Add MultiPoint and MultiPointSeries profiles #52

Closed letmaik closed 8 years ago

Since SDW folks are nagging about point clouds, it may be a good idea to add a domain profile for that which is similar to Trajectory (without time component).

So, a single point is currently:

{
  "type": "Domain",
  "profile": "Point",
  "axes": {
    "x": { "values": [1] },
    "y": { "values": [20] },
    "z": { "values": [1] },
    "t": { "values": ["2008-01-01T04:00:00Z"] }
  },
  "referencing": [...]
}

A MultiPoint would be:

{
  "type": "Domain",
  "profile": "MultiPoint",
  "axes": {
    "composite": {
      "dataType": "Tuple",
      "components": ["x","y","z"], // z optional
      "values": [
        [1, 20, 1],
        [2, 21, 3]
      ]
    },
    "t": { "values": ["2008-01-01T04:00:00Z"] } // optional
  },
  "referencing": [...]
}

And then we should have a MultiPointSeries as well for consistency, which would simply allow the "t" axis to have multiple time values.

Looks good!
