Peter,
We are definitely interested. Does the Data Transfer Standard encompass
features, gridded coverages and raster maps? If features, does this
inherit the GML feature model? Very interested.

Dear
Mr. Tucker,
My colleague, Jamie Clark,
forwarded me your message regarding your endorsement of Bernard Snyers for the
OCG Architecture Board.
This prompted me to write
you regarding some new and interesting GIS working occurring at OASIS (http://www.oasis-open.org) to solicit
your input, support, and possible participation, in these projects. The
first is the Forestry Industry Technical Committee which is working on two
standards. One is the GIS Data Transfer Standard (GIS DTS) which is a mechanism
to facilitate information exchange, making the Forestry Industry more efficient
and competitive. The GIS DTS works with different GIS systems and does not
require any specific data storage format. New GIS and database systems being
designed for use in the Forestry Industry will take advantage of the Data
Transfer Standard, and have data models built in a compatible way. This in turn
will further reduce barriers to the flow of information in the future.
The second is still in the chartering process concerns the formation of
Conservation-related information exchange Technical Committees. Among other
topics, it would provide a global resource for "Biodiversity and
XML", where there are numerous current and abandoned efforts to define the
XMl-based semantic ontologies and related geographic data required to define a
global open standard for exchanging biodiversity information.
Please let me know if you
are interested in these projects or would like additional information.
Thank you.
Regards,
Peter

Mr. Clark,
In determining your organization's 12 votes for the
OGC Architecture
Board, I would like to request that you cast one vote
for IONIC's
candidate, Bernard Snyers. Bernard is our Chief
Architect, and has
been involved in implementing the entire OGC
architecture in IONIC's
RedSpider product line since the inception of the
Interoperability
Program testbeds in 1999. Bernard's value to the
OAB will be driven
by his intimate knowledge of OGC's past and present
technical
debates, as well as his active engagement with
emerging technology
trends.
Please go to
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/index.php?m=public&orderby=oab&tab=3&voteID
<http://portal.opengeospatial.org/index.php?m=public&orderby=oab&tab=3&voteID>=
. Any member can view the nominations, letters of
endorsement, and
so forth. However, only the voting representatives for
the

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact

in advance for your consideration. Your support
is much appreciated.
Chris
