Hi Frank,

 
 I would also like to bring to your attention the MetaCRS project, an
 effort to confederate some other existing coordinate system related 
projects
 (particularly Proj4JS, CS-MAP and PROJ.4) and to work towards some 
shared
 test data and coordinate system dictionaries.
 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MetaCRS
 

Its good to see another project listed.

I hadn't see this project referenced before on the OSGeo Web site at:

- http://www.osgeo.org/

- http://www.osgeo.org/content/faq/foundation_faq.html

- http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/index.html



I'm probably missing the obvious, but do we have a full listing of OSGeo 
projects that are in incubation or have graduated?

I agree that a couple (?) of projects aren't listed. I have added new new

Frans,

 

Perhaps I can help you understand.

 

As far as I know the only two official OSGeo projects for the Java
programming language are gvSIG and GeoTools. OpenJUMP isn't an official
OSGeo project, but I hope that it is one day. :] Even though it isn't
yet a project I try to stay active in the OSGeo as an organization, and
I have a small role in the programming of OpenJUMP.

Bruce,

The MetaCRS effort is not an official project of the foundation at this time.
It is an attempt to confederate a few items and then bring it to the foundation
for incubation.  So, for now it is still essentially unofficial.

I don't think most of us will have a problem with the library being hosted by 
GeoTools. It seems like the logical choice. I can visit with Jody about this 
some more of things materialize.
  
I just have some advocacy work to do, right now GeoTools is often viewed 
as an all or nothing affair. In actual fact it is arranged into a series 
of layers (much like the proj, geos, gdal stack).  Some of the geotools 
layers are handled as separate projects (like JTS)  others the 
individual geotools modules ... you only need to include as many of 
these modules as you are planning to use.


What I would like to do is make a few additional GeoTools downloads 
available for specific purposes; that is probably a good idea regardless 
of how this discussion plays out.


Cheers,
Jody

I have a stack diagram for the GeoTools project here; each box 
represents a GeoTools module (a seperate jar much like commons has 
commons-logging, commons-collection, etc...).

- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/02+Meet+the+GeoTools+Library

The page has a diagram showing the layers that make up the GeoTools stack:
- GeoAPI (separate project) - the formal interfaces defining the 
standards based data structures we are working with

- gt-api - formal public API
- gt-metadata - implementation of ISO 19115 constructs (used as part of 
referencing)
- gt-referencing - projection support, different plug-ins provide 
support for more crs authorities (like EPSG)
- JTS (seperate project) - adds geometry support (gt-referencing + JTS 
is what you need to make a spatial application the rest is gravy)
- gt-api - formal interfaces defining the non-standards based data 
structures and factories we are working with
- gt-coverage - raster support, different plug-ins provide support for 
more formats

- gt-main - implementation of a lot of geoapi and gt-api
- gt-data - implementation of vector data access, different plug-ins 
provide support for more formats
- gt-jdbc - implementation of jdbc vector data access, different plug-in 
provide support for more formats

- gt-xml - parsing support for several ogc specifications
- gt-cql - implementation of a common query language parser from the ogc 
catalog spec
- gt-render - implementation of a renderer based on the ogc sld 
specification


Beyond that (for an architecture diagram showing how the projects fit 
together) you may want to look at GeoServer (implementation of many ogc 
web services), GeoNetwork (implementation of ogc catalog service) and a 
range of desktop clients from gvSig and OpenJump to uDig.

Jody

[OSGeo-Discuss] Java Collaboration...Again

2008-05-02 Thread Landon Blake
The Java collaboration has reared its ugly head again...

 

Some programmers from GeoTools, OpenJUMP, degree, and Open Plans are
talking about the possibility (probably remote) of a shared library for
SRS or CRS definitions and transformations. The idea wouldn't be to
scrap existing libraries found in GeoTools and deegree, or in other
projects, but to come up with a plan for eventually merging parts of
these libraries into a single low-level library that could be shared
among all.

 

I'm going to make a modest effort to keep everyone talking and to move
this forward. I posted a link on the Java GIS Collaboration page of the
OSGeo wiki to this page for discussion of the library:

 

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Shared_CRS_and_CRS_Transformation_Library

 

I thought I would post here so no Java GIS programmers are left out of
the discussion if they want to participate.

Landon,

I'm sure there will be some challenges in this effort. :-)

I would also like to bring to your attention the MetaCRS project, an
effort to confederate some other existing coordinate system related projects
(particularly Proj4JS, CS-MAP and PROJ.4) and to work towards some shared
test data and coordinate system dictionaries.

  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MetaCRS

I would love to see a few Java folks join the mailing list.  If nothing
else, I would love to see some cooperation on shared test datasets, and
coordinate system dictionaries with the Java world.  If the Java folks
don't feel that a shared CRS component belong properly in GeoTools, or
one of the other cooperating projects, then it could also in theory
be handled as part of MetaCRS, though I'm not pushing this idea too hard.
