[Freegis-list] TerraLib and TerraView - Open Source GIS software for Linux

[Gilberto Camara]

Dear FreeGIS list members

I am pleased to announce the
availablity of TerraLib, an open-source
GIS library. 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
