Vancouver, B.C. – July 6, 2006 – Safe Software Inc., a world leader in the development of interoperability solutions for the exchange and transformation of spatial data, today announced the release of SpatialDirect® 2006 GB. With Safe Software’s proven Feature Manipulation Engine (FME®) capability at its core, SpatialDirect delivers spatial data over the web in many of the over 160 formats supported by the underlying FME servers. SpatialDirect also includes a Web Feature Service (WFS) Server and Internationalization (I18N) support.
SpatialDirect 2006 GB adds numerous important enhancements to SpatialDirect 2006 which was released in February. FME Workbench can now be used to configure SpatialDirect, allowing greater control of complex data transformations, and the new FME 2006 GB Server included in SpatialDirect 2006 GB provides improved raster support.
Formats supported for the first time include GML Simple Feature Level 0 and beta support for ESRI® File-based Geodatabase for ArcGIS 9.2 users. Distribution of GE® Smallworld™ data is now supported through the SpatialBiz third-party plug-in available from Spatial Business Systems of Denver, Colorado.
“This latest release of SpatialDirect represents a new level of maturity for the product,” said Kieran Jones, Enterprise Solutions Developer at Safe Software. “We’re excited to be offering its enhanced capabilities and functionality to our customers.”
