The Carbon Project

Mission

Our mission is to pioneer innovative geosocial solutions and make location-based information accessible and usable to everyone, everywhere.

Approach

We believe that true geospatial interoperability is achieved not only by publishing well designed and thought out specifications, but also by making these specifications accessible to software developers and the general public. Our flagship product, CarbonTools, is a new software development toolkit that enhances the Microsoft .NET framework to support advanced location content handling and sharing. With CarbonTools .NET developers can extend existing geospatial systems with new capabilities and content sources or build exciting new open-geospatial .NET applications. The revolutionary CarbonCloud peer-to-peer (P2P) framework is the world’s first P2P framework for sharing location content.

Goal

Our goal is to make geospatial interoperability completely transparent. We aspire to hide all the complexities of accessing location-based information and handling geospatial services. We hope to achieve systems and services that are understandable, accessible and usable by everyone, everywhere.
