Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open source map server
SLD is Styled Layer Descriptor: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sld defines an encoding that extends the WMS standard to allow user-defined symbolization and coloring of geographic feature and coverage data. SLD addresses the need for users and software to be able to control the visual portrayal of the geospatial data. The ability to define styling rules requires a styling language that the client and server can both understand --- Raj On Aug 4, at 5:46 AM, del cadarn wrote: Forgive my ignorance but a few of you mention SLD editor...

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open source map server
Hello, All of your requirements can be configured into a GeoMoose interface. The lookup aspects will require some extra setup steps, but everything you want out of the ease of use as well as the basic list you describe here of capabilities is in or can be added to a GeoMoose instance. Take a look at the online demos here: http://www.geomoose.org/info/demo.html If they look like they might work for you you can get started with GeoMoose here: http://www.geomoose.org/index.html with the how-tos on that page. bobb del cadarn del_cad...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello all, I am calling upon your Open Source expertise.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open source map server
D, Styled Layer Description (SLD), and XML standard for stylizing stuff. Lucky for you, I'm actually working on this at the moment . . . :c) with a SLD, you can start with a WMS call like this: https://maps.co.ramsey.mn.us/arcgis/services/ParcelPolyWMS2/MapServer/WMSServer?WIDTH=600HEIGHT=600BBOX=44.95,-93.028,44.955,-93.023CRS=EPSG:4326FORMAT=image/png24STYLES=REQUEST=GetMapSERVICE=WMSVERSION=1.3.0LAYERS=0 . . . . which should return an image with the default styles configured on the server. you can change the styles by changing the call to include a SLD, like so: https://maps.co.ramsey.mn.us/arcgis/services/ParcelPolyWMS2/MapServer/WMSServer?WIDTH=600HEIGHT=600BBOX=-93.028,44.95,-93.023,44.955SRS=EPSG:4326FORMAT=image/png24STYLES=textSymbolizerREQUEST=GetMapSERVICE=WMSVERSION=1.1.1LAYERS=0TRANSPARENT=trueSLD=http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml The ( https://maps.co.ramsey.mn.us/arcgis/services/ParcelPolyWMS2/MapServer/WMSServer?WIDTH=600HEIGHT=600BBOX=-93.028,44.95,-93.023,44.955SRS=EPSG:4326FORMAT=image/png24STYLES=textSymbolizerREQUEST=GetMapSERVICE=WMSVERSION=1.1.1LAYERS=0TRANSPARENT=trueSLD=http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml ) SLD= ( https://maps.co.ramsey.mn.us/arcgis/services/ParcelPolyWMS2/MapServer/WMSServer?WIDTH=600HEIGHT=600BBOX=-93.028,44.95,-93.023,44.955SRS=EPSG:4326FORMAT=image/png24STYLES=textSymbolizerREQUEST=GetMapSERVICE=WMSVERSION=1.1.1LAYERS=0TRANSPARENT=trueSLD=http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml )http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml parameter ( http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml ) above is used to tell the server how to stylize the output instead of using the default style. While this is using a static SLD, the real power comes into the equation when the user has a SLD editor at the their disposal to change the STYLE on the fly. This email is just to get you asking questions, there's a lot more to it behind the scenes. The server needs to be able to understand SLD calling, etc. This service is using MapServer as the WMS server for example. bobb del cadarn del_cad...@hotmail.com wrote: Forgive my ignorance but a few of you mention SLD editor...

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open source map server
Hi, Koordinates.com is currently hosting a whote 'tone' of data, where each dataset /item is independently licenced. The API isn't open source, but the data is free. On the next level, the CommonMap.org project, is 'just like OSM' but with the ccBY licence for it's data, were all shp file source attributes are maintained, with the addition of 'osm-tags'. If anyone knows of better systems, please do share, as duplicate efforts on where to spend time is a frequent occurance. :) cheers, sam On 8/3/11, del cadarn del_cad...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello all, I am calling upon your Open Source expertise.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open source map server
The GeoMOOSE project might fit your needs. Check out the gallery. http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/GeoMOOSE_Gallery It uses MapServer and OpenLayers under the hood. We also offer commercial support if that is an option. Best of luck, Brian Brian Fischer, CFM GIS Manager Houston Engineering, Inc.
