GDAL handles by itself BEAM-DIMAP format. Processes could support this format with a twist (ie: zipped variant) if they desire so, but still up to the process to manipulate the data.
A typical BEAM-DIMAP is composed of a
<product-id>.dim
file and a<product-id>.data
directory with many other files under it.To differentiate from any other zip, we could have
application/dim+zip
since there isn't any explicit mime-type for it. This would help a process figure out if it should unzip the file first and then change.zip
t.dim
to find everything where expected.With BEAM-DIMAP-specific ZIP format, we still have a problem regarding different sensors (Sentinel, RADARSAT, etc.) that employ the same "file format" although very different underlying structure. We need a more accurate method to indicate how to filter inputs/outputs for those specific use cases (eg: Process working only for a given type of sensor).
