This is the parent task for the various parts of the new Coverage I/O framework. The goals for this framework are:

• Make as much geographic metadata as possible available through javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadata.
• Define an IIOMetadataFormat as close as possible to ISO 19115-2 and ISO 19129 standards.
• Close integration with org.opengis.metadata for easy integration with MD-Web and similar projects.
• Allow visual exploration of metadata for making easier to check correctness.

This I/O framework should delegate as much decoding work as possible on the Image I/O layer. The Coverage I/O layer (which is on top of the Image I/O layer) should not have any decoding work left. A single CoverageReader instance should be able to rule all possible ImageReader (assuming they are compliant with the IIOMetadataFormat we define).
