[mapserver-users] OpenGIS CITE

We haven't, though I've heard various things about it, notably that the
tests suites are extremely detailed, and stick VERY closely to the entire
spec.

As such, most software isn't expected to pass all tests, including
MapServer, since some parts of some specs aren't always very clear or
realistic.

I don't recall the details, but again, if memory serves me right MapServer
would NOT pass WMS or WFS, motsly due to the fact that it's more forgiving
of certain behaviors and mistakes than the spec says it should.

If someone wants to give a try, it'd be neat to see the results ... Any
effort to make it comply with the tests would probably break a whole lot of
mapserver applications however.

Hi list,

has anyone from the mapserver community participated in the OpenGIS CITE 
initiative, to see how conformant mapserver is to the OpenGIS 
specifications? I know their test suite is only in beta, but perhaps 
somebody from mapserver has done the beta test.

Thanks,
Bart
