Horizontal Coordinate System type

This keyword provides the type of the Horizontal Coordinate System. The type can be either PROJECTED, GEOGRAPHIC or OTHER.

PROJECTED means that the Horizontal Coordinate System is a cartographic projection
GEOGRAPHIC means that the Horizontal Coordinate System is unprojected (longitude/latitude used)
OTHER means that some other type is used, for example a local coordinate system associated to paper coordinate axis for a sanned cadastral map.

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

<Horizontal_CS>
  <HORIZONTAL_CS_TYPE>PROJECTED</HORIZONTAL_CS_TYPE>
  <HORIZONTAL_CS_NAME>Lambert 2 etendu France</HORIZONTAL_CS_NAME>
