Version 6.7 of the EPSG geodetic parameter dataset has been released and may be downloaded without charge from www.epsg.org. This release contains a number of corrections to data in the previous v6.6 (October 2004) release together with additional geodetic data for Antarctica, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Finland, Libya, Netherlands, Nigeria, Philippines, Syria and the UK Channel Islands. Additional cross references to data obtained from EuroGeographics and the US NGA Technical Report 8350.2 have also been included. As in previous releases the v6.7 dataset is available in two forms: an MS Access database which also includes a data reporting capability, and as SQL scripts for populating an alternative relational database application. The v6.7 release is accompanied by updated versions of Guidance Notes 7 part 1 and 7 part 2.
Please note that since the previous dataset release, the European Petroleum Survey Group has reformed as the Surveying and Positiong Committee of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (OGP). The EPSG Geodesy Working Group has reformed as the Geodesy Subcommittee of the OGP Surveying and Positioning Committee. This Geodesy Subcommittee continues with the same members as the previous EPSG Geodesy Working Group. This OGP Geodesy Subcommittee will continue to maintain the dataset. The dataset will continue to be known as the EPSG (geodetic parameter) dataset.
