I simply don't see many people working with GML-based inputs,
GML is a transport format, not really suitable for
high performance usage, but very good as an intermediary between
two systems.
Besides the approach I've described another option would be to investigate
XML based databases, see if there is any that also has spatial indexes.
I guess most of the people roll their own ETL routines to ingest GML
into some format suitable for high performance consumption (so yeah,
everybody reinventing the wheel according to their specific needs).
Would be happy to hear other people experience with the problem,
maybe all togheter there is enough interest to gather funding/resources
and build a new data store that addresses it?
Cheers
Andrea
