erroneous datum names for VERTCS EPSG:5783 and EPSG:5784

Description

The datum names in EPSG for VERTCS 5783 and 5784 are "Deutsches Haupthoehennetz 1992" and "Deutsches Haupthoehennetz 1985" resp.

File vertcs.csv erroneously contains "Deutches Haupthohennetz 1992" and "Deutches Haupthohennetz 1985" (2 typos each). However, datum.csv contains the proper names.

I cannot see where this error and inconsistency comes from, the epsg .sql files contain the proper names.

This leads to GDAL/OGR 1.9.0 reporting erroneous datum names, as seen with 'gdalsrsinfo EPSG:5783':

VERT_CS["DHHN92 height",
    VERT_DATUM["Deutches Haupthohennetz 1992",2005,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","5181"]],
    AXIS["Up",UP],
    UNIT["metre",1,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","5783"]]

Adding the following line to vertcs.override.csv corrects the problem:

#
# fix inconsistent names
#
#5783,DHHN92 height,5181,Deutches Haupthohennetz 1992,9001,1,0,6499,,
#5784,DHHN85 height,5182,Deutches Haupthohennetz 1985,9001,1,0,6499,,
5783,DHHN92 height,5181,Deutsches Haupthoehennetz 1992,9001,1,0,6499,,
5784,DHHN85 height,5182,Deutsches Haupthoehennetz 1985,9001,1,0,6499,,

Just noticed that the names were corrected in in file datum.csv (r2100), but r2106 added vertcs.csv with old names.

bump. I don't see where the misspelling is coming from either.

Resolution: fixed

I think these are now fixed in the EPSG database and are coming through correctly. As of r2510 they appear ok.
