[Medin_dacwg] ability of DACs to handle positional data in various forms - repeat enquiry

[Gaffney, Sean P.]

Hi,

Sean from MEDIN Work Stream 2 here. I have contacted you a couple of times regarding this question -  we have been looking at the feasibility of capturing positional information in guidelines in formats other than simple CSV files. Examples of more complex positional geometries include GIS shapefiles, WKT, KML, Oracle Spatial etc.

However, before we expand the guidelines to encompass these other positional types, MEDIN need to understand the capabilities of the DACs to handle them. Therefore, can I please ask that each DAC responds to me with a list of the different positional formats that they are capable of handling?

I have now received feedback from the following organisations so thank you very much to them:
RCAHMW
DASSH
Cefas
Scottish Government

I would be very grateful to
BGS
Historic Environment Scotland
Met Office
UKHO
ADS
BODC

for your feedback.

Many thanks

Sean
