  • Library Coded in C (or C wrapper to C++)
  • Architected and designed for performance
  • Abstracted storage to allow for use of data from various sources e.g. shapefiles, RDBMS, others


Relevant Existing Open Source Technologies


Target Licensing

  • Preference for a liberal license to encourage adoption by maximum number of technologies both proprietary and open source
