<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=997331216-13072005>I am really asking
this question on behalf of Andrew Woolf, after he raised it in a meeting

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=997331216-13072005>In the WCS spec it
should be possible to request BBOX as x,y,z (if the data format in the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=997331216-13072005>coverage) supports
it. This is kind of important for weather data, currently we work around
this using</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=997331216-13072005>the bands to be a z

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=997331216-13072005>Is it possible to
extend GDAL (and hence MapServer) to use 3D/4D+ data sets?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=997331216-13072005>The bands and
temporal subsetting are great, and are really fast, just a BBOX of x,y,z would
be useful.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
