In the
Unidata 2008 proposal, IDV development will continue under
the proposed Endeavor 4 "Software to Analyze and Visualize Geoscience
Data". Under this endeavor, the following goals are outlined:
- Supporting analysis and visualization of local modeling efforts
(e.g., WRF and MM5 output)
- Incorporating new datasets and data types
- Exploring new approaches to visualizing and interacting with Earth
system data, focusing on novel 3-D techniques that fuse data from
multiple sources
- Expanding IDV capabilities to support the creation of exploration
based, interactive, pedagogic materials and integration with digital
libraries.
- Developing collaborative tools to make effective use of shared
visualizations
- Developing a framework that allows end-user assembly and
integration of IDV components
- Adapting to GIS frameworks (OpenGIS and ISO standards),
content-based data mining, and other evolving technologies
The goals of the IDV Steering Committee are:
- Prioritize the development efforts based
on the perceived needs of the Unidata community and other interested
parties and input from the IDV developers on feasibility and cost.
- Considers and recommends large focused development efforts in
the range of 3-6 months. These would include:
- types of data to support
- new types of displays to implement
- new means of use (publishing, collaboration)
- organizational collaborations
- educational content
- Test implementations and provide feedback. Releases to the
committee will occur on a 1-2 month time frame.
