Hello all

With Johann working on the GPX format, a question is which (if any)
naming convention to use for storage modules (i.e. modules that read and
write some file formats). Currently there is none; the only stores are:

Names alternative 1:
  * sis-netcdf
  * sis-shapefile

We could prefix with "sis-store-" like below:

Names alternative 2:
  * sis-store-netcdf
  * sis-store-shapefile

We could also be more specific by separating the store in 3 categories:
those reading features ("sis-feature-"), those reading coverages
("sis-coverage-"), and those that get the data from a distant machine
through web services ("sis-client-"):

Names alternative 3:
  * sis-coverage-netcdf
  * sis-feature-shapefile

However one issue with alternative 3 is that some formats does not fit
entirely in any category. For example NetCDF can be used for both
coverages and features.

Alternatives 2 and 3 would impacts users of those modules since they
would need to change their dependency in the pom.xml file.

Does anyone has a preference for the module naming convention? (for now
my own personal preference would be alternative 2, but I'm not sure)
