		<documentation>How to encode coordinate operation definitions. Builds on referenceSystems.xsd to encode the data needed to define coordinate operations, including Transformations, Conversions, and other specific subtypes of operations. 
		
		This schema encodes the Coordinate Operation (CC_) package of the extended UML Model for OGC Abstract Specification Topic 2: Spatial Referencing by Coordinates. That UML model is adapted from ISO 19111 - Spatial referencing by coordinates, as described in Annex C of Topic 2. 
		Caution: The CRS package in GML 3.1 and GML 3.1.1 is preliminary, and is expected to undergo some modifications that are not backward compatible during the development of GML 3.2 (ISO 19136). The GML 3.2 package will implement the model described in the revised version of ISO 19111.
		
		GML is an OGC Standard.
