 +====== ​R&​D ​in Geoinformatics at INPE ======
 INPE (Brazil´s National Institute for Space Research) has supported R&D activities in Geoinformatics since the early 1980s. ​ INPE (Brazil´s National Institute for Space Research) has supported R&D activities in Geoinformatics since the early 1980s. ​

 +===== Geospatial information engineering =====
 +GI Engineering activities at INPE started in 1982, with the development of the SITIM/SGI system (1986-1995). SITIM/SGI was Brazil’s first GIS+IP system. Running on MS-DOS, it needed an add-on graphics card of 1024x1024x24 bits. It was used extensively by 150 universities and research labs, up to 1996. 
 +
 +In 1992, INPE started the development of [[http://​www.dpi.inpe.br/​spring | SPRING]]. SPRING provides a comprehensive set of functions for processing of spatial information,​ including tools for Satellite Image Processing, Digital Terrain Modelling, Spatial Analysis, Geostatistics,​ Spatial Statistics, Spatial Databases and Map Management. The software is avaliable free on the Web, and as of June 2008, had more than 100,000 registered users.
 +
 +Since 2001, INPE has been developing [[http://​www.terralib.org | TerraLib]], an open-source GIS software library. TerraLib supports large-scale applications using socio-economic and environmental data. TerraLib supports coding of geographical applications using spatial databases, and stores data in different DBMS including MySQL and PostgreSQL. ​
