About the Dapple project
About Dapple
Dapple is a global data explorer designed to provide an open and optimal environment for visualizing, presenting and sharing massive quantities of geoscientific data on desktop computers. Dapple lets you browse, discover and display graphically rich data from global and corporate spatial servers – Geosoft DAP servers, NASA servers, USGS servers, and the many, many WMS servers currently available. The Dapple project is an open-source activity derived from the NASA World Wind open source project.

Geosoft started the Dapple open source project in 2004. The Dapple project remains an open source project, however as of June 2012, Geosoft will no longer be playing an active role in the Dapple open source project.
