[Freegis-list] Free Simple Featurers library

[Markus Mueller]

Hi freegis listmembers

we, the EXSE project (http://www.giub.uni-bonn.de/exse/) are developing
an OpenGIS ( http://www.opengis.org ) related Simple Features for Java
library. We already implemented a Shapefile converter for it and are
currently working on a Raster data component and a Java framework for
Internet GIS. Some of this stuff is already freely available (under
LGPL) and can be found (together with furhter project information) at:
http://katla.giub.uni-bonn.de/sfjava/
Our Simple Features implementation is not based on an actual OpenGIS
specification because there doesn't exist one for Java Simple Features
so far! But we hope to stimulate with our project and the free
availability of our code that there will be one in the future. If there
is anybody out there interested in cooperating with us, please let me
know. 


cheers

Markus
