Geomatics platform: GeOpen4S
The GeOpen4S platform is a homogeneous, collaborative environment providing the technical support needed to manage and process spatialized data. The aim of this platform is to create a network of "technical" exchanges and, by sharing tools and experience, to help the collective progress in its mastery of the softwares and methods associated with geographic information processing.
This platform makes several services available to the community, the main ones being: 1) data sharing, 2) GIS (Geographic Information System) technologies, 3) statistical processing and 4) relational database management.
The softwares used for these different services are all from the open-source community, and have been chosen for their interoperability to simplify exchanges.
