| </header> |
| <p> |
| The GeoAPI project consists of a standardized part (<code>geoapi</code>) |
| and an experimental part (<code>geoapi-pending</code>). |
| As these two parts are mutually exclusive, users must take care not to mix them in the same project. |
| This separation is guaranteed for all projects that depend only on the Maven central repository |
| (including the final versions of Apache <abbr>SIS</abbr>), |
| as the <code>geoapi-pending</code> module is never deployed on this central repository. |
| By contrast, certain <abbr>SIS</abbr> development branches may depend on <code>geoapi-pending</code>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| GeoAPI modules are: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><p> |
| <b><code>geoapi</code></b> — includes interfaces covered by the |
| <a href="https://www.ogc.org/standards/geoapi">GeoAPI standard of the <abbr>OGC</abbr></a>. |
| The final versions of Apache <abbr>SIS</abbr> depend on this module. |
| </p></li> |
| <li><p> |
| <b><code>geoapi-pending</code></b> — contains a |
| <em>copy</em> of all interfaces in the <code>geoapi</code> module |
| (not a dependence) with additions that have not yet been approved as an <abbr>OGC</abbr> standard. |
| Some additions appear in interfaces normally defined by the <code>geoapi</code> module, hence the need to copy them. |
| Apache <abbr>SIS</abbr>’s development branches <code>JDK8</code> and <code>JDK9</code> depend on this module, |
| but this dependence becomes a dependence on the <code>geoapi</code> standard module when the branches are merged to the trunk. |
| </p></li> |
| <li><p> |
| <b><code>geoapi-conformance</code></b> — includes a JUnit test suite that developers may use to test their implementations. |
| </p></li> |
| <li><p> |
| <b><code>geoapi-examples</code></b> — includes examples of relatively simple implementations. |
| These examples are placed in the public domain in order to encourage users to copy and adapt them to their needs if |
| Apache <abbr>SIS</abbr> services are unsuitable. |
| </p></li> |
| <li><p> |
| <b><code>geoapi-proj4</code></b> — contains a partial implementation of <code>org.opengis.referencing</code> |
| packages as adaptors based on the C/C++ Proj.4 library. |
| This module may be used as an alternative to the <code>sis-referencing</code> module for certain functions. |
| </p></li> |
| <li><p> |
| <b><code>geoapi-netcdf</code></b> — contains a partial implementation of <code>org.opengis.referencing</code> |
| and <code>org.opengis.coverage</code> packages as adaptors based on the <abbr>UCAR</abbr> <abbr>netCDF</abbr> library. |
| The series of tests in this module was developed in such a way as to be reusable for other projects. |
| Apache <abbr>SIS</abbr> uses them to test its own <code>sis-netcdf</code> module. |
| </p></li> |
| <li><p> |
| <b><code>geoapi-openoffice</code></b> — contains an add-in for the OpenOffice.org office suite. |
| Note: Apache <abbr>SIS</abbr> provides its own <i>add-in</i> in the <code>sis-openoffice</code> module. |
| </p></li> |
| </ul> |
