[fdo-internals] RFC 11 has been posted

[Haris Kurtagic]

I believe FDO needs a middle tier ( common layer ).
In that tier stuff like this could be placed and things like caching,
security, logging, joins, ...

That is something I am thinking of lately ( and prototyping it ).

Hi Frank,

The FDO api does not include any coordinate system transformation
abilities. The only coordinate system information that is included is
the ability to specify a coordinate system for a geometry property (via
spatial context) and to get that information back when describing that
property. There are no commands to specify input or output coordinate
systems for the purposes of projecting coordinates.

All projection work so far has been done by client applications, e.g.
MapGuide projects coordinates into the map coordinate system after
retrieving geometry from the provider. This does ensure that a
consistent projection library is used regardless of which provider the
data is coming from.

Thanks,
Orest.

Thomas,

I'm somewhat leery about the provider deciding whether to return meters
or
degrees internally with no way for the application code to know what
will
happen.  I think, either the provider should indicate what it is going
to
do, or we should peg this down and perhaps provide helper functions to
support it as suggested by others.

Does FDO currently provide any generic means to reproject feature
geometries?
I have the impression it does not, though I might easily have missed it.
I
think it ought to.

Best regards,
--
