projecting shape files, in R?
Hi Alessandra, As suggested by other persone before me, it is not easy to recognize the projection but it is possible. My suggestion in to use a GIS software (such as QGIS or ArcGIS) to interact with the shapefile, compareing your file with other known projection and, in the end, to save it (again) as a NEW file with the .prj In my experience, European data are usually projected in WGS84 reference system and coordinates are latitude and longitude. If you want I can try it for you if your data is not too big and it can be sent attached to an email. Bests, Maurizio
