public class GeocentricCoordinateReferenceSystem
extends CoordinateReferenceSystem

A geo-centric CoordinateReferenceSystem.

A geo-centric coordinate system is defined as "a 3D coordinate system, with its origin at the centre of the Earth. The X axis points towards the prime meridian. The Y axis points East or West. The Z axis points North or South. By default the Z axis will point North, and the Y axis will point East (e.g. a right handed system), but you should check the axes for non-default values" (see [CTS-1.00], p. 62.).
