Beginning with Version 5.3 and Version 6.1, all versions of the EPSG dataset will remain publicly available. These superseded databases may be downloaded below. They are distributed in MS Access 97 (as a zipped file, complete with its documentation), but can be converted to MS Access 2000 or MS Access 2003. From version 6.4 SQL scripts were also available. These versions of the dataset have all been superseded. The current version is downloadable from here.

The version 6.11 and 6.11.1 EPSG releases in August 2006 and October 2006 were superseded by v6.11.2. As there was minimal changes in the data content over these three versions and the period for which the earlier versions were available were short, the earlier 6.11.x datasets are not being made available for archival download. |

The version 6.10 and 6.10.1 EPSG releases in April 2006 and May 2006 were superseded by v6.10.2. There were no changes in the data content over these three versions, with the improvements made only to the SQL scripts. Since no data was added, the earlier 6.10.x datasets are not being made available for archival download. |

6.1 |
February 2002 |
Version 6.1 represented numerous modifications from the previous Version 5.x. The data model underwent a number of changes to ensure compliance with ISO 19111 Spatial Referencing by Coordinates. Table structure and relationships were affected. Many terms in use by ISO are not in common usage in the oil industry and the GIS community at large. |

5.3 |
February 2002 |
v5.3 data content is the same as v6.1. Two versions of the dataset were released in parallel to allow for migration between the v5 and v6 datamodels. An MS Excel spreadsheet detailing the details of the changes from the v5 to the v6 model is included within the v5.3 and v6.1 download files. Changes are too numerous to detail here, so users of the previous EPSGv5.x database who need this information are encouraged to review the spreadsheet and relationship diagrams for a better understanding. Links to the Relationship Diagrams for each of versions 5 and 6 are given to the right. |

Earlier versions of the dataset are no longer available.
As mentioned above, rather comprehensive changes in terminology, table structure and relationships to match ISO 19111 Spatial Referencing by Coordinates. Some key mappings are:
These are given only as examples and by no means cover all the changes. See the Version 5 to 6 spreadsheet and the data model Entity Relationship Diagrams for a fully detailed mapping of terminology.
