<div class="yiv7053135moz-cite-prefix">Hi Brent,<br>
<br>
seems like a great move! I am responding to your question of a 1D
WCS client.<br>
<br>
Our project is rasdaman [1], an nD array DBMS which offers, among
others, a WCS interface. As partners & users wanted to have
(individual!) clients we have started the "rasdaman web client
toolkit", raswct [2]. It supports 1D timeseries display as one
option, obtained through a WCS or WCPS request. Input widgets
allow to set parameters through gauges, sliders, etc. - you may or
may not find it useful. Feedback greatly appreciated!<br>
<br>
best,<br>
Peter<br>

<td style="font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-size-adjust:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;" valign="top">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm exploring the possibility of a GDAL driver for TIDEDA
datasets. For a description of TIDEDA, see: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.niwa.co.nz/software/tideda-time-dependent-data">http://www.niwa.co.nz/software/tideda-time-dependent-data</a><br>
<br>
Briefly, it is a tool for managing timeseries data from
sources like climate & hydrometric stations. NIWA is
considering Open Sourcing the tool, and enabling
interoperability with other Open Source tools &
supporting data delivery via web services (ie: via GDAL
& mapserver) seems like a very useful step (whether or
not we do open up the codebase - it will be useful to the
users).<br>
<br>
The preferred (& obvious) web services to use are
OGC:SOS & OGC:WCS (WCS as a 1D time series). From a
client perspective I'd like to use WFS as the site/station
discovery service, then drill down to the data from the
sites with SOS/WCS.<br>
<br>
Superficially at least, it seems that a GDAL/mapserver
combination is well suited to this task.<br>
<br>
<br>
Can anyone here comment on how realistic this might be? <br>
<br>
Any developers interested in undertaking the work required
- initially a GDAL driver talking to the TIDEDA api? <br>
<br>
Is the WCS & SOS support in mapserver able to support
1D timeseries data?<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of a CWS client that supports 1D
timeseries content?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Brent Wood<br>
