All-in-One Lightweight GIS Platform

**DBF **(DataBase File) is a file format for storing data, first introduced by the dBASE database system. It is widely used as a storage method for attribute data in GIS file formats such as Shapefile, and can record the non-spatial attribute information of each spatial element, facilitating data analysis and query.

LERC (Limited Error Raster Compression) is a lossless and lossy compression algorithm for raster data developed by ESRI. It is mainly used in GIS and remote sensing fields, and is optimized for raster data with continuous floating point or integer values. Unlike other image compression formats (JPEG, PNG, etc.), the goal of LERC is to “maximize the compression ratio while maintaining spatial accuracy.”

Autodesk Navisworks is a BIM integrated review software developed by Autodesk. It features the ability to integrate, validate, and simulate multiple 3D models (Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, etc.) and is suitable for fields such as architecture, civil engineering, and plant design.

RST file, or reStructuredText file, is a lightweight markup language that uses simple markup syntax to write documents. It was first created and developed by David Goodger in 2002 and is mainly used for document writing and formatting. RST files usually have the extension “.rst” and use some specific symbols and structures to represent the various parts of the document, such as titles, lists, links, references, etc.

TPK (Tile Package) file is a file format for packaging raster or vector map tiles used by ESRI’s ArcGIS platform. It is mainly used for viewing maps offline or embedding maps in applications, and the extension is “.tpk”. Tiles are a collection of images that divide a map or aerial photo into different zoom levels, and TPK is a single compressed file containing all these images.

NWD (Navisworks Document) is a common file format in GIS (Geographic Information System) for storing and sharing 3D modeling data. NWD files are generated by Autodesk’s Navisworks software, which allows users to integrate 3D models, point cloud data, engineering information, etc. from multiple sources into a centralized project file.

WB files are a special format used in spatial data processing software to support web-based spatial slicing services. This format is particularly used to save and publish terrain data or image data after slicing. As a form of integrated management file, it enables efficient loading and online publishing of data. As a self-contained data package containing the hierarchical structure and metadata of terrain or image slices, WB files are widely used in lightweight deployment scenarios.

RDC (IDRISI Raster Documentation File) is a format that stores raster data as a three-dimensional data cube. Each data unit consists of spatial location, time, and attribute values. In RDC, the spatial location can be longitude and latitude, UTM coordinates, or other geographic spatial reference systems. The time can be one or more time series, which can represent data at multiple time points or time series data. The attribute value is the characteristic data of the raster cell, such as temperature, altitude, or other geographic information.

JPEG 2000 is one of the international standards for image compression and is an improvement on the traditional JPEG (ISO/IEC 10918). It was standardized as ISO/IEC 15444 in 2000 and achieves high compression ratio and high image quality by adopting wavelet compression technology.

SHP (Shapefile) is a commonly used GIS data format. It is a vector data format designed by ESRI (Environmental Science Research Institute) and can be used to store and edit various geographic information data, such as points, lines, and surfaces. SHP files are a binary-based format that contains the geometric information and attribute information of geographic entities.
