Re: The Multiple types of coverage requirement

Frans-

yes, true indeed. The OGC Coverage Implementation Schema 1.1 is currently under
discussion (I can provide a copy if needed), and upon acceptance by OGC will
also get injected into ISO TC211 to become ISO 19123-2.
Current 19123 is scheduled for rework (don't rely on it now!) and will become
19123-1.

cheers,
Peter
