/** Factory for predefined reference frames.
 *
 * <h1> FramesFactory Presentation </h1>
 * <p>
 * Several predefined reference {@link Frame frames} are implemented in OREKIT.
 * They are linked together in a tree with the <i>Geocentric
 * Celestial Reference Frame</i> (GCRF) as the root of the tree.
 * This factory is designed to:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 *   <li>build the frames tree consistently,</li>
 *   <li>avoid rebuilding some frames that may be costly to recreate all the time,</li>
 *   <li>set up interpolation/caching features for some frames that may induce costly computation</li>
 *   <li>streamline the {@link EOPHistory Earth Orientation Parameters} history loading.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h2> Reference Frames </h2>
 * <p>
 * The user can retrieve those reference frames using various static methods, the most
 * important ones being: {@link #getFrame(Predefined)}, {@link #getGCRF()},
 * {@link #getCIRF(IERSConventions, boolean)} {@link #getTIRF(IERSConventions, boolean)},
 * {@link #getITRF(IERSConventions, boolean)}, {@link #getEME2000()},
 * {@link #getMOD(IERSConventions)}, {@link #getTOD(IERSConventions, boolean)},
 * {@link #getGTOD(IERSConventions, boolean)}, {@link #getITRFEquinox(IERSConventions, boolean)},
 * {@link #getTEME()} and {@link #getVeis1950()}.
 * </p>
 * <h2> International Terrestrial Reference Frame</h2>
 * <p>
 * This frame is the current (as of 2013) reference realization of
 * the International Terrestrial Reference System produced by IERS.
 * It is described in <a href="ftp://tai.bipm.org/iers/conv2010/tn36.pdf">
 * IERS conventions (2010)</a>. It replaces the Earth Centered Earth Fixed
 * frame which is the reference frame for GPS satellites.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This frame is used to define position on solid Earth. It rotates with
 * the Earth and includes the pole motion with respect to Earth crust as
 * provided by {@link org.orekit.data.DataProvidersManager IERS data}.
 * Its pole axis is the IERS Reference Pole (IRP).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Previous realizations of the ITRS are available and linked together using
 * {@link HelmertTransformation Helmert transformations}. Parameters for all
 * ITRS realizations since 1988 are available from the ITRF site <a
 * href="ftp://itrf.ensg.ign.fr/pub/itrf/ITRF.TP"> ftp://itrf.ensg.ign.fr/pub/itrf/ITRF.TP</a>).
 * Orekit provides a {@link HelmertTransformation.Predefined#createTransformedITRF(Frame,
 * String) utility} method to build simply several of them and link them together.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * ITRF can be built using the new non-rotating origin paradigm
 * mandated by IAU 2000 resolution B1.8 and any supported {@link IERSConventions
 * IERS conventions} (even IERS 1996 can be used with non-rotating origin paradigm,
 * despite the resolution was not yet adopted at conventions publication time.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * ITRF can also be built using the classical equinox paradigm used prior to IAU 2000
 * resolution B1.8 and any supported {@link IERSConventions IERS conventions} (even
 * IERS 2003 and 2010 can be used with equinox paradigm, despite the resolution is
 * in effect now). The choice of paradigm (non-rotating origin or equinox) and the
 * choice of IERS conventions (i.e. the choice of precession/nutation models) can
 * be made independently by user, Orekit provides all alternatives.
 * </p>
 * <h2>Intermediate frames</h2>
 * <p>
 * Orekit also provides all the intermediate frames that are needed to transform
 * between GCRF and ITRF, along the two paths: ITRF/TIRF/CIRF/GCRF for the
 * non-rotating origin paradigm and ITRF/GTOD/TOD/MOD/EME2000/GCRF for the equinox
 * paradigm.
 * </p>
 * <h2> Earth Orientation Parameters </h2>
 * <p>
 * This factory also handles loading of Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) needed
 * for accurate transformations between inertial and Earth fixed frames, using
 * {@link org.orekit.data.DataProvidersManager} features. EOP are IERS conventions
 * dependent, because they correspond to correction to the precession/nutation
 * models. When EOP should be applied, but EOP data are not available, then a null
 * (0.0) correction is used. This can occur when no EOP data is loaded, or when the
 * requested date is beyond the time span of the loaded EOP data. Using a null
 * correction can result in coarse accuracy. To check the time span covered by EOP data use
 * {@link #getEOPHistory(IERSConventions, boolean)}, {@link EOPHistory#getStartDate()},
 * and {@link EOPHistory#getEndDate()}.
 * <p>
 * For more on configuring the EOP data Orekit uses see
 * <a href="https://www.orekit.org/forge/projects/orekit/wiki/Configuration">
 * https://www.orekit.org/forge/projects/orekit/wiki/Configuration</a>.
