GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. Designed for interoperability, it publishes data from any major spatial data source using open standards: WMS, WFS, WCS, WPS and REST

GeoTools is an open source (LGPL) Java code library which provides standards compliant methods for the manipulation of geospatial data. GeoTools is an Open Source Geospatial Foundation project. The GeoTools library data structures are based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications.

GpsPrune is a java application to view and manage coordinate data, eg from GPS units. With it you can load a variety of text and Xml formats, view the data (in 2d and 3d), edit and convert the data, correlate photos and audio, create charts and more.

QMapControl is a Qt widget which enables your applications to use map data from different sources on desktop or mobiles. Maps can be enriched by custom objects which will be drawn into the map.

Ycad is a library of CAD functions in Java. Currently only DXF is supported for reading, viewing and writing. The DXF drawing may be rendered to a Graphics object for printing or imaging.

GeoKettle is a powerful, metadata-driven spatial ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) tool dedicated to the integration of different data sources for building and updating geospatial databases, data warehouses and services.

The Wildfire Management Tool (WMT) predicts the potential fire behavior of a wildland fire. WMT incorporates a 3D terrain viewer, the tenets of the Campbell Prediction System (CPS) and the Rothermel fire spread equations to depict fire behavior. WMT is used to adjust tactics & strategies to ensure the safety of firefighters and the effective use of firefighting resources. Requires Java 8 (included) - http://www.java.com/download

Talend Spatial Module (aka Spatial Data Integrator or SDI) is an ETL tool for geospatial. Based on Talend Open Studio, input, output and transform geocomponents are available. IO components read/write GIS formats(eg.PostGIS, GeoRSS). Transformers all

EcoMod is an OpenGL application for 3D modelling, simulation and visualization of ecosystems. Trees are modelled and used within simulation to render the emerging natural phenomena of spontaneous afforestation process. Multidisciplinary.

This project provides and open source implementation of HELD and related specifications. A HELD client and Location Information Server are included.

GeOxygene aims at providing an open framework which implements OGC/ISO specifications for the development and deployment of geographic (GIS) applications. It is a open source contribution of the COGIT lab. at the IGN (the French National Mapping Agency).

geoStarsLib has functions for dealing with many geodesy-based problems found in positioning, pointing, and surveying situations. It is useful to determine absolute position on the earth, pointing vectors, coordinate transformations, and other functions.

A web-based maintenance management system for water and wastewater networks. Allows to store customer complaints and issue workorder sheets. Rather than using street names, maps and landmarks are used for navigation.

This PHP script allows You to plot bubble charts on Google Earth. Have Your data in a query, view, table with fields: folder, name, latitude, longitude, radius, color, additional data. Set the DB parameters in the config file, and enjoy the results.

Spatial Knowledge Base is a web based application for storing and searching of archaeological sites information. The software was written to improve access to cultural heritage information though the use of digital archiving, search technology, and GIS.

ThanDxflib is a library, written in Fortran 77, which makes the creation of .dxf drawings easy. The dxf files may be read by any CAD program.

The aim of this project is to translate the geostatistical BMELib Matlab Toolbox (http://www.unc.edu/depts/case/BMELIB/) into Python.

2D, 3D object indexes (Quadtree, Octree, Quadtree with object radius indexation), fast geometry find functions, template classes with embedded 2D, 3D indexation and fast search features.

EDAS2 is a web-based environmental quality data management and decision support framework

FREMCAD stands for Free Emergency Computer Assisted Dispatch. It manage 911 calls, ambulances and has many other features offered as extensions.

geolocate is a front-end java program that works with google maps to provide dynamic maps to users. Combined with the flexibility of XML and the power of javascript, users can see various relationships on their map to draw conclusions.

This object-oriented python module converts 3D VRML models into Collada and integrates it in Google Earth (GE) through the Keyhole Markup Language (KML). It enables the visualisation of large scale aerial/satellite images in the Geo Browser.

InterMap is an Internet mapping application that allows the user to combine interactive maps from distributed Internet Map Servers in a browser. InterMap supports OpenGIS WMS and ESRI-ArcIMS and can be fully integrated with the GeoNetwork Metadata portal

A library written in Java to manipulate GPX files. Also contained is a GUI program to visualize GPX files and the effects of manipulating them.

JetSteam-3D is 3D GIS technology developed by Alchemedia. that allows the streaming of image,DEM,X3D,and WFS data to an applet. The javascript enabled applet allows the creation of 3D enabled WebGIS applications using typical AJAX techniques.
