Looks pretty good, Martin. I made a couple changes.
Progress in testing integrity of geoscience software, and
implementation in Apache SIS
The Geospatial integrity of geoscience software (GIGS) guidances is a
set of tests developed
by the authors of the well-known EPSG database. From their web site:
GIGS is a process developed in response to significant concern and
user experiences
of violations of geospatial integrity of data when using
geoscience software, resulting
in incorrect results, inconsistent understanding and misleading
information for the user
community.
This talk will cover the progress over the last 2 years in the
implementation of GIGS tests
in the GeoAPI conformance test suites. GeoAPI Conformance is a suite
of JUnit tests that any
GeoAPI implementation can leverage. The relationship with CITE tests
will be briefly explained and the
execution of GIGS tests will be demonstrated on Proj.4, the UCAR
NetCDF library and Apache SIS.
The Apache Spatial Information System (SIS) is a top level project at
the Apache Software Foundation
(ASF). The goals of Apache SIS are to provide an ALv2 licensed Java
toolkit and API that developers
can leverage to build spatial information systems. This includes the
OGC/ISO services commonly found
in similar toolkits (metadata, referencing, queries, etc.) with
particular attention given to the
needs of geoscience applications and data integrity.
The SIS project has undergone successful incubation at the ASF in fall
2012. The project is both
relatively young, and in the process of inheriting a relatively large
code base from other projects.
This situation gives to users an opportunity to influence the SIS
design in an early stage and
experiment now what may come later.
