Hello all
I finished to integrate all patches for upgrading ISO 19115-1:2003 to
2014. The remaining work is:
* *Short term:*
o Make a last review on all org.apache.sis.metadata.iso classes
(we missed some updates).
o Add some more tests.
o Update package documentation.
o Merge to trunk (see below).
* *Medium term:*
o Update GeoAPI specification.
o Submit updated GeoAPI interfaces and specification to OGC.
* *Long term:*
o When ISO 19115-3 will be out, update JAXB annotations for the
new XML schema.
Since ISO standards are updated once every 10 years (approximatively),
we will hopefully be okay with org.apache.sis.metadata.iso until 2025.
The merge with the trunk will be a bit tricky, because Apache SIS trunk
implements GeoAPI 3.0.0 interfaces rather than the development branch,
and GeoAPI 3.0.0 does not include the new ISO 19115-1:2014 interfaces.
What I'm considering to do is to reference the Apache SIS class directly
when there is no GeoAPI 3.0.0 interface, and put a warning in the
javadoc. For example in implementation of CoverageDescription:
/**
* Information on attribute groups of the resource.
*
* WARNING: This methods returns instances of Apache SIS implementation
class DefaultAttributeGroup
* because there is no AttributeGroup interface in GeoAPI 3.0. The return
type may be changed to
* Collection<AttributeGroup> in a future Apache SIS release after next OGC
release of GeoAPI.
*/
Collection<DefaultAttributeGroup> getAttributeGroups() {
return ...;
}
Any though?
Martin
