JUMP
”JUMP is a computer program that uses a unified mapping platform as a visualisation framework … ” (changed ESRI key note on What is GIS? by M. Bobzien)
The foundation of The JUMP-Project is a suite of free, open-source applications that provide an extensible API and graphic user interface (GUI) for viewing and manipulating spatial data-sets. Currently, the major projects of the JUMP Project suite include:
- The JUMP Unified Mapping Platform (JUMP) provides both the main UI and an API to a highly extensible framework for developing and running custom spatial data processing applications.
- The JTS Topology Suite (JTS) provides an API of 2D spatial predicates and functions for fundamental geometric operations in an OGC-compliant spatial object model.
- The JCS Conflation Suite (JSC) is an API and a set of interactive tools which perform conflation on spatial datasets.
JUMP Plug-Ins optimize the JUMP component tools and functions into enviroments specific to the needs of a given project or application. For example, the Government of British Columbia's (BC) Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management (MSRM) has developed and used various custom JUMP plug-ins for the preparation and integration of data into their Corporate Watershed Base (CWB) project.
