The Working with Data section in the User Guide seems to be getting a bit
unwieldy. It might be nice to split it up in a way that highlights the
different kinds of data: Vector, Raster, Database, and External Services.
Here's a proposal for a new structure, which replaces the current section
with 4 new ones:
Working with Vector Data
Shapefile
Directory of spatial files
GML
VPF
Java Properties
Pregeneralized Features
Working with Raster Data
ArcGrid
GeoTIFF
GTOPO30
ImageMosaic
WorldImage
GDAL Image Formats
ImagePyramid
Image Mosaic JDBC
Oracle Georaster
Custom JDBC Access for image data
Working with Databases
PostGIS
Oracle
Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Azure
DB2
H2
MySQL
Teradata
ArcSDE
Database Connection Pooling
SQL Views
Controlling feature ID generation in spatial databases
Custom SQL session start/stop scripts
Using SQL session scripts to control authorizations at the database level
Application Schema Support
JNDI
Working with External Data
External Web Feature Server
External Web Map Server
The only new content would be the index page for each new section. This
will be a convenient place to put any general advice about working with the
different kinds of formats (eg. links to the Styling pages for each type)
Alternatively, these could be 4 subsections under the main Working With
Data section, although this would require more levels on the main TOC.
It might make sense for the source directory structure to mirror this
organization, but this is not essential if there are issues with doing that
(e.g existing URL references)
Thoughts or issues with doing this?
