JCS Conflation Suite

The JCS Conflation Suite is an API and set of interactive tools which perform conflation on spatial datasets.

JCS has the following features:

JCS contains functions for performing various kinds of geo-spatial conflation processes. The major conflation problems it addresses are Coverage Cleaning, Coverage Alignment and Road Network Matching.
JCS supports QA operations for detecting and visualizing errors and both automatic and manual cleaning functions to adjust geometry.
JCS supplies an API providing full programmatic access to all functions
JCS provides manual editing tools to perform human-assisted conflation for cases which automated methods cannot solve
JCS is written in 100% pure Java^TM
JCS is open source

JCS relies on two other APIs for essential spatial functionality:

the JUMP Unified Mapping Platform provides an rich GUI environment for performing automated and interactive spatial data processing

the JTS Topology Suite provides an OGC-compliant spatial object model and fundamental geometric operations.

JCS 1.0.1 compatibility release
This release is not much different from JCS 1.0.0, the main difference being compatibility with the new JUMP 1.1.
