 I've been working on GeoTools support for the GPX format. Part of the GPX
 format allows a user/program to specify a Symbol as a string/text value.



 We've been having a discussion on the GPX mailing list about a standard
 mapping of symbol names to symbol graphics, either in Raster or Vector (SVG)
 format. The basic idea is to allow a program like OpenJUMP to import a GPX
 file and then display the appropriate symbol at the waypoint location based
 on the information in the GPX file.



 There is at least one person on the GPX mailing list that would be
 interested in putting together such a cartographic symbol library.



 Does something like this already exist? Is it something the OSGeo would be
 interested in? I was thinking we might put something together and release it
 under a creative commons licenseā€¦
