The IDABC Monthly Open Source News Service -- 28 September 2007
DIVA-GIS is a free computer program for mapping and for analyzing spatial data. It is particularly useful for analyzing the distribution of organisms to elucidate geographic and ecological patterns. It is aimed at persons who cannot afford generic commercial geographic information system (GIS) software, or do not have the time to learn how
to use these, and for anyone else who wants a GIS tailor-made to analyze biological distributions. DIVA-GIS supports vector (point, line, polygon) and image and grid data types. DIVA-GIS can help improve data quality by finding the coordinates of localities using gazetteers, and by checking existing coordinates using overlays (spatial queries)
of the collection sites and administrative boundary databases. Distribution maps can then be made. Analytical functions in DIVA-GIS include mapping of richness and diversity (including based on molecular marker (DNA) data; mapping the distribution of specific traits; identification of areas with complementary diversity; and analysis of
spatial autocorrelation. DIVA-GIS can also extract climate data for all locations on land. Ecological niche modeling can be carried out using the BIOCLIM and DOMAIN algorithms
A Practical Look at MapWindow GIS (GIS 102)
<http://gis.coaps.fsu.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=3>
*MapWindow* is a "Programmable Geographic Information System" that
supports manipulation, analysis, and viewing of geospatial data and
associated attribute data in several standard GIS data formats.
*MapWindow* was developed to address the need for a GIS programming tool
that could be used in engineering research and project software, without
requiring end users to purchase a complete GIS system, or become GIS
experts.
For example, a researcher or company may want to deploy a tool that lets
users build and interact with maps of GPS data overlaid on USGS quad
maps. One approach is to build the tool as an extension to a popular GIS
software, and then require users to purchase that software to run the
extension. Alternatively, the company could use *MapWindow* as a
platform and build a specialized application that does the needed
function and then give it or sell it directly to end user with no need
for third party software purchases.
A Practical Look At Quantum GIS (GIS 103)
<http://gis.coaps.fsu.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=4>
*Quantum GIS* (*QGIS*) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic
Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows.
*QGIS* supports vector, raster, and database formats. *QGIS* is licensed
under the GNU General Public License. QGIS lets you browse and create
map data on your computer. It supports many common spatial data formats
(e.g. ESRI ShapeFile, geotiff). *QGIS *supports plugins to do things
like display tracks from your GPS. *QGIS* is Open Source software and
its free of cost.
A Practical Look At uDig (GIS 104)
<http://gis.coaps.fsu.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=5>
The *User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS* (*uDig*) is both a GeoSpatial
application and a platform through which developers can create new,
derived applications. *uDig* is a core element in an internet aware
Geographic Information System. *uDig* has been developed with a strong
emphasis on supporting the public standards being developed by the Open
Geospatial Consortium^ <http://www.opengis.org/>, and with a special
focus on the Web Map Server and Web Feature Server standards
A Practical Look At BASIN4 (GIS 105)
<http://gis.coaps.fsu.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=6>
*BASINS* is a multi-purpose environmental analysis system that
integrates a geographical information system (GIS), national watershed
data, and state-of-the-art environmental assessment and modeling tools
into one convenient package.
A Practical Look At AccuGlobe 2007 (GIS 202)
<http://gis.coaps.fsu.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=13>
AccuGlobe® Desktop 2007, a standardized platform for delivering
solutions to the global GIS community, offers even more of what you
demand in a desktop GIS application. Combining the signature
user-friendly design with significantly increased functionality,
AccuGlobe Desktop 2007 gives greater freedom in analyzing spatial data.
In addition to functioning as the core engine behind many of the
advanced spatial software products, AccuGlobe Desktop 2007 is made
available as a free download for the global GIS community.

http://opensourcegis.org
This effort represents an attempt to build a complete index of Open
Source / Free GIS related software projects. The effort has some way to
go, especially for projects in languages other than English. The
definition of GIS has been kept loose to encompass a broad range of
projects which deal with spatial data.
If you know of other sites that should be listed please tell me about
them. More importantly if I have made any errors in characterizing a
project, let me know: bglewis<at>gmail.com.
This effort stands on the sturdy shoulders of other projects, most
notably OSRS <http://remotesensing.org> , FreeGIS.org
<http://freegis.org>, Metalab Linux Archive
<http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/>, and Fresh Meat.net
<http://freshmeat.net>.
Descriptive text gathered from the project site is in quotes. Almost all
of these projects fit the definition of Open Source Software as defined
by the Open Source Initiative <http://opensource.org>, and most of them
fit the stricter definition of Free Software as defined by the Free
Software Foundation <http://www.fsf.org/>.
After many great years working for ATS, Inc. <http://www.atsincorp.com>,
I have taken a position with Harvard's Center for Geographic Analysis
<http://gis.harvard.edu>.
