Building an Environmental Management Information System • Independence: not only one software company can produce updates • No black-boxes. Opportunity to understand the core aspects of the software that is used. While proprietary software in the GIS sector is usually very cost-intensive, free and open source products can save licensing costs.As a result, more and more people in developing nations can benefit from GIS technology.There are many different FOSS programmes which are designed to view, modify and publish geospatial content.The freegis-database (http://www.freegis.org/) lists about 213 packages. Only some examples should be mentioned here: GRASS GIS A very powerful and probably the most complete FOSS-GIS programme is GRASS GIS. GRASS is available for Linux as well as Mac OS/X,Windows and a variety of other unix flavours. http://grass.itc.it Quantum GIS Quantum GIS (or shortly QGIS) is a Desktop GIS, which can be used either as a standalone programme or as a user-friendly interface for GRASS GIS. http://www.qgis.org GvSIG A tool “for handling geographical information. It has a userfriendly interface, is capable to access several (raster and vector) formats. gvSIG is java-based and platform-independent.The programme is available forWindows, OS/X and Linux. http://www.freegis.org/database/viewobj?obj=896 UMN Mapserver Mapserver of the University of Minnesota (UMN) provides internet map services for vector and raster data. It can read most geodata formats and is programmable through Application Programmer interfaces for C, perl, python, php and java. http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ ILWIS ILWIS is a remote sensing and GIS software which integrates image, vector and thematic data in one unique and powerful package on the desktop. ILWIS delivers a wide range of features including import/export, digitizing, editing, analysis and display of data, as well as production of quality maps. In order to create better opportunities for the reuse and deployment of GIS functionality in a wider community, the closed source ILWIS software migrated to 52°North as open source software as of July 1, 2007. http://52north.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=131&Ite mid=155 92
The Toolkit: Key Steps in Building an Environmental Management Information System _____________________________________________________________ Addresses • ESRI ArcGIS, ArcView www.esri.com PC (Windows 2000 and XP only), developed by ESRI in USA, good in vector- and raster-based data analysis, widely used, expensive, basic functions (Arc Map,ArcCatalog,ArcToolbox), relatively expensive extensions (Networkanalyst, 3DAnalysis, etc) • Map Maker - Desktop Mapping: http://www.mapmaker.com/, info@mapmaker.com Map Maker Pro is a low-cost map making and Geographic Information System for Windows.The software is available for free for evaluation for 21 days and for projects in Africa. Extensive tools, data and further links. • MapInfo: http://mapinfo.com This mapping software comes in two packages: MapInfo Professional and the smaller package MapInfo MapX. Free trial versions are available for both packages. • IDRISI: http://www.clarklabs.org/, idrisi@clarku.edu Clark University in USA, PC, raster better than vector-based data, less expensive, used by universities worldwide • ILWIS: http://www.itc.nl/ilwis/default.asp, ilwis@itc.nl Developed by ITC in Netherlands, PC, better in raster-based data than vector-based, specialized in remote sensing data, less expensive • TNT - Microimages: http://www.microimages.com/, info@microimages. com GIS Software for all types of computer platforms (Windows, Linux/ <strong>UN</strong>IX, Macintosh). Reduced Version available as downloadable free product. • Intergraph GIS: www.intergraph.com, services@intergraph.com Intergraph USA,Windows based and designed, good in raster- and vector-based data analysis, relatively expensive, widespread, C/C++ Interface • Leica Geosystems: http://gis.leica-geosystems.com/default.asp Software designed especially for satellite and aerial image analysis in ArcGIS also 3D Analyst available. • ERDAS: http://www.erdas.com Software for remote sensing image processing. • FOSS GIS Software http://www.freegis.org/ For a current overview of probably most of the, please refer to the FreeGIS-Database http://www.freegis.org/ on the internet. 93
