[udig-devel] uDig extension presentation on the 2nd Open Source GIS Meeting in Girona (Catalonia, Spain)

[Jody Garnett]

Looking over your links now....

The uDig project is open to collaboration. The transition from a 
community module to core udig has thus far been done via a careful code 
review; mostly I am concerned about maintaining the "uDig vision" as 
outlined by our project guidelines.

So if you want to come play on uDig trunk you are welcome; the project 
looks very interesting - and some of the functionality should certainly 
be located as part of the uDig platform.

A couple technical questions:
- One question I had was about the use of SOAP between the client and 
the Oracle Web Services platform - is this simply for security? Or are 
you making use of an existing web service platform you already have.
- You left the Vector image display blank; was that intentional?
- Can I confirm that the Bi-temporal management is the idea of allowing 
the map to display information at a specific point in time (in addition 
to the the usual point in space).

You should find that a of existing oracle support available to the RCP 
developer; that company is into RCP in a big way (I was impressed with 
some of their BPEL editors a while back).

On a related note a "versioning" postgis solution has been set up as a 
geotools unsupported module; it may be very tempting to define a "time 
aware" query api for both back ends to support. This will more be a 
decision for you - I do not know how much history and tracking 
information you are interested in - it goes beyond your needs for 
*Bi-temporal management*

Cheers,
Jody

> We have contributed with an abstract and a poster of a project that we are developing for the Spatial Data Infraestructure (SDI) of Gipuzkoa province (Basque country). The poster depicts main issues of this uDig extension case, which consists of an application interface for the maintenance of an Oracle Geospatial Repository in a SOA architecture.

> I´ve uploaded the poster image and a little bit of more information to my blog[2] in order to share it with the uDig list.
>
> We are trying to expand our services based on this kind of solutions, and we would also like to try to find out if the project (or a piece of it) could be worth to be contributed to the uDig trunk.
