The European Spatial Reference and Map Projection Workshops The Spatial Reference Workshop 1999 and the Map Projection Workshop 2000 recommends to the European Commission: 1. To adopt ETRS89 as geodetic datum and to express and store positions, as far as possible, in ellipsoidal coordinates, with the underlying GRS80 ellipsoid [ETRS89]. Three map projections are required to supplement the ellipsoidal system. (Adopted for geo data of the Commission)
2. To adopt EVRF2000 for expressing practical heights (gravity-related). 3. To take strong action to support the work of EUREF, EuroGeographics and the NMAs in collecting and making available in a public domain the definitions of various coordinate reference systems(realized by CRS internet portal), and definitive transformation parameters between the national reference systems and ETRS89 (realized for 3 m accuracy level), as well as EVRF2000 (in preparation).
ISO 19111 (ISO/TC 211, WI 11) Spatial referencing by coordinates DIS November 2000, IS 2003 Scope WI 11 describes the conceptual schema and defines the description for a minimum data to two cases for which 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional coordinate reference system (CRS) information shall be given: • Case A: A coordinate reference system to which a set of coordinates is related. • Case B: An operation (transformation, conversion, concatenated operation) to change coordinate values from one coordinate reference system to another.

2. Realization of ETRS89 and its Practical Use Statement: ETRS89 is recognised by the scientific community as the European geodetic datum to be adopted. It is defined to 1cm accuracy, and it is consistent with the global ITRS. ETRS89 is available due to the EUREF permanent GPS station network EPN and the validated EUREF campaign observations. It is part of the legal framework of some EU member states.
Terrestrial Reference System (TRS) A TRS is mathematically defined as an Euclidian affine frame with an origin, scale and orientation in relation to the Earth body A TRS is realized by coordinates of physical points an or near the Earth surface
The International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) • The geodetic datum (origin, orientation, scale) of ITRS is defined by conventions (2002) of the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS of IAG) • ITRS is realized by a series of frames (ITRF last one is 2000) with coordinates and velocities of some hundred world wide geodetic stations (Service of IAG)
The European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (ETRS89) • The European Continental Plate is moving quite uniformly of some 3 cm per year, relatively to the ITRS. Excepted is of the south-eastern extreme of Europe (Greece, Turkey). • The IAG Sub-commission for Europe EUREF decided to define a System fixed to the European plate in order to have stable co-ordinates for Europe. • This System (datum) is named ETRS, or ETRS89, as was identical to the ITRS in the year 1989. • Since 1989, ETRS89 co-ordinates have shifted from their values expressed in ITRS. The shifts are monitored by IERS and EUREF. • This shift is well known, and transformations from one to the other are possible for most part in a 1 cm accuracy. The shift parameter are given with the ITRF solutions.
European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (ETRS89) is the geodetic datum for pan-European spatial data collection, storage and analysis. This is based on the GRS80 ellipsoid and is the basis for a coordinate reference system using ellipsoidal coordinates. The ETRS89 Ellipsoidal Coordinate Reference System (ETRS89) is recommended to express and to store positions, as far as possible.

3. Coordinate Systems and Map Projections A coordinate system is a set of mathematical rules for specifying how coordinates are to be related to points. Map projections are special coordinate systems. The rules defining the map projections are conversions between ellipsoidal coordinates and coordinates of the map projections.
The Map Projection Workshop 2000 recommends that the European Commission: • Uses for statistical analysis and display a ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area coordinate reference system of 2001 [ETRS -LAEA], that is specified by ETRS89 as datum and the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area map projection. • Uses for conformal pan-European mapping at scales smaller or equal to 1:500,000 ETRS89 Lambert Conic Conformal coordinate reference system of 2001 [ETRS -LCC] that is specified by ETRS89 as datum and the Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP) map projection. • Uses for conformal pan-European mapping at scales larger than 1:500,000 ETRS89 Transverse Mercator coordinate reference systems [ETRS-TMzn].
For pan-European statistical mapping at all scales or for other purposes where a true area representation is required, the ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area Coordinate Reference System (ETRS-LAEA) is recommended. The ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area Coordinate Reference System (ETRS-LAEA) is a single projected coordinate reference system for all of the pan-European area. It is based on the ETRS89 geodetic datum and the GRS80 ellipsoid.

4. Transformation of Grid Related Information Most of the transformation/conversion cases in geodesy and geoinformation are related to point information (easy case of a one to one relationship). In physical geodesy some processing procedures bases on mean values over near equal area grids/compartments (geoid determination by solution of a BVP with mean gravity anomalies and topographic heights)
