in gaining a more complete understanding of the SRM, and those who plan to use it as a stand alone component, or as part of a SEDRIS-based application development project.
Prior knowledge of other SEDRIS technologies is not required, however prior attendance at either the "Introduction to SEDRIS for Managers" or the "Fundamentally SEDRIS: The Technology Components" tutorial is recommended.
At completion, the attendee will have an appreciation for the complexities involved with the use and accurate description of coordinate systems. Topics such as Earth reference models, horizontal and vertical datums, and ellipsoids and geoids will be covered, among others.
