If you have access to ArcInfo 8.x, then you can export the various layers as shapefiles...there tends to be much more support for converting things too and from shapefile. from the FreeGIS web page you can also find "mdb2shapefile", which also claims to support geodatabase to shapefile conversion but I haven't used it. Also, as you can find in the freegis archive: Frank Warmerdam warmerdam at pobox.com Fri, 17 Aug 2001 14:59:17 -0400 "Note that FME from Safe Software includes support for Geodatabase, but of course that's not free."

GRASS provides a HTML driver which allows you to generate HTML image maps directly from vector files. Example: http://grass.itc.it/grass.mirrors.html Drawback is that you have to use GRASS :-) Markus From jonathan at intevation.de Mon Mar 17 12:45:55 2003 From: jonathan at intevation.de (Jonathan Coles) Date: 17 Mar 2003 12:45:55 +0100 Subject: [Freegis-list] Thuban v0.2 Released Message-ID: <1047901554.916.86.camel@reisen> Hi all, Thuban 0.2.0 is now available from the usual place: http://thuban.intevation.org/download.html Overview of the changes since 0.1.3: - The most striking new feature is classifications. A classification is a set of groups that determine how a layer is drawn on the map. The groups are based on the fields of the associated data table. For example, with the iceland_sample.thuban file you can group roads by their length so that all the roads that are 0-0.2 km are red, 0.2-0.4 km are green, 0.4-0.6 km are blue, and so on. Or, you can group the roads into types so that all roads of type 1 are red, all roads of type 2 are green, and so on. This is what is done in the iceland_sample_class.thuban file. Classification Screenshots: http://thuban.intevation.org/screenshots.html Version 0.2.0 is backward compatible with previous releases: it can read and write old files. - Python 2.2 and wxWindows 2.4 are from now on the reference. Thuban will be compatible with these two dependencies for quite some time. - As usual: Various bug fixes, see ChangeLog and Bug Tracker for details.

Any suggestions are welcome. Tools comparable to ArcView are not yet fully developed as Free Software. However, there are some tools heading this way. You may look here: http://freegis.org/browse.en.html?category=app&app=interactive_viewing OpenMap is a Java tool and probably the most advanced in terms of features. Thuban is under heavy development and is expected to come up with several new features until this autuumn. But also have a look at the other tools.

The TerraLib project aims to develop a complete GIS environment for object-relational databases, where all data (vector and raster) is archived in a spatially-enabled DBMS. The data archival and retrieval modules are complemented by data manipulation functions and visualisation facilities. TerraLib's kernel is developed by INPE, Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, which have been developing GIS and Image Processing software for more than 20 years. The INPE team has developed SPRING, an open access GIS and IP software. TerraLib is complemented by TerraView, a visualisation package similiar to ArcView, which is also open source software. For more information on TerraLib, please visit http://www.terralib.org.

To achieve this, many aspects have to be considered of which I want to outline two at this occasion: - Add screenshots on the homepage (in case your tool has a GUI). People like to get a visual impression on what they will get when going to download and install a software. Note: Looking at screenshots takes a few seconds while download and installation takes considerably more time. - Offer anonymous download. With offering Free Software, a mandatory registration for download will decrease the number of try-outs. People are reluctant either to spend additional time or to give away personal details in order to give the software a try. The arguments that second mandatory registration I've heard so far are (a) to track users and send them update information and (b) that people registering express a 'real' interest rather than a quick try-out-and-drop-after-incomplete-evaluation. Ad (a): If people are interested in a software or project, they will subscribe to corresponding mailing list on their own. You will have less people on such a list, but more who are really interested. Ad (b): You will loose those reluctant to spend additional time or relucatant to provide personal data who might otherways come to the conclusion that they like your project. In case your project gets very popular, sooner or later copies will be available from other sites anyway.

I downloaded the files and run the TerraView. I wish it has English interface too ;-) I wish to make a little suggestion. Please try to keep the library itself, TerraLib, in Standard C++ and only the user interface stuff in Qt. The Qt license on Windows is not that interesting as compared to the Linux version, so we might wish to port to MFC/WTL/ATL where necessary for the Windows version. Again, thanks for the great work.

These two software products seem to be different. One is a library and the website clearly states that it is GNU LGPL. (So we added it to FreeGIS.) The other one TerraView is a geodata viewer. No licensing statement is made for TerraView on the website so far.

Message-ID: Hello list At the moment I am working on a Microsoft Access Database that is inteded to store metadata for all kinds of geographic data (digital, paper, tables, ...). The target group are small planning offices that don't want to store their metadata in textfiles any more. The product will be a *.mdb file with tables, queries, guis(forms) and vba code. What I want is to distribute the product and enable everybody to use it for their needs, make changes, copy and redistribute it. So, I would like to distribute it under the terms of the GPL. Is this possible? Some more detailed questions: 1. GPL paragraph 2a): "You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change." Is it sufficient to provide a table where the history is stored (e.g. date of change, changed by, description, ...) Or do I need to set up a cvs versioning (which isn't very handy for binary mdb files. 2. GPL paragraph 2: "These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works." Is an *.mdb file an "independent and separate work" and therefore can be distributed under the terms of the GPL? To use it, i have to use MS Access. So it isn't independent and separate, is it? 3. GPL paragraph 3a): "Accompany it [the Program] with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code" What is the source code? Is it the *.mdb file? Because, everybody who has this file (and an MS Access licence), can read and change it. It can be copied and distributed. GPL: "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it."

If MS Access allows you to take copyright on *.mdb files, which AFAIK it does, your can place your code under the GNU GPL, because you can consider MS Access the "operating" system for your application (see GNU GPL Section 3 exception.) > 3.

I don't know much about *.mdb files, but your description would fit for "source" code. If somebody else would write a Free Software which is similiar to MS Access and could interpret *.mdb files they probably could excute your application. One thing to consider on the other hand is: Why depend on the proprietary ms access at all? Using mysql and Python on Windows could be an alternative.

Depending on your actual data other options should exist as well leading up to issueing a full GIS like GRASS. You will have a broader range of options if you include GNU/Linux into consideration.

To be precise Mr. Klaus Knoppers' CD is based on Debian GNU/Linux and the kudzu hardware detection. He added additional scripts and used a compressed files system (cloop) to create the Knoppix-CD. As his version still contain proprietory software, we can only recommend to remove the proprietory software if you want to remaster your own version of Knoppix.
