Ellipsoid identification code

This record provides the ellipsoid identification code according to the tables specified by GEO_TABLES (it is highly recommended to use a namespace prefix such as epsg: in front of the code itself). Please note that this code can be either a number or a string of characters (no blanks).

Check the Dimap Reference manual for a complete description of the Geodetic scheme used in Dimap.

Example :
 
<Ellipsoid>
  <ELLIPSOID_NAME>Ellipse_Everest_1830_1937_Adjustment</ELLIPSOID_NAME>
  <ELLIPSOID_CODE>epsg:7015</ELLIPSOID_CODE>
</Ellipsoid>

or

<Ellipsoid>
  <ELLIPSOID_NAME>Special Ellipsoid</ELLIPSOID_NAME>
  <Ellipsoid_Parameters>
    ...
  </Ellipsoid_Parameters>
</Ellipsoid>
