Project Description
DotSpatial is an open source project focused on developing a core set of GIS and mapping libraries that live together harmoniously in the DotSpatial namespace working seamlessly with the .NET framework.

dotSpatial is envisioned as a set of geospatial data management, visualization and analysis extensions to the Microsoft .NET Framework. These low level libraries can be reused in other open source or proprietary software to supply GIS and mapping capabilities.

dotSpatial is developed by members of the broader OSGeo .NET developer community. Please join the OSGeo .NET mailing list here: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/dotnet.

The dotSpatial framework is expected to evolve around the following general design:

Namespace	Source/Derived From	Status
System.Spatial.Data	Original Code + extension architecture for OGR and GDAL	Initial commit available with initial documentation
System.Spatial.Projections	Proj4/Proj4.NET	Initial commit available with initial documentation
System.Spatial.Desktop	MapWindow6	Initial commit available with initial documentation
System.Spatial.Topology	Net Topology Suite	Initial commit available with initial documentation
System.Spatial.Analysis	WhiteBox and MapWindow	not committed yet
System.Spatial.Positioning	GeoFrameworks 2 and GPS.NET 3	developer tidyup plans to commit
