[OSGeo-Discuss] Image Handling in RDBMS

[Gilberto Camara]

Dear Ivan

A GDAL driver for a TerraLib raster is a very
welcome development. This driver will
allow FOSS4G folks to experiment with their image datasets
and reach their own conclusions about the issue.

Additionally, we are discussing internally on how
to make our code available inside PostGIS.
What happens currently is that our priority for 2008
is to make TerraLib OGC-compliant at all levels.
This is a task we announced at the Victoria FOSS4G conference
and that we hope to be finished before the end of the year.
After this priority is carried out, we will consider other
matters.

Best Regards
Gilberto
