'''Kosmo''' is a desktop [[geographic information system]] (GIS) with advanced functions. It is the first of a series of developments that are being made available to the community.
Kosmo was implemented using the [[Java (programming language)|Java]] programming language and is being developed from the [[JUMP GIS]] platform and a series of free code libraries, all of which are well acknowledged and widely used in different free software projects (for example, [[Geotools]] and [[JTS Topology Suite|JTS]]). It is available for Windows and Linux operating systems.
It is a tool for visualizing and processing spatial data, characterized by its friendly user interface and access to multiple data formats, both vectorial (in a file, such as [[Shapefile]], [[DWG]] and [[DXF]], or a database, such as [[PostgreSQL]], [[MySQL]], or [[Oracle database|Oracle]]) and raster ([[TIFF]], [[ECW]], [[MrSID]], or other georeferenced image files, such as [[BMP]], [[GIF]], [[JPG]], or [[Portable Network Graphics|PNG]]). It can also edit and offer a variety of utilities to the GIS user.
One of its main characteristics is the possibility of increasing functionality, based on extensions.
Kosmo was developed by a company called [http://www.saig.es/en SAIG S.L.] (in Spanish Sistemas Abiertos de Información Geográfica - Open Geographical Information Systems), and is distributed under the [[GNU General Public License]].
