public class PrimeMeridian
extends CrsIdentifiable

A prime meridian.

A prime meridian is defined by [CTS-1.00] as follows: "[The prime meridian] defines the meridian used to take longitude measurements from. The units of the longitude must be inferred from the context. If [this object] occurs inside a [geographic coordinate reference system], then the longitude units will match those of the geographic coordinate system. If [it] occurs inside a [geo-centric coordinate reference system], then the units will be in degrees. The longitude value defines the angle of the prime meridian relative to the Greenwich Meridian. A positive value indicates the prime meridian is East of Greenwich, and a negative value indicates the prime meridian is West of Greenwich
