GDAL SoC Ideas

GDAL/OGR Related ideas for the Google Summer of Code 2007:


 * Write an OGC WMS driver, likely somewhat modelled on the WCS driver implementation.
 * Implement a raster reader/writer for KML.
 * Implement vector KML reading.
 * Generally implement new file format drivers for geospatial raster or vector formats not already supported by GDAL/OGR.
 * Implement GeoPNG/GeoJPEG by embeding coordinate system and geotransformation information (possibly in GML) as chunks in PNG and JPEG files (see GML JP2 for a model of how this might be done).
 * Extend the OGR SQL parser to support some OGC SQL spatial function operators.
