Global Geomatic's geodata across products now on Red Hat Linux
Laval, Canada, August 4, 2000 - Global Geomatics Inc. announces that its industry leading data access products, are now available on the Red Hat Linux operating system. With the addition of Red Hat Linux support, Global Geomatics continues to expand its position as a multi-platform provider of spatial data access solutions.
Global Geomatics Inc. is a complete data access solution for reading and transforming spatial data. Red Hat Linux is the latest UNIX platform to be added to a list that includes Windows, Mac Os, Dec Alpha NT, Solaris. Global Geomatics allows data to be shared among people and organizations that have data resources in different GIS, CAD and database formats.
Global Geomatics' Open Geospatial Datastore Interface (OGDI) technology is the crucial component that will allow mainstream e-market access to a huge warehouse of cartographic products for both business and private use. OGDI is the only truly multi-platform, network-centric, open-architecture mapping software that permits information systems to access geospatial databases "on the fly", transparently, and without needing explicit knowledge of their formats. Key to OGDI is the Geographic Library Transfer Protocol (GLTP), specifically designed for transporting geographic information (in a uniform transient structure).
Our technology is the main way to provide geospatial data resources to customers and end users over the Internet/Intranet in user-selected data formats and projections. Global Geomatics empowers end users by allowing them to extract data from remote data sources and send it to their desktops in the data format and projection that best meets their needs.
