Hi Jesse,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’ve actually done work in this area as well. After reading your needs list and before seeing that you thought about DWG/SVG, I’ll say that those were the two formats I was going to suggest for storing everything. DXF is open, as well as DWG
(More work though).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You might be able to make a case for GeoJSON, but it’s limiting in some ways, and you would probably need to include JS or a JS Lib as well as the styling info separately. Although you could conceivably put it all into a single HTML doc.</div>

Before I go too far down the wrong path perhaps you can help me with a suggestion on a vector format to use for a project of mine:
<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm to looking to basically re-create various Instrument Approach Procedure plates (see
<a href="http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1513/00375il28r.pdf" class="">here</a> for an example for San Francisco International - SFO ) from a database via a perl script and display a number of them as vector overlays in an existing QGIS project<br class="">
<br class="">
What would be a good format to use for this purpose? <br class="">
<br class="">
I'm imagining something like a QGIS project file, but I want it to contain to contain all of the various bits of information internally (coordinates, names, styling, icons etc.) and not have to query anything external so each file is a stand-alone unit.
<br class="">
<br class="">
Ideally all of the coordinates would be real world lon/lat so no transformation would be required. Bonus points if the format is openly standardized and easy to work with<br class="">
<br class="">
DWG/DXF? SVG?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks,<br class="">
Jesse<br class="">
