Concept
- Fire up the manageR UI from QGIS
- Load data sets (dynamically) from soRvi. All data sets available in soRvi are listed
- Select the data set (or actually sub dataset)
- Data set is loaded from soRvi as Spatial* object and can be examined (see Workspace manager on the right)
- Data can be manipulated/analyzed and the exported to QGIS
- Exported data can be viewed/analyzed in QGIS, also good for making maps
- manageR (http://www.ftools.ca/manageR/) itself has a simple, extensible plugin system for creating custom GUI menus...
- ... and it also runs stand-alone (i.e. outside QGIS) using PyQt and RPy2
