Dear all,
currently I am trying to set up a database to store bathymetry data in. We have a couple hundred sets of data which are all structured in the same way "x y z". Meaning x-coordinate, y-coordinate and z which is depth in meters.
Since the data need to be visualized, edited and later on shared with project partners, I thought I would set up a postGis database and a mapserver and maybe some other applications when needed. After reading about OGC conformal services such as WMS and other standards I managed to get a postgreSQL database with postGis extension running and downloaded uDig. Both 1.2rc3 and 1.1.
The thing I really can not figure out is how to get the (raw) data into uDig and later on store them in the database. It would be great to import them directly into uDig and visualize them right away.
Can this be done and if so, how? I am new to this whole gis-databse stuff but it looks very promising for what I have in mind. Could anyone please point me at the right track? or am I getting something very basic wrong? Or is there any other place/forum I could ask for help?
Regards,
Jan
uDig 1.2rc3
ubuntu 9.10
postgresql 8.4
postgis 1.5
