Description
For example, do IAU codes come from the EPSG database or a different source? The source we're using is the Proj database, but that's an intermediate source of this data. Perhaps Proj DB contains provenance information we can use to point to the ultimate source.
Let's ensure we're:
- Displaying the correct source
- Linking to it if possible
