Hi all,

I'm interested in 'enriching' SimpleFeatures from a GeoTools datastore with data from other vector and/or raster layers. As a concrete example, if I had the location of a building, I might want to return the country it is (from a countries shapefile layer) and the current or predicated temperature from a weather raster layer.

From a quick pass at the docs, I've seen the cross-vector layer styling. Are there other extensions I ought to check out?

And are there any existing WPS processes which may help?

Thanks in advance,

Jim
