Hi David,
Am not aware of an s-57 support activities, but there is a reasonable
prospect that the community-schema support agenda slowly coming to the
mainstream will support the upcoming S-100 (a replacement for S-57) GML
encoding. If any communities are particularly interested in this it would be
good to have parallel testing, refinement activities alongside the effort to
generically support GML application schemas. Each application tends to
exercise different patterns, different data type bindings etc, so the more
the merrier.
On another note, you may well need he full ISO Feature support in Geotools
2.5 to implement s-57 faithfully - though you may simply extract a simple
features level 0 profile (think shapefile or old Geotools DataStore) from
the S-57 data model for certain operations and rendering.
Regards
Rob Atkinson
