public interface CS_CompoundCoordinateSystem
extends CS_CoordinateSystem

An aggregate of two coordinate systems (CRS). One of these is usually a CRS based on a two dimensional coordinate system such as a geographic or a projected coordinate system with a horizontal datum. The other is a vertical CRS which is a one-dimensional coordinate system with a vertical datum.
