/**
* Definition of a coordinate system axis. This is used to label axes, and indicate the orientation.
* See {@linkplain org.opengis.referencing.cs#AxisNames axis name constraints}.
* <p>
* In some case, the axis name is constrained by ISO 19111 depending on the
* {@linkplain org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem coordinate reference system}
* type. These constraints are identified in the javadoc by "<cite>ISO 19111 name is...</cite>"
* sentences. This constraint works in two directions; for example the names
* "<cite>geodetic latitude</cite>" and "<cite>geodetic longitude</cite>" shall be used to
* designate the coordinate axis names associated with a
* {@linkplain org.opengis.referencing.crs.GeographicCRS geographic coordinate reference system}.
* Conversely, these names shall not be used in any other context.
