Hi Peter,
I've looked at radaman, it is very much in a similar direction, but adds
another tool to the mix, which I'm seeking to avoid if possible.
We work with small Pacific Is nations, often with very little technical
expertise, using TIDEDA, & if a GDAL/mapserver combination is feasible, it
makes a very tidy fit with existing systems, & minimises extra complexity.
We are also using Geonetwork as a catalogue, & the mapserver WFS/SOS/WCS
facility is a nice fit with this as a service catalogue as well.
Thanks,
Brent Wood

Hi Brent,
seems like a great move! I am responding to your question of a 1D
WCS client.
Our project is rasdaman [1], an nD array DBMS which offers, among
others, a WCS interface. As partners & users wanted to have
(individual!) clients we have started the "rasdaman web client
toolkit", raswct [2]. It supports 1D timeseries display as one
option, obtained through a WCS or WCPS request. Input widgets
allow to set parameters through gauges, sliders, etc. - you may or
may not find it useful. Feedback greatly appreciated!
best,
Peter

Hi,
I'm exploring the possibility of a GDAL driver for TIDEDA
datasets. For a description of TIDEDA, see:
http://www.niwa.co.nz/software/tideda-time-dependent-data
Briefly, it is a tool for managing timeseries data from
sources like climate & hydrometric stations. NIWA is
considering Open Sourcing the tool, and enabling
interoperability with other Open Source tools &
supporting data delivery via web services (ie: via GDAL
& mapserver) seems like a very useful step (whether or
not we do open up the codebase - it will be useful to the
users).
The preferred (& obvious) web services to use are
OGC:SOS & OGC:WCS (WCS as a 1D time series). From a
client perspective I'd like to use WFS as the site/station
discovery service, then drill down to the data from the
sites with SOS/WCS.
Superficially at least, it seems that a GDAL/mapserver
combination is well suited to this task.
Can anyone here comment on how realistic this might be?
Any developers interested in undertaking the work required
- initially a GDAL driver talking to the TIDEDA api?
Is the WCS & SOS support in mapserver able to support
1D timeseries data?
Does anyone know of a CWS client that supports 1D
timeseries content?
Thanks,
Brent Wood
