[OSGeo-Discuss] Project config files and interchange

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Tyler: good idea.  I think it would be useful, once we have a relatively
complete chart, to try to get a least common demonator among different
projects.  A few thoughts:

- initial display / aoi
- data connections (bindings, metadata, styles, etc.)

Having said this, an XML visualization grammar, such as OWSContext,
might be worth investigation as a possible start.
