I am in the process of developing a tool to check for metadata compliance and one of the required elements is 'reference system' (found under Spatial Reference in ArcCatalog).
I am finding that some shapefiles do not have reference system values (Dimension and code). I was under the impression that the reference system is autogenerated. If this section is empty, what advice or reference can I give the user to help them in filling out this section?
Also, any 'plain language' information about the dimension and code fields would be helpful.
