The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a library for reading and writing raster geospatial data formats, it is released under license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. (http://www.osgeo.org/).
SIS uses GDAL to provide a single data abstract model for reading and exporting the majority of raster formats supported. More information can be found at http://www.gdal.org/ and http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html
