-----------------------------------------

Feedback from a member of EPSG group:

{quote}
IOGP rebranded itself in November last year. The name _=E2=80=9CInternation=
al Association of Oil and Gas Producers=E2=80=9D_ is unchanged, but the abb=
reviation has been updated and now is =E2=80=9CIOGP=E2=80=9D. From the v8.6=
.4 of 1st March 2015 release, all new or updated records in the EPSG Datase=
t will carry this as the codespace, but any unchanged records from before t=
his date will retain their previous codespace =E2=80=9COGP=E2=80=9D. So bot=
h will be in use in the GML codespace. The =E2=80=9Cauthority=E2=80=9D in U=
RN strings remains only =E2=80=9CEPSG=E2=80=9D. The data source may now be =
any of =E2=80=9CEPSG=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9COGP=E2=80=9D or =E2=80=9CIOGP=E2=80=
=9D depending on date of record creation. The name of the dataset remains =
=E2=80=9CEPSG=E2=80=9D and since the company rebranding is referred to as _=
=E2=80=9CIOGP=E2=80=99s EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset=E2=80=9D_.

> The OGP organization, which is the maintainer of EPSG database, is now kn=
own as IOGP (International Association of Oil & Gas Producers). We should r=
ename at least in the source code.
> We need to deprecate the {{Citations.OGP}} constant. But maybe we should =
not provide a {{Citations.IOGP}} replacement, since experience suggests tha=
t there is confusion about whether we need to use {{Citations.OGP}} or {{Ci=
tations.EPSG}} in source code. Since Apache SIS refers to IOGP only in the =
context of EPSG database, we should probably not provide any replacement, a=
nd keep only the current {{Citations.EPSG}} constant. This would remove a s=
ource of confusion.
> Whether we should also rename "OGP" to "IOGP" in XML documents is still a=
n open question. The http://epsg-registry.org site is still reporting "OGP"=
 in their GML exports.
