Hello all
Some of our peoples are talking about SIS around us, but we are facing
the problem that a Google search on "Apache SIS" still give the old
incubator page [1]. Does anyone known how to remove that page?
For now, it seems to me that our most up-to-date page is the web site
generated by Maven [2]. Is there an easy way to get
http://sis.apache.org/ to point to that page until the main web site is
ready?
On the home Maven page, the current description is a little bit short.
Would the following description be okay?
Apache 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.
