Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Wookey <woo...@wookware.org> * Package name : geoapi Version : 3.0.0 Upstream Author : 2003-2011 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. * URL : http://www.geoapi.org * License : geoapi (BSDish) Programming Lang: Java Description : Set of Java interfaces for geospatial applications
geoapi is a set of java bindings provided for geospatial applications by the GeoAPI project. They are neutral, interface-only APIs derived from OGC/ISO Standards. . The interfaces developed by the GeoAPI project include many of the data structures and manipulation methods needed for geographic information system applications. GeoAPI 3.0 defines a core set of interfaces for metadata handling, for geodetic referencing, projection and conversion, and is a standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). . The GeoAPI interfaces closely follow the ISO 19100 series standards: ISO 19115: Metadata, ISO 19111: Referencing by coordinates, ISO 19123: Coverage. GeoAPI provides an interpretation and adaptation of these standards to match the expectations of Java programmers. This is being packaged as it is closely tied to jscience. jscience needs geoapi to build (org.opengis.*) geoapi need javax.measure.utils from jscience to build.
