+ SHORT="a framework for spatial indexing"
+cat << EOF
+The purpose of this library is to provide:
+
+1. An extensible framework that will support robust spatial indexing methods.
+2. Support for sophisticated spatial queries. Range, point location, nearest
+ neighbor and k-nearest neighbor as well as parametric queries (defined
+ by spatial constraints) should be easy to deploy and run.
+3. Easy to use interfaces for inserting, deleting and updating information.
+4. Wide variety of customization capabilities. Basic index and storage
+ characteristics like the page size, node capacity, minimum fan-out,
+ splitting algorithm, etc. should be easy to customize.
+5. Index persistence. Internal memory and external memory structures should be
+ supported. Clustered and non-clustered indices should be easy to be
+ persisted.
