Report on progress: preparing OGC meeting next month, thinking about next SIS release

[Martin Desruisseaux <ma...@geomatys.fr>]

Hello all

The upgrade to ISO 19115:2014 is now completed (except for the XML part)
- I do not see any additional work in this area for now. I'm now working
on a session for the next OGC meeting about this upgrade and the roadmap
for a GeoAPI release. The main point is that preserving backward
compatibility has been hard, which lead me to propose a two-step process:

  * GeoAPI 3.1 would contains only the changes that are 100% compatible
    with GeoAPI 3.0.
  * GeoAPI 4.0 (release date to be determined later) would add the
    remaining changes.


On the SIS side, I was hoping that Apache SIS 0.5 would contain a more
complete referencing engine. But given that the upgrade to ISO
19115:2014 took much more time than I expected, we may consider that
this upgrade alone is worth a SIS release. Completion of the referencing
engine would be delayed to Apache SIS 0.6. If this proposal sound okay,
I would suggest a SIS 0.5 release date around December 10th. This one
month delay give us more time to test the upgraded metadata framework in
real application, and give us a chance to perform last-minute fix if the
talk at the OGC meeting shows us that we got some aspects wrong.

What do peoples think?

Martin,

I think a Dec. 10th release date sounds great.
