<div>I'm currently talking with some of the other OpenJUMP developers about a simple binary format that we can use to store Features in a way that complements the storage of geometries in the OpenGIS Well-Known-Binary WKB format. I thought this might be of interest to other open source GIS projects, so I am sending a brief message here. I'd be willing to work with developers from other projects on a format that could be used by other applications.

<div>I've put a rough draft of the format here: <a href="http://thejumppilotproject.pbwiki.com/OpenJUMP-Binary-Feature-Format">http://thejumppilotproject.pbwiki.com/OpenJUMP-Binary-Feature-Format</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let me know if your interested, or if you have any suggestions. I hope to finalize the format in the next week or two. In the next month or two I hope to have a working parser for the binary format in Java that will be released under the GPL through the SurveyOS SourceForge Project.
