Hi Brent,
apologies, I was not proposing to switch to rasdaman - I rather wanted to point
to raswct as something that might (or might not) be useful in some way, and
could be inspected. The code is LGPL, FWIW.
cheers,
Peter

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
