X Abstract

Over the four years since the previous StatGIS conference, the handling of spatial data in R has advanced substantially. This has involved the direct interfacing of OSGeo (open source geospatial) software projects and contributed R packages, chiefly GDAL/OGR, and the implementation of spatial data classes in R (the sp package). A number of architectural choices are available for placing R and GIS software and data storage components. An interface has been written for GRASS 6, which also allows R to be used with the GRASS plugin in QGIS; R can also be used in QGIS via Rpy and Python. Since both GDAL/OGR and GRASS interface databases, spatial data can be moved to and from R in a client/server framework, in addition to desktop operation. In addition, the aRT R-Terralib link will be mentioned briefly.
