A Spatial Reference System Identifier (SRID) is a 4-5 digit number used to unambiguously identify any Coordinate Reference System (CRS) definition while also pointing at sets of up to 20 parameters describing each CRS. Being part of the Simple Features standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) SRIDs are used in most Geographic Information Systems. Use this tag for questions concerning the projection or transformation of geospatial data to a CRS.
