[Freegis-list] Tiger Line data to Svg

[Jens Fitzke]

Hi Samvith,

the deegree Web Feature Server (http://deegree.sourceforge.net) is 
capable of doing what you're looking for. The GML Feature Collection 
produced by a getFeature request can be processed by an additional XSLT 
script (which might produce SVG).

the following configuration snippet shows how (it is the FILTER param 
which points to the XSLT script):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="no"?>
<DatastoreConfiguration name="features" type="GMLDB">
	<Connection name="myDB">
		[...]
	</Connection>
	<FeatureType name="NIMA_GNS">
		<OutputFormat>
			<GML2 ...>
				<Param name="FILTER" value="file:///home/xx/trans.xsl"/>
				<SchemaLocation>file:///home/xx/xx.xsd</SchemaLocation>
			</GML2>
		</OutputFormat>
...

If you think that deegree might be a solution to your problem, I'd 
suggest to register to the project's user mailing list 
(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/deegree-users). Also, you 
could take a look at some postings by Luigi M. (5/2003) who worked on 
the GML/SVG topic.

I have come across some correspondence on this mailing list that suggests that these conversions are possible and that some of these converters( GML -> SVG[using XSLT])    maybe available online as well ? How is this possible ? are these converters already available and if not is there  any source that could guide us through creating them ?
