Andrew, I've postponed responding to this, thinking I could get things transferred to the GALEON OGC network site first. But I'm still not very facile with the process of embedding pointers into the web pages on that site that point directly to others, so it may be a while before that gets done. But I agree that's the place for the materials as soon as I get my act together. As to the non-spatial height parameter and ISO, I'm pretty sure this topic has come up fairly often within the OGC, so I'm hoping the OGC reps to ISO will be aware of the need. But is there a place where we can go to find out who represents each country on the relevant standards body so we can contact them specifically. -- Ben On 5/5/06, Woolf, A (Andrew) <A.Woolf@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi Ben, Just a few comments (and apologies for being unable to participate in the telcon). First, should these docs be moved onto the OGC Network? On the "WCS known issues" doc: * Regarding 'non-traditional views' (e.g. Hovmullers). Some rather minor modifications are needed to enable completely flexible slicing in WCS. e.g. removing the requirement that RESX & RESY (or WIDTH and HEIGHT) are mandatory, and unifying WMS, WCS approaches to the use of BBOX & ELEVATION. (The NERC GALEON 1 report has more detail.) * Regarding the non-spatial height parameter. There's a NWIP in with ISO TC211 right now to extend ISO 19111 to non-spatial vertical coords. I'd urge all interested parties to ensure their national standards body is aware of the importance of supporting this proposal. This WCS issue becomes a non-issue with the 19111 extension. Best regards, - Andrew
