+uDig is an open source desktop and internet GIS application framework. The
+project goal is to provide a complete Java solution for desktop GIS data
+access, editing and viewing.
+
+uDig aims to be:
+- User friendly, providing a familiar graphical environment for GIS users;
+- Desktop located, running as a thick client
+- Internet oriented, consuming standard (WMS, WFS, WPS) and de facto (GeoRSS,
+ KML, tiles) geospatial web services; and, GIS ready, providing the
+ framework on which complex analytical capabilities can be built, and gradually
+ subsuming those capabilities into the main application.
