Holy crap! Did you realize that using IE on Windows to click on an openoffice document on a website opens the document up inside IE, like a proper helper should? Shocked the crap out of me just now! Warning, early feedback suggests that this document is dense. Meaning (I hope) that it packs a lot of information into a small space. Just consider that writing it is the result of two weeks of staring at ISO19123, scratching my head and wondering what it means. Reading it shouldn't take two weeks, but I doubt that it can reduce two weeks down to a 15 minute coffee break. And this is _assuming_ that I'm not coming from so far in left field that I could be considered to be leading a bunch of lemmings off a cliff. :) Release Notes -- Changes from Draft1 : ==================================== * Revisions of things I found to be dumb, obvious, or inaccurate. * Bug fixes in my spelling (too many things trigger the spell checker). * Fixed the figures. * Added a Comment from Martin concerning efficient data access. * Added a proposal to specialize CV_GridValuesMatrix for the case when all attributes of the range's Record are the same numeric type (e.g., Images). The development of this proposed extension borrows from the design of java.awt.Raster/DataBuffer/SampleModel and the Multiarray2 library (JSR-83 -- Withdrawn). * Added a section on the treatment of the Record and RecordType objects (e.g., Range objects for every coverage). Proposed a schema for consideration in GeoAPI. * Added a review of Stefane Fellah's coverage proposal in GeoAPI's pending directory. JIRA Issues resulting from this Document: ==================================== http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEO-71 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEO-72 Future work: ============ Jody has requested that I review the new Complex feature type stuff w.r.t. the notion of an ISO19103 Record/RecordType as well as an ISO19109 Feature (which is a MetaClass/Class relationship and hurts my head.) If this yields any fruit, it will probably modify or delete the relevant sections. Bryce ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
