OSGEO Approves Geomajas as Incubation Project

Ghent, Belgium – March 12, 2010 – The international team of expert GIS developers are proud to announce that Geomajas, the state-of-the-art open-source software to develop web-based GIS applications, has been accepted as an incubation project by OSGeo. Pieter De Graef, the Chair of the Geomajas Steering Committee, has been assigned as project representative. 

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open geospatial technologies and data. OSGeo also serves as an outreach and advocacy organization for the open source geospatial community, and provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration.

Geomajas is the open-source GIS software to build web-based GIS applications enabling geographical editing and support for custom-build relation models in the web browser. The software has an open architecture allowing easy sharing, integrating and updating of GIS data on multiple servers while being very scalable.

Geomajas can be used to power a company’s or government spatial data infrastructure. The software empowers developers to build end-to-end GIS solutions integrating the spatial data on the back-end (server-side) whereas the embedded web-mapping technology allows the client-side (via a simple web browser) to deploy interactive and user-friendly GIS applications. All this can be done without having to give up the integrity of the software logic, instead providing powerful possibilities to update and maintain GIS data in the thin-client environment.

The technology has been validated worldwide by industry experts and important global GIS reference projects are being re-engineered using Geomajas.

Geomajas can be downloaded for free via www.geomajas.org.  Also on the website a technology demonstration can be found showing how Geomajas becomes a full desktop application inside your browser.
