The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a computer software library for reading and writing raster and vector geospatial data formats (e.g. shapefile), and is released under the permissive X/MIT style free software license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.
Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) are an open-source collection of computer software tools for processing and displaying xy and xyz datasets, including rasterization, filtering and other image processing operations, and various kinds of map projections.
The shapefile format is a digital vector storage format for storing geographic location and associated attribute information. This format lacks the capacity to store topological information. The shapefile format was introduced with ArcView GIS version 2 in the early 1990s. It is now possible to read and write geographical datasets using the ...

QGIS supports shapefiles, personal geodatabases, dxf, MapInfo, PostGIS, and other industry-standard formats. [5] Web services, including Web Map Service and Web Feature Service, are also supported to allow use of data from external sources. [6] QGIS integrates with other open-source GIS packages, including PostGIS, GRASS GIS, SAGA GIS, and ...
A 12-year-old boy from Massachusetts was remembered as a "magical" middle school student after he died after an accident at a New Hampshire ski slope.. Jack Murrary, 12, was skiing at Cranmore ...
GeoPackage (GPKG) is an open, non-proprietary, platform-independent and standards-based data format for geographic information systems built as a set of conventions over a SQLite database. Defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) [ 2 ] with the backing of the US military [ 3 ] and published in 2014, GeoPackage has seen widespread support ...
