Definition
deegree (http://www.deegree.org) is a Java-based open source framework for the creation of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) components. It contains the services needed for SDI (deegree Web Services) as well as portal components (deegree iGeoPortal), mechanisms for handling security issues (deegree iGeoSecurity) and storage/visualization of three‐dimensional (3D) geodata (deegree iGeo3D).
deegree is conceptually and interface-wise based on the standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and ISO/TC 211. At the time of writing it is the most comprehensive implementation of OGC standards in one open source framework. The framework is component-based to a high degree, allowing the flexible creation of solutions for a wide variety of...
