[gdal-dev] Possible new GDAL driver (funded work) for mapserver access?

[Peter Baumann]

Hi Brent,

seems like a great move! I am responding to your question of a 1D WCS client.

Our project is rasdaman [1], an nD array DBMS which offers, among others, a WCS 
interface. As partners & users wanted to have (individual!) clients we have 
started the "rasdaman web client toolkit", raswct [2]. It supports 1D timeseries 
display as one option, obtained through a WCS or WCPS request. Input widgets 
allow to set parameters through gauges, sliders, etc. - you may or may not find 
it useful. Feedback greatly appreciated!

best,
Peter
