Also code that uses GeoTools do have a certificate - GeoServer passes certification tests. Note that OGC is has defined tests for servers, so it is really our only opportunity to certify. > 2- Do you decide to provide new versions of geotools so what are > properties of next versions? Community process decides, usually a new version is based on either a) a project wanting a stable release b) an RnD project finishing up and wanting to merge on to trunk. You can see both of these in action right now, GeoTools 2.2 will go out when uDig 1.1 is ready, and GeoTools 2.3 will go out when the GridCoverage RnD branch is finished merging to trunk. > 3- Do the geotools support the 3D model? You can have ordinates of as many dimensions as you can handle (temporal is popular), the topology classes we use right now are focused on 2d topology, but we are setting up a new set of topology implementations behind an GeoAPI interface if you care to pitch in.
I trust your questions was more concerned about display? As a library we help you hack data. Renderers exist to take your data and render it nicely, an OpenGL rendering is something that has been considered before (one of the Google Summer of Code proposals was in this direction). > 4- Can the geotools connect to SQLSERVER? I think so, but as it does not have spatial functions what is the point? I think you may be able to hold spatial data in there but without spatial indexing performance will always suck. Please correct me if I am wrong. If you want to use it right now you can use the "Geometryless" datastore, which will let you hold points in an x and y column. > 5- Can we get architectural document of geotools from you? The Developers Guide is a good place to start, it has the big picture of how the library is structured. For a "data" dictionary you will need to review the OGC specifications (writing less docs is the main reason for a developer to implement those specifications after all). I would love funding to work on such a document ;-) Seriously just review the developers guide section on architecture and ask questions on the devel list - you questions can help revise the document. Note Acust (and myself) are working on a user guide right now and more people around to help with QA the better. > so sorry > so thanks > best wishes > parastoo saadat > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Talk is cheap.
