This section is an attempt to build a basic library used as reference by the geotools community ; inputs still needed!!!

The procedure we could follow is the following :
1) define the categories we want to use

• Towns
  • roads
  • buidings
• Water
  • rivers
  • lake
• Lanscape
• Military
  ...

2) Define for each category the symbols we want
-> buildings : church, hospital, ...

3) for each symbol define :

• the graphical symbol used with a picture
• the name
• the ressource where we can find it (for instance a font file, an image, ...)
• a gif, png image to be used into GUI
  *...

4) provide for each symbol the SLD file which could be used

5) provide a .zip with all these data

6) provide a tool if possible to help creating new symbols
