TerraLib: Technology in Support of GIS Innovation

Year: 2000

Type: article

Abstract: . This work describes the development of a new GIS library (called TerraLib), that is aimed at providing a rich and powerful environment for the development of GIScience research. The motivation for this proposal is the current lack of either public or commercial GIS libraries that cater for the diversity of GIS data and algorithms, especially when viewed upon the latest advances in geographical information science. TerraLib is open source software, allowing a collaborative environment and its use for the development of multiple GIS tools.
