[Geotools-devel] RE : Geotools GPS Features / Positioning

[Bryce L N. <bno...@fs...>]

Guillaume,

Any open source software is available for potential integration, and
therefore good for us.  I am forwarding your email to the geotools
developer list so that other interested parties can contact you directl=
y or
via the mailing list.

I had to lookup the abstract for ISO 8211, as it seems to be separate f=
rom
the 19100 series upon which GeoTools is based.  Could you comment on ho=
w
you're using this library?  One of my "unsolved problems" thus far is
figuring out a generic means of communicating a coverage description wh=
ich
can handle both traditional and "modern" (e.g. HDF, netCDF) data format=
s.
ISO 191xx is fairly specific about how  to handle spatial data formats,=
 but
isn't so good at describing general purpose data formats which have bee=
n
"borrowed" for spatial data storage.  Is this standard/library capable =
of
describing heirarichal / matrix file formats?

Abstract to ISO 8211, from ANSI's online store:
Cancels and replaces the first edition (1985). Specifies an interchange=

format to facilitate the moving of files or parts of files containing d=
ata
records between computer systems. Specifies: media-independent file and=

data record descriptions for information interchange; the description o=
f
data elements, vectors, arrays and hierarchies containing character
strings, bit strings and numeric forms; a data descriptive file; a data=

descriptive record; three levels of complexity of file and record
structure; FTAM unstructured and structured document types.

Thanks,
Bryce
