Interface Format

@UML(identifier="CV_Format",
     specification=OGC_01004)
public interface Format

A discovery mechanism to determine the formats supported by a GridCoverageExchange implementation. A GridCoverageExchange implementation can support a number of file format or resources.

WARNING: THIS CLASS WILL CHANGE. Current API is derived from OGC Grid Coverages Implementation specification 1.0. We plan to replace it by new interfaces derived from ISO 19123 (Schema for coverage geometry and functions). Current interfaces should be considered as legacy and are included in this distribution only because they were part of GeoAPI 1.0 release. We will try to preserve as much compatibility as possible, but no migration plan has been determined yet.

Since:

GeoAPI 2.0
