Project Detail - Digital Preservation (Library of Congress). The GeoMAPP project is exploring ways to expand the capabilities of state governments to provide long-term access to geospatial data. The project is bringing together geospatial and archival staff in multiple states to identify, preserve, and make available temporal and superseded digital geospatial data with ongoing value. A key approach will include testing a geographically dispersed content-exchange network for the replication of state and local geospatial data among several states to promote preservation and access.
The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.® (OGC) is a non-profit, international, voluntary consensus standards organization that is leading the development of standards for geospatial and location based services.
OpenLayers is a pure JavaScript library for displaying map data in most modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies. OpenLayers implements a (still-developing) JavaScript API for building rich web-based geographic applications, similar to the Go

Opticks is an expandable remote sensing and imagery analysis software platform that is free and open source. If you've used other commercial tools like: ERDAS IMAGINE, RemoteView, ENVI, or SOCET GXP, then you need to give Opticks a try. Unlike other competing tools, you can add capability to Opticks by creating an extension. Opticks provides the most advanced extension capability of any other remote sensing tool on the market.
PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS).
geopy makes it easy for developers to locate the coordinates of addresses, cities, countries, and landmarks across the globe using third-party geocoders and other sources of data, such as wikis.
POLYMAP koppelt unterschiedliche Geo- und Fachinformationssysteme (GIS) und bringt deren Daten in den Web-Browser. POLYMAP ist vollständig in Java geschrieben und wird unter einer Open-Source-Lizenz entwickelt.
polymap.org bietet den Rahmen für Diskussion, Weiterentwicklung und Pflege des Basissystems und der Plugins. Plugins erweitern das System um praktisch beliebige Funktionen und bauen aufeinander auf. Plugins können von jedem entwickelt werden und sind nicht zwingend Open-Source
The purpose of the Data Preservation WG is to provide a venue and mechanism for seeking technical and institutional solutions to the challenge of preserving digital geospatial data.
