[Freegis-list] Binary Format For Features

[Sunburned Surveyor]

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.

I've put a rough draft of the format here:

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.
