I am unsure whether PostGIS fits into any existing category - maybe
"Geospatial Libraries". If you think we need another category, go ahead. </pre>

on page <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Introduction_to_FOSS_GIS">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Introduction_to_FOSS_GIS</a> I find
these categories:<br>
<ul>
<li> Categories of FOSS GIS: libraries, tools, web/desktop/scientific
apps
</li>
</ul>
IMHO this is tool/app centric view. It might be useful to add a
category "services" or "databases". The latter is more focused of
course, excluding all services not using a DBMS, hence "services" maybe
more appropriate.<br>

my 2 cents,<br>
