Hi Hugo,
that looks very cool.
I've been looking into this for a while and the thing that seems to be
missing even in the expensive commercial software is the ability to define
(non-spatial) relationships between data points.
The articles I've found about this sort of thing via google all suggest
that it would be very useful and discuss  basic structures but I haven't
been able to find an implementation. Ideally I'd find something
implemented so compatibility was built in.

Using postgis is a great. I'm working on the relationships in access at the
moment just because it's easy to visualise and is installed on most of the
PC's I work with. Once I get the tables right I'll look at moving to
something better.

Matt
