Hi Ben,

When I asked, there was some interesting info that came out (see http://technology.slashgeo.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/25/1931255 ) but no standard could be found. Maybe you could tell the OGC about your ITF initiative? (yeah, I know OGC standards are not en vogue recently ;-)

Good luck,

Alex

Wanted to say that there is indeed a file format for TINs, VTP ITF, which is
simple, efficient, geospatially aware, and documented.  User in the VTP
community have been using it for years.  It's a 'standard' insofar as more
software should decide to adopt it.

Alex,

I don't know slashgeo very well, but I couldn't find your post. I'd be interested in discussing TIN formats. I use them quite frequently in my day job as a land surveyor, but always in commercial software.

I'd like to explore TIN support in open source software in the future and would also be interested in a "standard" TIN format.

The OGC may have something for this in there GML Coverages spec.

Subject: [Geowanking] TIN formats?

Hi list,

I just started a thread on TIN formats on Slashgeo. Some might want to add information?

http://technology.slashgeo.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/25/1931255

On the post, I share what I found with a quick search (not that much). In short, I'm trying to learn if there are standard formats for TINs.

Cheers,

Alex :-)
