Base interface for all authority factories. An authority is an organization that maintains definitions of authority codes. An authority code is a compact string defined by an authority to reference a particular spatial reference object. For example the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) maintains a database of coordinate systems, and other spatial referencing objects, where each object has a code number ID. For example, the EPSG code for a WGS84 Lat/Lon coordinate system is '4326'.
