Hi list, I'd like to make GeoNode able to manage cartographic products. For cartography I mean a non georeferenced map in a custom layout with a title, legend, overview and so on. Cartography could be uploaded into GeoNode such as a layer, this should not be published to Geoserver but should be in Geonetwork.
Beyond normal metadata, a cartography entry should keep trace of the layers used to build it by choosing among the available layers in GeoNode (or by link to the data upload procedure if are new layers). Cartography metadata should have a bbox field where to indicate the coordinates of the map extension. In the future we can think of publish directly the print result of the /maps/x/view applications. Any ideas, opinions or suggestions are more than welcome. Until now I have wrote really experimental (and messy) code trying to use the GeoNode code as much as possible. You can find it at https://github.com/simod/geonode/ and https://github.com/simod/geonode-client. Thanks for your help -- Simone Dalmasso
