The SpatiaLite extension enables SQLite to support spatial data too [aka
GEOMETRY], in a way conformant to OpenGis specifications.

ZOO is a WPS (Web Processing Service) open source project released under a MIT/X-11 style license . It provides an OGC WPS compliant developer-friendly framework to create and chain WPS Web services.

ZOO Kernel is a powerful server-side C Kernel which makes it possible to manage and chain Web services, by loading dynamic libraries and handling them as on-demand Web services. The ZOO Kernel is written in C language, but supports several common programming languages in order to connect to numerous libraries and models.

ZOO Kernel works with Apache and can communicate with cartographic engines and Web mapping clients. It simply adds the WPS support to your spatial data infrastructure and your Web mapping application !

The main part of the project consists in a JPEG 2000 codec compliant with the Part 1 of the standard (Class-1 Profile-1 compliance).

The OpenJPEG library is written in C language, released under the BSD license and targets Win32, Unix and Mac OS platforms.

The library is developed by the Communications and Remote Sensing Lab (TELE) of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), with the support of the CS company, the CNES and the intoPIX company.
