GEOS

claimed by OSGeo - The Open Source Geospatial Foundation

GEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source) is a C++ port of the Java Topology Suite (JTS). As such, it aims to contain the complete functionality of JTS in C++. This includes all the OpenGIS "Simple Features for SQL" spatial predicate functions and spatial operators, as well as specific JTS topology functions such as IsValid().

GeoNetwork opensource

claimed by OSGeo - The Open Source Geospatial Foundation

GeoNetwork opensource is a standardized and decentralized spatial information management environment, designed to enable access to geo-referenced databases, cartographic products and related metadata from a variety of sources, enhancing the spatial information exchange and sharing between ... [More] organizations and their audience, using the capacities of the internet. This approach of geographic information management aims at facilitating a wide community of spatial information users to have easy and timely access to available spatial data and to existing thematic maps that might support informed decision making. GeoNetwork opensource was established in 2001 and used a CVS code repository before moving to SVN in 2007. [Less]

JTS Topology Suite

The JTS Topology Suite is an API of 2D spatial predicates and functions. It has the following design goals: * JTS conforms to the Simple Features Specification for SQL published by the Open GIS Consortium * JTS provides a complete, consistent, robust implementation of fundamental 2D spatial ... [More] algorithms * JTS is fast enough for production use * JTS is written in 100% pure Java( * JTS is open source (under the LGPL license) [Less]

MapGuide Open Source

claimed by OSGeo - The Open Source Geospatial Foundation

MapGuide Open Source is a web-based platform that enables users to quickly develop and deploy web mapping applications and geospatial web services. MapGuide features an interactive viewer that includes support for feature selection, property inspection, map tips, and operations such as buffer ... [More] , select within, and measure. MapGuide includes an XML database for managing content, and supports most popular geospatial file formats, databases, and standards. MapGuide can be deployed on Linux or Windows, supports Apache and IIS web servers, and offers extensive PHP, .NET, Java, and JavaScript APIs for application development. [Less]

Feature Data Objects (FDO)

claimed by OSGeo - The Open Source Geospatial Foundation

Feature Data Objects (FDO) is an API for manipulating, defining, and analyzing geospatial information regardless of where it is stored. FDO uses a provider-based model for supporting a variety of geospatial data sources, where each provider typically supports a particular data format or data store.

SharpMap

SharpMap is an easy-to-use mapping library for use in web and desktop applications. It provides access to many types of GIS data, enables spatial querying of that data, and renders beautiful maps.
