Medical imagery? Think of the Dicom community.
Spatial imagery?
I do think Al may have a point regarding raster based
image data.
One of my main interest's in XML is it's data
longetivity potential. What facilities are there for
raster (pixel) based data?
CGM? Which I believe did cover raster data,
but is a pretty (too) complex standard.
Len, as the list conscience, would you have memories
on stuff like IPI and IPI-IIF? (ISO/IEC 12087)
What kind of ideas were behind that? Is it still
good, is it bad, or has it turned ugly?
