The disclosure presents processes to select cartographic reference system (CRS) recommendations from a CRS model where the CRS recommendations are matched to received seismic data. A learning mode can be used to build the CRS model where seismic data is matched to CRS. The learning mode can be automated using natural language processing system to parse the meta data for the seismic data, such as the name, area, or code, or label. The CRS model can be updated using an output from a user system, such as when a user manually matches a CRS to seismic data. The matched seismic data to CRS, e.g., seismic data-CRS match, can be used as input to a user system or a computing system, such as a borehole operation system.
