Deegree has something which purports to be a 19107 implementation. Is also
follows an interface/implementation design pattern. Unfortunately, at
first blush, the methods are not the same as my copy of 19107/Topic 1, and
GeoAPI is not referenced at all. Has anyone looked closer at this?
FYI, I'm looking at making a stand-alone "geometry" module (which
implements GeoAPI geometry classes) by adapting _something_. Current
alternatives are:
1] Adapt JTS because it has a well-documented lineage, and is active.
2] Adapt deegree because it says it's a 19107 implementation.
3] Fake something where most of the methods throw
UnsupportedOperationException.
Near term needs are quite constrained: GM_Object, GM_Point, and dependent
classes.
Any advice from people who have thought about this more than me?
JTS's disadvantage is that we've wanted a lighter geometry
implementation for awhile. Deegree I personally lean away from, since
we've tried really hard to cooperate with them in the past and have
gotten nowhere. Another option is gvSig - http://gvsig.org. I think
they may have some of the best geometry implementations, at least in
terms of speed. Deegree always suffered a bit in my mind since it was
hard to figure things out. The one problem with gvSig is they're very
hard core about GPL. But it'd be great if we could cooperate with them
more, and doing a GeoAPI geometry implementation backed by their
implementations could potentially be a great start...
