2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
Integrate PROJ, a cartographic projection filter and library,
into OpenSolaris and Solaris.
3. Business Summary
3.1. Problem Area:
We are providing PROJ primarily as support library for
PostGIS, the spatial data extension to the PostgreSQL
RDBMS. PROJ provides projection support for PostGIS.
The integration is a "best-effort" job, based on
3rd party open source code.
3.2. Market/Requester:
PostGIS has been requested for inclusion as part of the
Database strategy.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
PROJ is a package that provide functions and a library for
forward and inverse transformation between different
cartographic projections. It is widely used by open source
GIS applications.
