[gdal-dev] WCS driver

[Peter Baumann]

Hi all,

splendid idea! Anybody who feels like working on WCS 2 support, feel free to
contact me or my group for any sort of explanations sought (I am the spec writer
of the coverages, admittedly). Note that the Coverage Implementation Schema
(CIS) 1.1 is out.  Maybe this is a good starter:
http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/CoveragesDWG/WebHome . I' be
most happy to see GDAL WCS2-enabled!

cheers,
Peter
