Implement OGC 3 Dimensional data types

This project will implement support for the 3D data types as listed in this table in compliance with the Open Geospatial Consortium Simple Feature Specification for SQL (OGC SFS) standard.

This project should be considered medium complexity, and requires experience with C, GDB, and Subversion. Any experience with geospatial data and systems is considered an asset.

Mapserver support for Ingres

This project will update Mapserver code to support Ingres for storage/retrieval of geospatial data.

Mapserver supports GDAL/OGR today, which supports Ingres. As well, Mapserver supports other open source DBMSs thus there is plenty of basis for comparison and verification that the code is working properly.

This project should be considered medium complexity, and requires experience with C, GDB, and Subversion. Any experience with geospatial data and systems (especially Mapserver) is considered an asset.

Introduce CMake to Ingres' build system

CMake is a powerful build engine, and supports many platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc.) This project is to implement CMake to run Ingres builds. Doing so should enable taking advantage of multiple cores, and should remove dependence on Cygwin to do Ingres builds on Windows.

This project should be considered medium complexity. A subset of the work is high complexity to figure it out, and then low complexity to implement it. Thus there's a fair amount of repetitive work and potential for automation in this project.

GeoTools support for Ingres

GeoTools is a Java class library that enables a host of applications including GeoServer, UDiG, and more. This project is already under way with details captured on the GeoTools project page. The work for this project involves modifying GeoTools code to support Ingres and testing cutting edge geospatial software.

This project should be considered medium complexity, and requires experience with Java, Eclipse, and Subversion. Any experience with geospatial data and systems (especially GeoServer) is considered an asset.
