Terra = Earth. Ferramenta = Tool made of Iron. ∴ Terramenta = Tool made of Earth
Using NASA WorldWind and the Netbeans Platform, Terramenta is an open source attempt at creating a baseline for GIS applications.
As I developed several different WWJ based applications I noticed that they all started out the same... Terramenta was born so I wouldn't have to recreate the baseline every time, I could just provide NB plugin modules to introduce the new features required by different projects.
