DataVision DataVision is an Open Source reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports. Reports can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. They may be run, viewed, and printed from the application or exported as HTML, XML, PDF, LaTeX2e, DocBook, or tab- or comma-delimited text files. The output files produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can in turn be used to produce PDF, text, HTML, PostScript, and more.

WMS Cookbook This page provides information and hints about how to implement an OGC Web Map Server. (Eventually, this will become a chapter in a series of cookbook descriptions). Using a WMS, you can provide your spatial information in the form of a map or series of maps that can be accessed in a useful way by others. In particular, if you implement the OpenGIS® Web Map Server Interfaces Specification the maps your server produces will be properly georeferenced. That means that each pixel in your map will correspond to a location on the Earth and that the mapping of pixels to ground coordinates and back is based on a known function. In other words, your maps can be combined with other maps without having to have been produced at the same time by the same server or software.

Deegree Home Page Deegree is a Java framework for geospatially-enabled solutions. It is based on common GI standards and allows building applications with spatially referenced content.
Deegree components can be used to either develop a standalone desktop mapping solution to be locally installed on a user's machine, or to set up a highly distributed and service-based infrastructure.

PostGIS / PostgreSQL PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL" and will be submitted for compliance testing at version 1.0.

the GeoServer Project :: an Internet gateway for geodata The GeoServer project is a Java (J2EE) implementation of the OpenGIS Consortium's Web Feature Server specification. It is free software, available under the GPL 2.0 license. Users who would like to access their geographic data over the Internet using flexible, industry-approved standards should take a look at GeoServer or one of the existing commercial Web Feature Servers. If you are interested in a deeper examination of the importance of the GeoServer Project, you should read our FAQ, where we have more descriptive explanations targeted at users, developers, and communists.
