Hi,

Me and others are planning to move PG to ISO19100 compliance. ISO19100 is
the future standard that is describing GIS systems. 

If you visit FMaps.sourceforge.net and go in the CVS you will see in the
directory /src/geoobj/ procedures to add geographic data types to PG. These
procedures need to be rewritten as they are not ISO19100 compliant. But all
the concepts are there and working.

The work doesn't stop here and include metadata schema, feature schema, but
a the moment the crunch is creating  a geographic object type in PG and
rendering it.

Cheers.

Subject: [GENERAL] GIS-type databases using PostgreSQL


Hello,

Has anyone out there had experience designing/building GIS-related 
databases using PostgreSQL? As a newbie approaching this topic, I would 
really appreciate hearing from anyone who has (off-list, unless you 
think it is of general interest).

TIA,
Cheers,

Laurel
