Sto leggendo questo post interessante, di Paul Ramsey.
(ne trovate segnalazione anche in un paio di articoli recenti di Slashgeo. tra cui " The State of Spatial Data Infrastructures").
Le “good news” (alla Gabanelli ?!?) segnalate da Ramsey:
The good news is that the various parts of the vision are coming together.
- The WMS specification is fully proven, and now widely implemented. Most importantly, it is implemented in proprietary desktop tools with wide user bases. When you think about the product development and release cycles involved, getting a new standard into a product is a pretty complex dance.
- The WFS specification is on “phase one” of widespread adoption – a number of vendors have implemented half-assed attempts at WFS clients. The next round of attempts will probably be much better and useful, which will in turn charge up the relevance of the technology.
E le sue conclusioni:
…
A GeoNapster could dramatically improve data sharing, by making the process very very very easy.
