APB discuss a press release about MetaCarta"s announcement of their Geographic Search and Referencing Platform (GSRP). MetaCarta are behind the open source OpenLayers, TileCache, FeatureServer and more. From APB"s analysis: "In other words, you can separately license their API"s but still have access to their geo-referencing engine. So, if you only want to use their geotagging or query parsings applications in conjunction with the underlying geo-referencing engine software developers will now be able to license them as they need them. In the past, the six modules (geotagging, query parsing, geosearch, location finder, save-search-notification, and document density) that comprised the MetaCarta platform were highly inter-related and did not work independently."
