With the CoordinateSystemExtractor, only a description of the coordinatesystem is given. It would be great to have the EPSG code as well.

For example:
_coordsys : _Netherlands-RDNew-2008_0
_epsg: 28992

So I can use the 28992 code to extract more details from this coordinatesystem by building this URL, for example: https://epsg.io/28992.gml

It would be convenient in some scenarios.

As a workaround in the interim, you can use the CoordinateSystemDescriptionConverter to convert FME coordinate system name to corresponding EPSG code.

Yes, that's a workaround ;-)

 

As most of FME: there are a "thousand roads leading to Rome" and that's why it's so beautiful!
