It aims to collect links to gis-related Free Software Projects. Thus the further implementation can be improved since more attention can be drawn to the projects and maybe some projects can establish synergistic links. However some of the projects are OpenGIS compliant or at least are discussing if and how to achieve compliance. As I understand OGC has done a lot of work on Web Mapping in the past, but other specifications are still under discussion.

MITAB is an Open Source C++ library to read and write MapInfo .TAB (binary) and .MIF/MID files. It is based on the OGR library which is an implementation of the Open GIS Consortium Simple Feature specification. * new on the FreeGIS page: Virtual Terrain Project (VTP) If anyone has experience with the VTP software tools, I would like to hear about it. Unfortunately, the source code is available only on request, so I hope to receive it quickly ...

In particular it should support efficient spatial and attribute queries and be easily accessable from a variety of software environments. I am envisioning a RDBMS datastore, with PostgreSQL as one (of hopefully several) host databases, with geometry and attributes store in the database. The advantages are: o Databases are accessable from many environments (via ODBC, direct C interfaces, JDBC in Java, etc). o Databases generally include highly optimized attribute queries. o Databases are "the way things are going" with much commercial GIS (we see this with SDE, MapInfo`s heavy movement to Oracle, and so on). Further, I would like to see the database utilize OpenGIS standards, perhaps holding the geometry data in OGC Well Known Binary, and keeping projections information in auxilary tables in OGC Well Known Text format. I would like to invite individuals interested in the concept of an Open Source Vector Database (OSVecDB) to visit: http://gdal.velocet.ca/projects/osvecdb/index.html and join the newly formed mailing list to discuss the possibility. Mail to: majordomo at remotesensing.org Put the following in the body of your message: subscribe osvecdb I am particularly interested in getting at least one representative of any project that might like to integrate with such a database, and also any one with experience with geospatial databases to join. I think the time is ripe for open standards and open source to come together to foster interoperability of geospatial data!
