  <dc:title>Simple Features for R</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package sf version 1.1-2</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: Spatial (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Spatial)</dc:subject>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: SpatioTemporal (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=SpatioTemporal)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Support for simple feature access, a standardized way to
    encode and analyze spatial vector data. Binds to 'GDAL' 
	&lt;doi:10.5281/zenodo.5884351&gt; for reading and writing data, to 'GEOS'
    &lt;doi:10.5281/zenodo.11396894&gt; for geometrical operations,
    and to 'PROJ' &lt;doi:10.5281/zenodo.5884394&gt; for projection
    conversions and datum transformations. Uses by default the 's2'
    package for geometry operations on geodetic (long/lat degree)
	coordinates.</dc:description>
