TerraLib is an open-source - program library with functions of a geographic information system . The library was written in C ++ and has programming interfaces to Java and Visual Basic . A merger of several public institutions from Brazil has developed TerraLib. The motivation was to have a geographic information system that is geared towards the needs of environmental and socio-economic data, copes well with large amounts of data and can be easily expanded independently to implement new research methods.

A major goal is the processing of large amounts of spatial and spatiotemporal data. Therefore, a comparatively large number of databases are supported. PostgreSQL with the spatial component PostGIS , the Oracle database (especially Oracle Spatial and Graph ), MySQL , Firebird and the Microsoft SQL Server can be connected. Within the TerraLib architecture, the data is processed and stored in the cache in order to reduce the time it takes to render maps. This enables users to navigate through visualized geodata faster and without jerking. From version 4, the data model is compatible with the OGC standards.

TerraLib supports dynamic modeling in generalized cell spaces, has an interface to the statistical programming language R and can also handle image files. Many spatial data models are implemented.

Building on TerraLib, the Brazilian Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais developed the GIS TerraView .
