Heavy on Conceptual Frameworks, Data ModelsVery lite on implementation/experimentationDoesn't incorporate common data formats, etc.

WMS for Time Navigation

time=2006-09-15+11:07:00

● value - a single value● value1,value2,value3,... - a list of multiple values.● min/max/resolution - an interval defined by its lower and upper bounds and its resolution.● min1/max1/res1,min2/max2/res2,... - a list of multiple intervals.


Mapserver supports WMS Time
