Landon, Just had another thought . . . What about setting up a (openSource) tool set specifically for handling Raster images for pre-processing purposes. Might even be something that publishers could re-distribute with their datasets, as in this processor stack works with our data. Just

Markus, What's the standard (OGC?) part of this, just the calling structure, and consequent responses? It looks like anything can be on the backenda s the processor, and the only enforcements are in the calling and results for the getcapabilities, maybe in the service(s) requests as well . .

So hung up on wavelets, we are. Internally tiled TIFF with JPEG compression and similarly formatted internal overviews can achieve 10:1 compression rates without noticeable image quality reductions, and as an added bonus can be decompressed a heck of a lot faster than wavelet-based formats. The
