There have been compressed, streaming, multi-resolution formats for image data available for several years but there was no such format for geographic vector data until recently. We took on the challenge to create such a database format starting in 2001 and the format is now known as RaveGeo. This paper describes the concept, some of the lessons learned during the design and implementation of RaveGeo and some results from using it.
