<br>
looks like for ArcGIS 10 ESRI came to the same conclusion than us at the<br>
break out meeting: that a "compact tiling format" that stores multiple<br>
tiles in a single file would be cool:<br>
<<a href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/help/arcgis_server_dotnet_help/index.html#/Inside_the_compact_cache_storage_format/00930000165z000000/" target="_blank">http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/help/arcgis_server_dotnet_help/index.html#/Inside_the_compact_cache_storage_format/00930000165z000000/</a>><br>
of course "The internal architecture of the bundle is not publicly<br>
documented by ESRI"<br>
<br>
But wouldn't it be nice if we defined our own thing collaboratively<br>
using this list as a communication board? Then tile blob stores could be<br>
used interchangeably by our projects?<br>
<br>
If interested, we could start thinking about this. Sounds like a nice<br>
new year project to me.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
