SIS Wiki

Apache Spatial Information System (SIS) is a top level project at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). The goals of the project are to provide software allowing users to easily read, convert between, and visualize and analyze spatial data, e.g., GeoRSS, GeoJSON, and other formats. The software will provide APIs, services, and spatial data structures of use to the broader community.

Roadmap

• March 18, 2013: SIS 0.3 close to feature-complete. Starting tests and filling holes.
• April 8, 2013: SIS 0.3 release.
• April 8, 2013: beginning the port of sis-referencing module.
• July 2013: SIS 0.4 release with referencing services.

The "success metric" informing us when SIS 0.3 is ready for a release will be to parse a relatively large ISO 19139 compliant XML document, edit some metadata values, then write back the XML document with minimal information lost. Information lost tolerated for SIS 0.3 release are:

• Coordinate Reference Systems (will need the sis-referencing module).
• Temporal information (also related to sis-referencing module).
• Geometries (will need the sis-geometry module).
• XML comments.

For everything else, information lost should be either considered as a bug, or be added to the above list.
