Hi,

Sorry for the late response.

We are happy to provide what we can. Its something that we are
interested in ourselves but where the student working on it has left.

I have also contacted Prof. Zipf from the University of Heidelberg and
we will have a call tomorrow. Maybe, he would like to contribute a bit
as well. We certainly share the same goals. Obviously, he has no
funding, so I am not sure what he can do.

I am not sure what we need to add here. We see XML3D as a "delivery
format" and not so much as a storage format (for GIS or other data).
Thus, as long as we can map GIS data to something that we can display,
we should be fine. Associated data (such as a reference to the
coordinate system used, can easily be embedded as semantic references or
such.

We are also working on advanced POI specs, which should be useful to
place things in the world.

What might make sense is to support high-resolution (at least based on
doubles) transformations between coordinate spaces, just so we loose
less accuracy over wide distances.

Is there anything else that you are missing? I would love to hear about
them, so we can think about suitable extensions.


Best,

	Philipp
