The GML Coverage specification (3.1) defines an array of coverage types. The MultiPoint coverage (Page 231). I was wondering if GeoServer supports this coverage type.
a vector point layer, and translate it into a coverage by superimposing
a regular grid and doing some summary operation on the points
in each cell (count, average and the like)?
is an option that i have been contemplating but wanted to check beforehand if any valid coverage (multipoint) implementations are available.
There is nothing such as this in the official implementation, I know a user >> that did create something similar, but with a
datastore, that is, the result is still vector (a set of squares) not a coverage.
would it be possible to get a look at this implementation?

No, we don't. Current efforts are on multidimensional coverages, I frankly never heard of the multipoint kind before (is this referred
as the "lattice" representation in GIS books?)

I have no idea. I'll ask the author of that plugin

The GML 3.1 specification defines a MultiPoint Coverage as "a collection of arbitrarily distributed geometric points"... so no i dont think its a lattice... (although the one example they have provided would build a lattice like structure!)
