View source for Projection Names

This project aims to develop standards in naming map projections. We will attempt to survey all projections described in the literature or used in published references. All known names of all projections will appear in the table on this page. Synonymous names all link to the same page, which lists the recommended name as the title.

I (DaanStrebe) propose the following principles for naming projections. The highest applicable principle should determine the projection's recommended name.

* '''{{PRINCIPLEPRECEDENCE}}:''' {{Principle of precedence}}
** Example: Bonne.
* '''{{PRINCIPLEORIGINATOR}}:''' {{Principle of originator}}
** Example: Tri-optimal. (No overwhelming precedence. Projection's originator proposed the name.)
* '''{{PRINCIPLEFORMULATOR}}:''' {{Principle of formulator}}
** Example: Kitada. (No overwhelming precedence; originator uknown.)
* '''{{PRINCIPLEPROMOTER}}:''' {{Principle of promoter}}
** Example: None known whose originator or principal describer is not known.
* '''{{PRINCIPLEPROPERTIES}}:''' {{Principle of properties}}
** Example: sinusoidal. (Originator and formulator unknown; several common names; no single promoter.)

I (DaanStrebe) also propose that proper names in projections be capitalized but other components not. Hence, ''plate carrée'', not ''Plate Carrée''; and ''Lambert conformal conic'', not ''Lambert Conformal Conic''.

To be resolved: The Peters case.
