Subject: GeOxygene is an open framework for the development of interoperable applications based on geographic databases and their deployment over the Internet

GeOxygene aims at providing an open framework compliant with OGC/ISO specifications for the development and deployment of geographic (GIS) applications. It is a open source contribution of the COGIT laboratory (http://recherche.ign.fr/cogit) at the IGN (Institut Géographique National, http://www.ign.fr), the French National Mapping Agency. It is released under the terms of the LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License) license.

GeOxygene is based on Java and open source technologies and provides users with an extensible object data model (geographic features, geometry, topology and metadata) compliant with OGC (http://www.opengeospatial.org) specifications and ISO (http://www.isotc211.org) standards in the geographic information domain. The support of the Java interfaces developped by the open source GeoAPI project (http://geoapi.sourceforge.net) is planned in a near future.

Data are stored in a relational DBMS (RDBMS) to ensure a rapid and reliable access to the system but users do not have to worry about any SQL statements: they model their applications in UML and code in Java. Mapping between object and relational environments is performed with open source software. At present, OJB (http://db.apache.org/ojb) is supported and the mapping files for the storage of geographic information in Oracle or PostGIS are provided to users.
