[OpenLayers-Users] Has anyone tried animation / or how to?

[Barend Kobben]

HI,

We actually have  an MSc student just started on seeing how to do this using
WMS-T and SVG. SVG enables an integrated animation/interface, using SMIL
animation and javascript interactivity. We hope to present some results at
the upcoming SVGopen conference in Nurnberg (Germany, august 26-29)). See
the abstract "SVG and Geo Web Services for visualization of time series data
of flood risk" on the Proceedings page at http://svgopen.org/2008/
