There has been a couple of interesting developments in the OGC space over the last couple of weeks.
1) First up the OGC has been seriously kicked around by the [email protected] email list, mostly over an area of shared passion (REST and GeoJson). 2) As a result it looks like Carl Reed from the OGC is communicating a bit more on the [email protected] email list, and came up with this a couple of days ago: - http://spatialnews.geocomm.com/dailynews/2012/oct/25/news3.html What this amounts to (in the words of Frank and Raj) is: SQLite/Spatialite/Rasterlite databases for vectors, tiles and raster with rasters formed up into a WMTS style image pyramid. Frankly that would rock out, and give us a more useful bundle then a directory of shape files / rasters to punt around. I am going to mention it in tonights GeoTools meeting, but this would be a really strong technical direction of great benefit to the uDig project. I am afraid I do not have any background details on who is funding (or participating in this work). -- Jody Garnett
