Glossarium:GIS
Een GIS bestandsformaat is een standaard voor het encoderen van geografische informatie in een bestand. Een GIS is meestal ontwikkeld door geografische instituten (overheden) of GIS-software-ontwikkelaars, zoals het United States Geological Survey (USGS) of het National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). Naast de meest voorkomende datatypes: raster en vector, is er nu ook het rooster (grid) om hoogteverschillen voor te stellen/weer te geven.

Libraries
- [FDO ; API (C++, .Net) between GIS application and sources; for manipulating, defining and analyzing geospatial data.
- GDAL/OGR – Library between GIS application and sources; for reading and writing raster geospatial data formats (GDAL) and simple features vector data (OGR).
- GeoTools – Open source GIS toolkit (Java); to enable the creation of interactive geographic visualization clients.
- GEOS – A C++ port of the Java Topology Suite (JTS), a geometry model.
- MetaCRS – Projections and coordinate system technologies.
- PostGIS – Spatial extensions for the PostgreSQL database, allowing geospatial queries.
Applicaties
- GRASS GIS – GIS for image processing and analysing raster, topological vector and graphic data.
- OSSIM – Libraries and applications used to process imagery, maps, terrain, and vector data.
- Quantum GIS – Desktop GIS for data viewing, editing and analysis. Needs GEOS and SQLite.
- gvSIG – Desktop GIS for data capturing, storing, handling, analysing and deploying. Includes map editing.
The following open source desktop GIS projects are reviewed in Steiniger and Bocher (2008/9)[1]:
- GRASS GIS – Originally developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: a complete GIS.
- gvSIG – Written in Java.
- ILWIS (Integrated Land and Water Information System) – Integrates image, vector and thematic data.
- JUMP GIS / OpenJUMP ((Open) Java Unified Mapping Platform) – The desktop GISs OpenJUMP, SkyJUMP, deeJUMP and Kosmo all emerged from JUMP; see [1].
- MapWindow GIS – Free desktop application and programming component.
- Quantum GIS (QGIS) – Runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X and Windows.
- SAGA GIS (System for Automated Geoscientific Analysis) –- A hybrid GIS software. Has a unique Application Programming Interface (API) and a fast growing set of geoscientific methods, bundled in exchangeable Module Libraries.
- uDig – API and source code (Java) available.
Besides these, there are other open source GIS tools:
- Capaware – A C++ 3D GIS Framework with a multiple plugin architecture for geographic graphical analysis and visualization.
- FalconView – A mapping system created by the Georgia Tech Research Institute for the Windows family of operating systems. A free, open source version is available.
- Kalypso – Uses Java and GML3. Focuses mainly on numerical simulations in water management.
- TerraView – Handles vector and raster data stored in a relational or geo-relational database, i.e. a frontend for TerraLib.
- Whitebox GAT – Transparent GIS software.
