Re: The "Resolution global grid" requirement [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I can't see the original requirement at the URL below.

It may possibly refer to the concept described at [1], ISO/TC 211 NWIP N 4037: TheMap Code Standard:


"The Mapcode system defines a set of grids on the surface of the earth, a unique code for each grid cell, and algorithms to convert the code of a grid cell into the lattitude and longitude of the center point of that grid cell; determine, for any lattitude and longitude, the code of the grid cell(s) that contain the coordinate. The system was designed tot provide a very short, unique, easy to remember, easy to communicate code for any location on earth, in essence matching the capabilities of the lattitude/longitude system, with the provision that it intended to be accurate only on the "human scale". "



It may also refer to the concept of a geodesic grid [2].

Hi Alejandro, Frans,

admittedly I also cannot imagine what's behind this requirement.

Should "represent" mean "can be served by W3C interfaces"? From a logical perspective, a [-180:+180] extent is just a special case (it seems not under consideration by this requirement what happens beyond that).

Should it mean that a coverage must be able to span the planet? This is not an interface question (which is the level I believe is discussed by W3C) but a matter of scalable implementation (which is individual to the tools out there). Desirable resolution, OTOH, is highly case dependent - 90m may or may not be adequate.

Bottom line: don't see the contribution of this requirement.

-Peter

In this case, I directly copied the input from the spreadsheet (generated at the F2F meeting in Barcelona), so I would appreciate some help from people in the group with expertise in coverage data.

Cheers,

Hola Alejandro,

The Resolution global grid<http://w3c.github.io/sdw/UseCases/SDWUseCasesAndRequirements.html#ResolutionGlobalGrid> requirement is not clear to me. It reads "It should be possible to represent a medium resolution global grid, e.g. 90m raster data across the globe."


  *   What is meant by 'represent'?
  *   Why only a medium resolution grid? Is it already possible to represent high and low resolution global grids?

Saludos,
Frans
