[OpenLayers-Dev] KML / OWS Context support in OpenLayers

[Sebastian Schmitz]

Hi there,

I think it is important to align our KML OpenLayers efforts. We should 
exchange deliverables and check whether they match or build upon each other.

WhereGroups deliverables for Mapbender are:

   1. render basic KML geometries (KML Core)
   2. KML NetworkLink (eg to OWS registered in Mapbender portal) (KML
      Linking oder Core)
   3. basic KML styling (colors) (KML Styling)
   4. (export KML from Mapbender)

One big chunk for us will be to fully integrate OpenLayers in the first 
place and then I gather, implementing support for KML NetworkLink in OL 
will need most work. Basic rendering is partly there and should be easy 
to extend to polygons, I belive/hope. What is state of the art regarding 
styling?

We will earliest start October.

What are others (TOPP, Mapbuilder/Lisasoft)  deliverables?

Cheers

Sebastian
