<h2>Apache SIS - Spatial Information System</h2>
<p>Apache SIS is a spatial framework that enables better representation of
coordinates for searching, data clustering, archiving, or any other relevant
spatial needs.</p>
+
+SIS is a free software, Java language library for developing geospatial
applications. The library can be used for desktop or server applications. SIS
is an implementation of GeoAPI 3.0 interfaces.
+
+SIS provides data structures for geographic data and associated metadata along
with methods to manipulate those data structures. The SIS metadata module forms
the base of the library and enables the creation of metadata objects which
comply with the ISO 19115 metadata model and which can be read from or written
to ISO 19139 compliant XML documents. The SIS referencing module will enable
the construction of geodetic data structures for geospatial referencing based
on the ISO 19111 model such as axis, projection and coordinate reference system
definitions, along with the associated operations which enable the mathematical
conversion of coordinates between different systems of reference. The SIS
storage modules will provide a common approach to the reading and writing of
grid coverages applicable to simple imagery as to many dimensional data
structures.
