+1 to:
* NetCDF CF-1.5 to ISO 19115 bindings
- happy to help here, what do you think is the starting point?
Actually this is already implemented [1], so we just need to port that
package. One thing very welcome would be more tests...
- should we connect to the NetCDF-Java library here? If so, I
can help
This is already done actually. We may send a notice later saying that
this package moved to SIS...
* Storage in a simple (the most possible straightforward) database
- how about storing it in Apache OODT? http://oodt.apache.org/
That way we could be independent of actual database, and could
leverage Apache Tika perhaps in there.
I was not aware of this project... The description on the web page seems
very attractive, and I would like very much some connector to it.
I'm thinking more about a bridge in an optional module ("sis-oddt"?)
than a dependency straight in the SIS core, since I would like to keep
the amount of required dependencies low. I have the same wish for
NetCDF: provide anything related to NetCDF in a separated optional
module, e.g. "sis-netcdf".
On the database topic, we also have an implementation for that. It is
only 5 classes (only 2 public, a reader and a writer) [2], because most
of the work is performed by more generic code. The idea was to have a
straightforward "one interface = one table" and "one property = one
column" relationship, use ISO names (not necessarily the same than
JavaBean names), automatically add comments in the database based on the
GeoAPI resource files, have the usual special handling for code list,
and I think that we will also need special handling for leveraging
PostGIS or Oracle Spatial features anyway...
Anyway, we don't need to take any decision now. I just wanted to let
peoples know what is available. We can try to finish the core metadata
first, and come back on those two topics after?
