TD4W Free Open Source Software (FOSS) Geostack USB stick is tool to Map and Analyse: Barter transactions, Economics, Demographics. TD4W FOSS Geostack has advanced to a point where the memory capacity of a USB stick and the processing power of a Laptop can be a viable options to expensive, commercially available Software and Hardware. The TDW FOSS Geostack runs on the Ubuntu operating system (http://www.ubuntu.com/) and is deployed on a USB stick. The basic geospatial components (figure 1) include: a database (PostgreSQL/PostGIS, SpatiaLite, SQLite), metadata handling tools (GeoNetwork, Metavist, MCat), visualization (QGIS, uDIG), and analysis (GRASS GIS, Opticks, PolSarPro), accounting (Cyclos). Components are chosen based on the component’s maturity level, capabilities, and high degree of interoperability.  TD4W Trading Circle (TC) believes that this combination of properties allow for a Geostack that has an acceptable level of use-ability, ability to do complex analyses, and ability to import and export different data formats between components as needed. Interoperability is especially important since a component may not have the capability to do a specific analysis and it becomes necessary to export the data into another component for further processing.

 

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database system and is considered to be the most advanced open source database system (Obe and Hsu, 2011). PostGIS is a FOSS extension for PostgreSQL that enables the database system to store and process geographic objects. SpatiaLite is an extension that spatially enables the SQLite relational database management system. Whereas PostgreSQL/PostGIS is an enterprise wide database management system SQLite/SpatiaLite is a standalone database system. It is suitable for local storage and can be imbedded into other Software applications (for example, in web browsers).  Metadata tools GeoNetwork, Metavist is used to record metadata, which is information of data stored in the database system. It provides powerful metadata editing and searching capabilities. It also contains an embedded data viewer. Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a FOSS desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) viewer that provides data viewing, editing, and analysis capabilities. QGIS can also be used as a graphical user interface to GRASS GIS. QGIS can connect to PostgreSQL/PostGIS and SQLite/SpatiaLite, which allows access to data within the database. Udig is a Java-based Open source GIS that provides editing and viewing capabilities of geospatial data.

 The TDW FOSS Geostack USB stick contains: comprehensive suite of algorithms, database, viewers, analytical components, metadata tools that allow GIS processing and analyze data.
