[Freegis-list] first free (GPLed) EDBS reader now available

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hello everybody,

some of you may remember the EDBS discussion several
weeks ago. No EDBS (that is a GI format mainly used
in Germany for ATKIS) reader was available as Free
Software.

Our discussion and the following contacts lead
to the release of Java source codes for handling
EDBS: EDBSjavaReader 1.0.0.

Thanks go to Markus Neteler for the intial contact
and of course to the authors Stephan Falke and
Carsten Kleiner (both from computer science
department at University of Hannover).
(360 KByte)

This package is unmaintained and looking for
Currently you will need Java (of course) and
Oracle. It should be possible to substitute
Oracle by other (free) databases with some work.

Oh and: all the documentation is in German.
Please leave a note if anyone picks up the code
and does some maintenance (or just a web site, ...).

Cheers

        Jan
