@Thorsten: The video you mention shows no website nor contact about the "Marble" project. Could you share more details here? Is it "KDE Marble" [0]? @All: Regarding the question about the response format to choose for a vector tiling server: * Choosing XML for this does not make sense to me, since human readability has low priority. There exists the WFS standard from OGC which covers this. The use case here demands performance so we should think about a compact slim format like GeoJSON - or even more compressed. * Problem: Since we are speaking about "vector tiling" it's unavoidable that polygons are clipped, which makes me wonder on how the client is informed and how he should deal with this? @Michael: * In the website you refer to [1] there's mentioned "Similar to kothic js tile format": Why only "similar"? Why don't you not base/fork on Kothic/KothicJS? * I'm little bit confused about the project documentation of your "GSoC - Data Tile Service" since on "GSoc Project Ideas" [2] your name still is related to the project "Update Monitoring API". And in "AcceptedProjects" [3] it does not appear. These wiki pages perhaps need some care.
