[Roadster] White Paper : the state of Open-Source GIS

[Stéphane LOEUILLET]

hello,

a really interesting read to know what already exists in the field :
http://www.refractions.net/white_papers/oss_briefing/2005-02-OSS-Briefing.pdf

This version is from 2005/02/02 (latest edition)

=> reading this, it seems obvious that the solution should be to use 
gdal library for all data-import. (not to have to make a special driver 
for each format on earth)

Another interesting page on the same site :

That's all folks,

bye
