/**
 * Mapping between geographic identifiers (addresses, grid indexes…) and locations (descriptions, coordinates…).
 * This package provides base classes implementing the <cite>Spatial referencing by geographic identifiers</cite>
 * (ISO 19112) standard. Those base classes are
 * {@link org.apache.sis.referencing.gazetteer.AbstractLocation},
 * {@link org.apache.sis.referencing.gazetteer.ModifiableLocationType} and
 * {@link org.apache.sis.referencing.gazetteer.ReferencingByIdentifiers}, completed by the
 * {@link org.apache.sis.referencing.gazetteer.LocationFormat} utility class.
 *
 * <p>This package provides also implementations on top of above base classes.
 * Some implementation classes are {@link org.apache.sis.referencing.gazetteer.MilitaryGridReferenceSystem}
 * (also for civilian use) and {@link org.apache.sis.referencing.gazetteer.GeohashReferenceSystem}.</p>
