[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Data, Open Source or Open Configuration, is there a method for Open Sourcing a particular configuration of Open Source projects?

[Brent Fraser]

Bob,

   Do you mean an Open Schema (database tables, rules etc)  for storing 
AVL and an Open Protocol for transferring  AVL data?  Good idea!  In the 
past I've DIY'ed AVL schemas with generally good success, but I don't 
know of any public/open schemas.

   While there are a few protocols out there in FOSS (some even 
documented), I don't think there's a clear winner yet.  I've been 
planning to look at OpenGTS/OpenDMTP.  And of course there's the whole 
OGC Sensor thing...

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
