    88GDAL - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
    … …  
    1414The GDAL/OGR tree holds source for a vector IO library inspired by [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards OpenGIS Simple Features]. In theory it is separate from GDAL, but currently they reside in the same source tree and are somewhat entangled. More information can be found at http://www.gdal.org/ogr/. It is my plan to properly fold OGR into GDAL properly at some point in the future. Then GDAL will be a raster and vector library.

    1818OGR used to stand for ''OpenGIS Simple Features Reference Implementation''. However, since OGR is not fully compliant with the OpenGIS Simple Feature specification and is not approved as a reference implementation of the spec the name was changed to ''OGR Simple Features Library''. The only meaning of OGR in this name is historical. OGR is also the prefix used everywhere in the source of the library for class names, filenames, etc.
