Terralib enables quick development of custom-built geographical applications using spatial databases. as a research tool, terralib is aimed at providing a rich and powerful environment for the development of gis research, enabling the development of gis prototypes that include new concepts such as spatio-temporal data models, geographical ontologies and advanced spatial analysis techniques. terralib defines a geographical data model and provides support for this model over a range of different dbms (mysql, postgresql, oracle and access), and is implemented as a library of c++ classes and functions, written in ansi-c++.

this package contains development files for terralib.
