From Bob.Basques at ci.stpaul.mn.us Thu Aug 20 09:48:34 2009 From: Bob.Basques at ci.stpaul.mn.us (Bob Basques) Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 08:48:34 -0500 Subject: [tiling] Newbie here . . .Just saying hi. Message-ID: <4A8D0DE2.163B.00A8.0@ci.stpaul.mn.us> All, Hi, just read through the WIKI and added myself as an interested party. My main interest is in using something like tilecaching to provide an emergency response platform that can stand on it's own if the network goes down. Some sort of system that would auto-cascade (to some degree) while there was anetwork, and then run on it's own if the network drops for some reason. While I'm not focusing on the specific tile scheme(a) I do think this is the approach to take with easily syncing two services (master and remote) so that the client can retrieve from either in some semi-automated fashion. More of an interest in the application aspects. I can run this all internally without the need to have a standard (yet), but for obvious reasons, it makes sense to have a standard. One thought after reading the WIKI is why not set up something along the lines of an interpreter/convertor that can feed off of existing systems to build a tilecache, then it becomes more of a Client thing vs a server thing. . . . Just musing some here to get a conversation started. . . . bobb -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I can run this all internally without the need to have a standard (yet), but for obvious reasons, it makes sense to have a standard. Um. We have a copule tiling standards. The WMS-C req and the TMS spec. Both are widely used. (Ther'es also WMTS; that isn't widely used.) Not sure what your thoughts are with regard to needing another spec. -- Chris > One thought after reading the WIKI is why not set up something along the lines of an interpreter/convertor that can feed off of existing systems to build a tilecache, then it becomes more of a Client thing vs a server thing. . . .
