Prime meridian identification code

This record provides the code for identification of the prime meridian of the geographic coordinate system, and used for georeferencing the current map. The code refers to the coding system indicated in GEO_TABLES (it is highly recommended to use a namespace prefix such as epsg: in front of the code itself).

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

Example :
 
<Prime_Meridian>
  <PRIME_MERIDIAN_NAME>Paris</PRIME_MERIDIAN_NAME>

  <PRIME_MERIDIAN_OFFSET unit="GON">2.5969</PRIME_MERIDIAN_OFFSET>
</Prime_Meridian>
