Re: Support for projections (was GALEON WCS testing on DataFed)

NOTE: The galeon mailing list is no longer active. The list archives are made available for historical reasons.

IMHO we'll have to live with the fact that some servers may offer coverages not "compatible" with others, in the extreme case even across the same server. 
I wouldn't enforce by standard that a server does reprojection on coverages.

feel free to flame me... ;-)

I don't know the correct CRS for the output data, but as a programmer I'd like suggest an approach from different direction: 

Everybody should support at least EPSG:4326.
Because then you can overlay anything with anything else, with a simple offset+factor calculation. This would solve our problems immediately. 

Having additional projections is a nice plus, though.
I guess this would imply that everyone must support reprojection to a lat/lon grid. In Unidata's case we've been trying to see whether WCS can be used for serving "raw" data.
