Thank you all for your replies. Matthias, the "project generator" seems very interesting, I would like to know more about it. Don't take me wrong Hugo, when I say "small" I didn't want to diminish your work, surely developing those schema construction features is not an easy task. As I think

Hi Régis. I want to make clear that my concern is the world of complex features and not GML by itself. I fully agree with you that complex features are best handled in a relational database. Don't you think that something is missing in our graphical user interfaces to help data

Hi Rui, Co-author of the mentioned "GML application schema toolbox" plugin here :) The people who first launched this plugin have similar goals I think (I added Sylvain from BRGM in cc). Even if this is still small (we are at a second iteration where the first was a proof of concept), some

I haven't been working a lot with Inspire but we recently started to work more and more with Interlis, which is a Swiss standard but should be quite similar. After all it's an object oriented modelling language, also with a UML designer. The workflow in general is: - Take a model (interlis) -

Thanks for your response Régis. Yes, I read the documentation for that project. I think that's a good, but small, starting point. Anyway the docs mention that "the aim is to develop tools to manipulate Complex Features streams in a GIS desktop application.". So they might be seeking for something

Hi Rui, did you have a look at this project ? https://github.com/BRGM/gml_application_schema_toolbox I think you purchase the very same goal, a common approach seems a good idea ! Regards, Régis 2018-01-09 1:17 GMT+01:00 Rui Cavaco : > Hello list. > > My name is Rui Cavaco,

Hello list. My name is Rui Cavaco, a supporter for OSGeo Portugal, and I see the need for some future major changes in desktop GIS user interfaces in order to facilitate complex features editing and querying. GML and INSPIRE are about complex features but so are fiber optic networks. Complex
