Hi Arnulf, I tend to disagree with you that Chameleon is less OGC. We have a complete OGC framework here based on Chameleon. A lot of the widgets in Chameleon are focussed on OGC. But it is also possible to make an application without using OGC at all, that's true.

Maybe better reword your question and say what you need. Or try out the list below and report the results back to the corresponding lists. Mapbender (D-HTML, PHP, JavaScript, SQL, XML) http://www.mapbender.org The best OGC WMS, WFS/T, WCD, WTS client administration, visualization, analysis, tool ever. Includes authentication, authorisation, security proxy, and so on. Comes with a large set of Free or Open WMS service URLs. (forgive me for boasting, but this is my baby...) MapBuilder (D-HTML, JavaScript, XML) http://www.MapBuilder.org Cool, lightweight WMS and WFS/T capable client interface, high affinity to the GeoServer tribe & part of their download package. Very active and open development group (makes me green with envy). iGeoPortal (D-HTML, JSP, JavaScript, XML) http://deegree.sourceforge.net/ Part of the large self contained architecture deegree, makes heavy use of every imaginable OGC standard. One of the other Java tribes besides GeoServer and GeoTools. ka-map (D-HTML, JavaScript, XML, AJAX) http://ka-map.maptools.org/ Rather cool project by DM Solutions Group, right from the core of the MapServer PHP API developer. Maybe this could become the synthesis of many years of client development. They are very modest in describing what they have done. Seems like they are somewhat reluctant to make people understand what they did. Tststs... Chameleon (D-HTML, PHP, JavaScript, MapScript) http://chameleon.maptools.org/index.phtml Somewhat older project with correspondingly large user group. Dev'd by DM with focus on MapServer, less OGC. CartoWeb3 (D-HTML, PHP, JavaScript, MapScript) http://cartoweb.org/ Large self contained architecture making heavy use of MapScript, less OGC but cool stuff like routing with PostGIS (still beta?), load balancing, etc. There are many more clients out there, but probably not so many packages that implement clean OGC WMS and even less WFS. Once you find out which is the one and only, tell us. :-) Best, Arnulf.
