This would be a really huge task. The Mapserver software indeed
provides an interface to different "well-known" vector data sources but
the TerraGear work directories definitely don't count as such.
BTW, Mapserver is everything but a plug-and-play software. Even
interfacing to such a well-known data source can result in
time-consuming debug sessions, depending on what the source of your
data is ....

As we already discussed in the past, multiple anomalies stem from the
way how different land cover features are represented in the different
data sets. I have the hope that this Mapserver helps us to understand
how things really look like in the 'raw' data.

I'm happy you like it. I'll try to improve it as time permits,

        Martin.
