GIS Monitor introduces the Morpheus Data Transformation Project. From the article: "How much time do you spend re-inventing the wheel? The Morpheus Data Transformation Project, a collaborative project between database researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Florida, aims to save software developers a lot of time by making it easier to manage the integration of disparate databases into a data warehouse. [...] The Morpheus project is "an excellent theory and supported by many industries," Henstrom told me. "However, it is a 'day late and a dollar short' given existing solutions and their successful implementations across multiple GIS vendors and the GIS community."" From Morpheus' overview page: "The Morpheus project is aimed at simplifying the transformation component of ETL [extraction, transformation and loading] making it easy to build, find and reuse transformation between disparate data types.
