Napo, in questo caso cerca di reggere fino in fondo, vale la pena.
semmai parliamone con Markus.

06:48:32 ominiverdi: hi all, does anybody knows if there's some free implementation of Web Terrain Service ( WTS )
06:49:59 zool: i never even *heard* of web terrain service... it is different from web coverage service?
06:50:30 ominiverdi: wts ( I've discovedered today ) should be a 3d stuff
06:50:41 zool: funky
06:50:48 ominiverdi: should be...
06:52:16 seven: zool: WTS can produce a 3D terrain image from an elevation model and any WMS on top of it. Looks like what GoogleEarth does.
06:52:54 seven: its an OGC spec but still v. 0.3...
06:52:54 ominiverdi: seven: thanks for clear explanation
06:52:56 zool: there are open source client implementations of it yet?
06:53:02 seven: Mapbender...
06:53:05 seven: :- )
06:53:16 seven: but only as prototyp as its not a real standard yet

06:53:33 zool: if it'
06:53:42 zool: if it's implemented, it's real, no? : )
06:53:44 zool: hey seven
06:54:06 seven: Um, yes. Strange, OGC works the other way round?!...
06:54:36 nhv: seven I believe refractions had a prototype at one point
06:54:43 nhv: only one I know of
06:55:19 mpg: What is special about WTS that you can't do with a WCS?
06:55:43 seven: look at it from an angle with an elevation and you can even add cloud vocerage, etc.
06:55:54 seven: -> coverage...
06:56:04 nhv: it renders an image like a WMS WCS is data
06:56:12 seven: nhv: right
06:56:16 mpg: Ah, got it.
06:56:32 : * seven is looking for a running demo...
06:56:47 : * ominiverdi is dreaming about it

06:57:42 nhv: might not be a WTS though
06:58:07 seven: nhv: Yeah, but this is the result of a request. So at least it looks the same.
06:58:21 nhv: I would think one could certainly script GRASS to be one
06:58:40 ominiverdi: right... we will do it so
