Currently, PAGC is a command line program that takes a postal address database and determines the long/lat of the address in it by using a road network file (in ESRI Shapefile format) that has street address range information (such as US TIGER/Line and Canadian RNF files). You can find out more about PAGC (and obtain the program and documentation on how to use it) by going to the project's web site at http://www.pagcgeo.org.

Strictly speaking, as a visualization environment, the VTP is not a full GIS (it does create/edit/view, but not analysis). For those who haven't heard of it, the VTP is both an informative website (http://vterrain.org/) and a suite of cross-platform open-source software for realtime 3D terrain visualization. You can get the software just by sending an email as described on http://vterrain.org/Request/ - in fact we'll even mail you a free CDROM if you live somewhere like a developing country without broadband. ----- From: Ben Discoe Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 10:40 PM To: vtp at yahoogroups.com Subject: [vtp] VTP release 061205 I have uploaded a new VTP release. Some highlights: Enviro: Click-to-add labeled point features on terrain. Choice of font for point feature labels. Scenarios can now control both Structure and Abstract layers. Create (point) and remove Abstract layers at runtime. Support for Image layers (simple, single georeferenced overlay textures). Support for showing polygon Abstract layers as a texture overlay. Toggle visibility of Image and Abstract Overlay layers. Allow Abstract layers that lack a DBF file. Allow "loop" links in road networks. Mousewheel zoom in/out in Earth View. Reduced toolbar clutter by hiding unused buttons. Fixed draping of linear structures on culture with Tileset terrain. Improved behavior of sloped linear features (berms) on uneven terrain. VTBuilder: Export of building footprints to SHP. All: Support polylines (paths) with Distance Tool. Support polylines (paths) with Profile Tool. Linear materials have been merged into the Building materials. You will want to grab the latest materials.xml (save to your Data/Culture folder) if you use linear structures: http://vterrain.org/dist/materials.xml The Enviro documentation (http://vterrain.org/Doc/Enviro/) has been expanded for the new features.

The current entries are Grid: http://freegis.org/database/viewobj?obj=799 libral: http://freegis.org/database/viewobj?obj=776 I'm not sure if there aren't others. These should be deleted and a new one created. The new name would be Geoinformatica. I know, the name is not very humble, but it's not used by anyone/anything to my knowledge and its a catchy name. I use "Geoinformatica" to refer to a system, which builds on GEOS, Proj4, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, GDAL/OGR, Perl, Geo-GDAL module, GTK+, Gtk2-Perl modules, libral, Geo-Raster and Geo-Vector modules, and Gtk2-Ex-Geo modules. It is important to note that only 3 last of the 13 are software developed mainly by me, so I'm not in fact trying to claim complete ownership on that name. I use "Geoinformatica" also to refer to a binary build that I've put together for Windows (th ecurrent one contains GDAL/OGR, Perl, Gtk2-Perl modules and then my stuff, for other things there are easily usable installation packages). This whole stack is of course easier to build and use on a Linux. The stack is somewhat similar to OpenEV but as OpenEV depends on Python, this stack depends on Perl. The central page for Geoinformatica is now: http://geoinformatics.tkk.fi/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeoinformaticaSoftware which is very short page mainly with links to the pieces and documentation. And, BTW, I'd be happy to get more developers for this system, for libral, and for the Perl module projects of mine.

This release is solely for stability purposes and adds no new features. Besides bug fixes it also includes a number of new message translations, updates for the help pages, and will better handle errors caused by missing or incorrectly installed support software. It also introduces a new 3D raster module which was left out of the last release due to time constraints. The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for spatial modeling, visualization of both raster and vector data, geospatial data management and analysis, processing of satellite and aerial imagery, and production of sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS combines powerful raster, vector, and geospatial processing engines into a single integrated software package. The GRASS GIS project is developed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (the GPL) by volunteers the world over. GRASS differs from many other GIS software packages used in the professional world in that it is developed and distributed by users for users, mostly on a volunteer basis, in the open, and is given away for free. Emphasis is placed on interoperability and unlimited access to data as well as on software flexibility and evolution rate. The source code is freely available allowing for immediate customization, examination of the underlying algorithms, addition of new features, and fast bug fixing. GRASS is currently used around the world in academic and commercial settings as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

The reference is always the 0,0 point at the crossing of the two axis which does not have an absolute coordinate representation. So for instance, a DWG file about Europe and one about America will NOT share a common absolute coordinate system but will simply reference this 0,0 point and the shapes will likely overlap. To load the data in postgis you will have to extract the DWG/DXF data into some intermediate form (ie shape files, or grass data) and then georeference it which will probably mean some sort of translation and transformation. After that you can use postigs commands to load shapefiles or grass layers into postigs. Usually the tricky point is getting the data out of DWG/DXF into some open format.

The big push has been the transition of GeoServer's architecture to a more modular, programmer friendly environment based on Spring (http://springframework.org). And from the user perspective there are several improvements for scalability and stability, along with many little fixes so that everything 'just works'. GeoServer is an open source, standards-based server of geospatial information, connecting spatial databases and files to the variety of clients that make up the 'geospatial web', and allowing user contributed editing through standard web-based interfaces. GeoServer can be downloaded at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Latest And there is now a demo site of GeoServer at http://sigma.openplans.org, and we've just started a blog at http://blog.geoserver.org for people to follow GeoServer without having to dive in to the full traffic of the mailing lists In addition to some improved memory management for much better scalability, there is also new support for on the fly reprojection with KML output, allowing one to serve data from most any spatial projection in to Google Earth with no additional configuration. KML has some improvements in styling as well, there is a new German translation of the web admin tool, and the embedded Jetty server has been upgraded to the latest version. Outputting Shapefiles and gzipped GML, PDFs and SVG have also been much improved, allowing users to get at the raw data behind the map in the format they prefer. The full changelog is at: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?requestId=12054 From the developer side, just as Ruby on Rails was extracted from Basecamp, so too is the GeoServer team starting down the path of turning the core architecture of GeoServer to be used as a generic framework, but in this case for spatial applications. Potential services like geocoding, web processing, routing and more will be able to leverage the same data configuration and extensive GeoTools toolkit that GeoServer uses. Developers will be able to write new plug-ins and distribute them independently of GeoServer, and users will have much more control over what to include in their distribution of GeoServer. This will be a continuing evolution, but already a Web Coverage Service is available in its first beta (on 1.5.x at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Experimental), written as a module on top of the core architecture. This represents a substantial investment in GeoServer's future, and we welcome all developers and users to join us. The community already has WFS 1.1 support near completion, as well as a catalog server in the works. There is also some exciting experimentation with versioning and wiki-like functionality with the editing of maps through the transactional WFS. About GeoServer *************** GeoServer is an Open Source server that connects your information to the geospatial web. Its focus is ease of use and support for standards, including serving as WFS 1.0 Reference Implementation (and soon to be 1.1 as well). The goal is to serve as 'glue' for the geospatial web, connecting from legacy databases and formats to many diverse clients. GeoServer includes easy to use installers, web administration tools, and demos to get you going quickly. GeoServer's homepage is http://geoserver.org, and more information on features can be found at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Features The release can be downloaded at: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Latest The GeoServer Project is completely open source, in license and development process, built by a diverse community of contributors (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Contributors), whom you are encouraged to join. GeoServer is built on GeoTools, a project of the Open Source GeoSpatial Foundation http://osgeo.org About The Open Planning Project (TOPP) ************************************* http://topp.openplans.org TOPP's mission is to build technology to enhance the role of the citizen in democratic society. We believe that a more informed and empowered populace will effect real change. TOPP draws inspiration from the ideas, processes and success of the open source software movement. To that end our tools enhance government transparency and provide opportunity for citizen participation in shaping society. TOPP provides funding and leadership for the development of GeoServer, to help create a more open, interoperable infrastructure of geographic information. TOPP's interest in this is urban planning, so that geographic data is more available and open to enable citizen involvement through the use of simulations and modeling that can be built on top of the base data. But GeoServer is run in a true open source fashion, able to meet a variety of needs, and developed by a number of organizations. TOPP supports a diverse community of commercial providers, and does take on work related to GeoServer when related to its core mission. Any 'profit' made from providing services on GeoServer is re-invested back in to the core, building a sustainable open source project that many can use and improve for their needs. -- Chris Holmes The Open Planning Project http://topp.openplans.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Isn't Spring licensed under Apache 2.0 and GeoServer under GNU GPL? Note, that these two are incompatible. Doesn't this raise some trouble? Did I overlook something?
