Implement a Geotiff driver to read and write GeoTIFF file.

Beam have GeoTiff related class: https://github.com/bcdev/beam/blob/master/beam-geotiff/src/main/java/org/esa/beam/dataio/geotiff/GeoTiffProductReader.java

[ebocher]

Yes but Beam uses Geotools to parse geotiff fields.

Ok. Used specification is here http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/spec/contents.html

Does gdms was able to read GeoTiff in the past ?

[ebocher]

No. GRAP was used to read and write acsii and world file image. I propose to test raster datatype with a basic model : tiff + wordlfile + prj (optional).
