The GRASS -- What is it?The GRASS -- What is it?Posted Feb 19, 2005 4:18 UTC (Sat) by dmag (subscriber, #17775)Parent article: The GRASS Geographical Information System
Um, I'm not trying to be a troll, but this article wasn't very useful. First, it didn't explain what GRASS is or what I could use it for. Second, it uses a *lot* of GIS jargon that us mortals can't always parse. (For example: "They are made available through the OGR Simple Features Library, which is a part of the GDAL package.")

The GRASS -- What is it? Posted Feb 21, 2005 1:13 UTC (Mon) by ukfrank05 (guest, #27797) [Link] GRASS stands for "Geographic Resources Analysis Support System"; it represents the most complete Geographical Information System available under the GPL. This, perhaps, has to suffice as a bare-bones explanation for GRASS. Admittedly, it could be longer...Your comment about gdal is valid, though.
