Just a quick update on my own thoughts (awful): There is a note in the OGR SQlite driver page which states that the SpatiaLite extenstion to SQLite databases will be fully supported by the time GDAL 1.7.0 gets released: http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html So I guess here we have a good

Sorry for this question almost coming out from nowhere, but is this SpatiaLite extension treating geometric data topologically ? or is it conform to OGC simple feature definitions ? If so, it's quite a negative point for a universal data exchange model and for information preservation, isn't it ?

Hi Vincent, actually, SpatiaLite seems to use its own (apparently strictly 2D) geometry representations in the SQLite DB. I could not find any hint in the documentation that topology is imposed on the data: http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/spatialite-manual-2.3.0.html

Ben, What's wrong with OGC simple feature definitions? Too simple for your purposes? Well, briefly analysing this point, I would say storing data in a non topological way may not be a problem, as far as Grass handles the format and finally, per se, can deal with spatial relationships between
