Dear Bob, dear Paul,
I apologize for not having decoded the DWH abbreviation I used in my posting.
DWH means DataWareHouse.
Yours,

Hi,
i would suggest to also have a look into service oriented architecture
design. Probably some will heavily object but in my understanding DWH is
a sort of very mature concept that is extended or even replaced by SOA.
Look into the OGC http://www.opengeospatial.org for all kinds of
documents and links from the heavily technical spec to the cookbook.
Cool to fill bibliographies.
Regarding communities: Adam Luks added some polish text fragments to the
Mapbender homepage http://www.mapbender.org. Michel Garand in
Frankfurt/Oder uses MapServer in the OdraGIS project. Check out
http://www.multimediaplan.at, it is not a techno place but makes heavy
use of MapServer in planning contexts and has many projects and
contacts, maybe these are good starting points.
Best regards,
Arnulf.
Tomasz,
First off, what is "DHW" , I get a couple of hit in GOOGLE about it
concerning Housing and Health & Welfare. But that's it.
What type of data is it that you are trying to render?

Dear Friends,
My name is Tomasz Adamczewski, I am an Assistant Lecturer and a Research
Faculty Member and Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of Information
Technology of the Karol Adamiecki Higher School of Economics in Katowice,
Poland.
My doctoral project, whose working title reads: "MapServer as a Tool
Supporting Data Analysis in Data Warehouses. Towards New Applications of
DM
Solutions Open Source Geospacial Rendering Software," focuses upon the
application of the software developed by your Community as an interface
supporting the analysis of DWH data for such purposes as index analysis,
asset management, marketing, etc. So far, the problems concerning GIS-DWH
integration have been addressed by a highly limited number of scientists
and
IT specialists (e.g.: INCO-COPERNICUS Project No. 977091 – a
cooperative
project between Technical University Vienna, Czech Technical University
Prague; Lumare GIS, Ltd.; Technical University of Kosice, University GH
Essen, and VEGA, Ltd., completed in 2001, and Japanese projects). It is
especially in the context of the application and implementation of Open
Source tools for such purposes that very little has been published.
I would be very grateful for your kind assistance in becoming acquainted
with what has been done in the field by Community members; I will
appreciate
any published materials (pdf, electronic or other), backchannel e-mail
exchange or any information concerning possible partcipation in
conferences
organized by Community members as well as instructions on how to
contribute
projects to the future Foundation.
New to the group, I would like to humbly ask for initial guidance
concerning
the netiquette and customs of the Community.
With all my best regards,
Tomash
