 <div class="block">Returns a SIS metadata implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation.
  This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:

    <li>Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of

    <li>Otherwise a new <code>DefaultGeographicDescription</code> instance is created using the
