IMF Developer's Guide » Map Configuration » <WKT-SRS>  

The <WKT-SRS> element specifies a projection to be used for the map and reporting routines using the projection's well-known text string. In this element, the well known text string is XML content, not an attribute like the other IMF configuration items are defined. There is an attribute for the projection's alias, but the actual projection information for this element is put between opening and closing element tags, like:

<WKT-SRS srs="EPSG:2249" title="State Plane">
PROJCS["NAD_1983_StatePlane_Massachusetts_Mainland_FIPS_2001_Feet",
  GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",
    DATUM["D_North_American_1983",
    SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
    UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],
  PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic_2SP"],

</WKT-SRS>

A good source of well-known text projection strings can be found in the "Coordinate IDs and Descriptions" section of ESRI's ArcXML Programmer's Reference Guide.

Frequency Parent Elements (this element is valid within):
PO+ <SRS-LIST>
   

Attributes Description
srs The SRS code. For example, use "EPSG:32611" for UTM Zone 11 North. Required.
title The user name of the projection. Optional.
   

Frequency Description (in this context)
PO+ The <UTM-SRS> element is optional but may appear one or times within the <SRS-LIST> element.
   

Example:
