Hi,
I wonder what the sub-coverages in the OGC Coverage Implementation Schema (CIS) will add to the soup https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/64632

Ah, WPS, the one protocol to rule them all
And in the darkness bind them.
Muwhaahhahahahaa!!!
(but seriously, I agree it’s the only fully compliant option, the other
potential avenue being making a vendor extension to the WCS standard)Yes, that could work. Perhaps supporting a comma-separated list of coverage IDs, and then aggregating them on output? A bit fiddly if the underlying coverages have different dimensions and coordinate variables, but it could be done. Extending WCS would mean that the method for obtaining an aggregated coverage would be very similar to the method for obtaining a single coverage.
Right. To be honest, I’m not against the idea.
The major argument against would be, I guess, how can a client know if an output format is multi-coverage capable, and what conditions do the multi-coverages have to respect? (nothing, same CRS, same data type, and so on?)
But to be honest, we go out with arcgrid, how does a client know that arcgrid is not multiband capable?
Given that only a geoserver specific client would know that coverageid might take a comma separate list of values,
the worry about output format seems moot, it seems to me the client would have to be custom-made regardless.
The interesting part is imho another, how does one allow multi-coverage without too deep changes in the WCS 2.0
machinery? I’d say, by having DefaultWebCoverageService20 loop over the ids, getting a response out of each,
and then build a new multi-coverage response object that only netcdf knows how to handle:
Cheers
