Requirements to save GIS information in different formats

I have a requirement to save GIS information in the following formats:

JPG
TIFF
PNG
GML
SVG

and if possible:
GEOTIFF
JPG2000

There is also a requirement for passing around and understanding GML
in a profile basically mapping to the Simple Profile. Therefore what
I would like to do is to pass around info in GML and convert from GML
to these formats. I figure the best conversion would be convert to SVG
and then from SVG use something like Batik to go to the other required
formats. This however is just what my initial supposition would be on
how to handle a problem I am not an expert in, and goes with my
natural predisposition to roll my own so as to completely control the
solution. I suppose however there are probably already solutions to
handle this kind of thing, my requirements for a purchased solution
would be:

Extremely flexible API, if I am going to recommend we buy a solution I
want to be able to programmatically access the geographical info and
update it from the api and generate all possible wanted outputs.

.NET interface a plus.

COM interface also useful.

If the application has WMI/WBEM interface that would be really cool
but not required.


Any ideas/suggestions on either tools that do this, or advice on my
idea on how to handle requirements?

Pretty much any Web Map Server will do this. Try MapServer or
GeoServer.
