OpenLayers 3 is here! Now it’s time to dive in and get mapping. Join us for an overview of OL3 from a user’s perspective. We’ll cover common use cases and cool features of the library you might not have heard about. Our goal in this presentation is to get you . . .
We present advances in the development of TanGeoMS, tangible geospatial modeling and visualization system. By coupling a physical three-dimensional landscape model, Kinect scanner, projector, and open source GIS software suite GRASS GIS, we created an intuitive tangible interface for dynamic modeling of real-world processes in response to different terrain . . .
Weather data is a critical element in the decision making process for a vast number of entities and its timely and accurate portrayal is essential. The U.S. National Weather Service has utilized a combination of Open Source projects including: OpenLayers, Qooxdoo, PostGIS and Flot among others to create a mash-up . . .
GeoExt is Open Source and enables building desktop-like GIS applications through the web. It is a JavaScript framework that combines the GIS functionality of OpenLayers with the user interface savvy of the ExtJS library provided by Sencha.
Version 2 of GeoExt (http://geoext.github.io/geoext2/, released in October 2013) is the successor to the . . .
Mapfish-print is a library and web-application for printing maps and reports using data from multiple online web mapping solutions like WMS, WMTS, OSM, WFS, GeoJson, etc…
The project is now nearly a decade old and is being used by a large number of websites. However, there are limitations to . . .
The “national geospatial foundation” of Norway consists of multiple semi-structured and semi-standardized thematic data sets made available in a variety of formats. Storing, extracting and performing lightweight analyses across the different data sets adds value and usefulness to the data sets, which is a prime motivation for releasing the data . . .
GeoNode is a web-based application and platform for developing geospatial information systems (GIS) and for deploying spatial data infrastructures (SDI).
The World Bank, the European Commission and the UN World Food Programme are among the major contributors and sustainers of the GeoNode project and they are using it for spatial data . . .
Little open source software finds its way into commercial agriculture and, yet, has the potential to reduce production costs for small farm operations as well as diminish potential harmful impacts on the environment in and around crops. Improving the efficiency of applying herbicides and pesticides can be brought about . . .
Imagine you were to present large amounts of constantly changing, live data to the users on a web map. Imagine it was on a website with high traffic volume(83 millon page views per month) and high requirement on quick response time. What software would you use to solve this challenge?
