[mapserver-users] OGR doesn't grok GML3?

[Burgholzer,Robert]

This is excellent news! Thanks!  I will let you know how it goes for me. 

I am cc'ing the Mapserver listserv so as to keep a record of this online, and to see if others find it useful.

r.b.

Hi There,

  Just few comments in case this might help:

  There is a patch submitted in  http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2311 
that could help in this case.  The patch was intended for the reading of 
gml3 profile 1.
  Couple of  issues I had when proposing the  patch is that the support 
for  things like gml:posList are limited. According to the specs for 
gml3.1/level 1 gml:posList does not have any attribute but for gml3.1, 
it could have attributes such as a dimension (<gml:posList 
srsDimension="3">.  The patch assumes a 2 dimension geometry.
  It is also my understanding  that currently the ogr gml parser strips 
out any attribute information from the gml file, and things like 
"srsDimension" are not available in gml2ogrgeometry.cpp.  I think any 
upgrade to the reader would have to address this.

Note that using this patch and modifying it a bit to assume a 3d 
geometries for posList elements, I was able to read polygon/line/points 
coming out of the wfs server (http://frameworkwfs.usgs.gov/) and display 
it in Mapserver.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
