2007-08-27 Release of EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset v6.13 (July 16, 2007) This release (Version 6.13) of the EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset comprises of data corrections and updates to the v6.12 release of February 2007. The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset is maintained by the Geodesy Subcommittee of the Surveying and Positioning Committee of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (OGP). This version and prior archived versions may be downloaded without charge from www.epsg.org. The dataset will continue to be known as the EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset. As for previous releases, the v6.13 dataset is available in two forms: either an MS Access database which also includes a data reporting capability, or as a series of SQL scripts for populating an alternative relational database application. There are different SQL scripts for various SQL variants. In each format, the v6.13 release is accompanied by an updated version of the current ReadMe file, in both PDF and MS Word formats. New to Version 6.13 are:
In addition to the above data content changes, the “Use of the Data” rules have been clarified and expanded to facilitate increased use of the EPSG dataset in third party software. See the Readme file or associated online documentation for additional details. 2007-08-27 On July 26, 2007 the United States and European Union announce the final design for GPS L1C and Galileo L1F signal.

IHY stands for International Heliophysical Year. Heliophysical is a broadening of the concept "geophysical," extending the connections from the Earth to the Sun and interplanetary space. On the 50th anniversary of the International Geophysical Year, the 2007 IHY activities will build on the success of IGY 1957 by continuing its legacy of system-wide studies of the extended heliophysical domain.
