| ============================================= |
| Welcome to Apache SIS <http://sis.apache.org> |
| ============================================= |
| |
| SIS is a free software, Java language library for developing geospatial |
| applications. The library can be used for desktop or server applications. |
| SIS is an implementation of GeoAPI 3.0 interfaces. SIS provides data structures |
| for geographic data and associated metadata along with methods to manipulate |
| those data structures. The SIS metadata module forms the base of the library |
| and enables the creation of metadata objects which comply with the ISO 19115 |
| metadata model and which can be read from or written to ISO 19139 compliant |
| XML documents. The SIS referencing module will enable the construction of |
| geodetic data structures for geospatial referencing based on the ISO 19111 |
| model such as axis, projection and coordinate reference system definitions, |
| along with the associated operations which enable the mathematical conversion |
| of coordinates between different systems of reference. The SIS storage modules |
| will provide a common approach to the reading and writing of grid coverages |
| applicable to simple imagery as to many dimensional data structures. |
| |
| SIS is a project of the Apache Software Foundation <http://www.apache.org/>. |
