uDig (User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS) is both a GeoSpatial Eclipse RCP
application and a platform through which GIS developers may create new, derived
applications. It makes heavy internal usage of the Eclipse Modeling Framework,
and also uses the Graphical Editing Framework to manage layouts for export.
uDig
has been developed with an emphasis on open standards, extensibility, and open
source development. uDig also makes use of experimental XSD-based schema
assisted parsing and adaptive workflows.
Richard Gould is a core developer of the uDig project, an Eclipse RCP based GIS application, primarily used for viewing spatial data. He is also a member of the Project Management Committee for the GeoTools project, which does a lot of the work for uDig.
Richard has been an employee of Refractions Research for two years, but is also a student at the University of Victoria, Canada, where he is finishing his bachelor's degree.
