    • interface allows load WFS capabilities doc
    • prototype must go through and look for available feature types, check that GML application schema is understandable

  • Create final document structure

• Achieved:
  • implement WCS data pull
  • MapService? creation on the OM server.
  • getAlgorithms, getLayers... almost all done from the Omservice side
  • NameSearch? now worksw fine and provide accepted name.
  • HTML interface has fastly improved
  • connection with DPS is working and implemented in Flex.
  • cheks for avaialble featureTypes in a WFS service
  • Passsing parameters between different screens and the final picture is a lit of confussing
  • The document report has not been started...
• Cost - 5 coconuts

  • Run model - a wrapper for createModel, projectModel and getMapAsWcs - Aimee & Tim
  • Complete UI integration PHP (Pete & Bart) - Flex (Javier)
  • Implement OGC result browser (openLayers?) - Dave

• Achieved:
