  • Creating Shareable Markups
    Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise Creating Shareable Markups Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise has a powerful API (application programming interface) for creating and managing resources and creating markups or redlines. In addition, the API also exposes FDO Data Access Technology to enable MapGuide-based applications to manipulate data sources directly on the server. This paper shows how to create markups that are stored on the server and can be shared among multiple users through the MapGuide programming interface. The information in this paper is applicable to both the MapGuide Open Source and Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise versions of the platform. www.autodesk.com/mapguide AUTODESK MAPGUIDE TECHNIQUES: CREATING SHAREABLE MARKUPS Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................... 3 Concepts........................................................................................................................... 4 Enumerating Markup Resources .................................................................................... 4 Reading and Writing Markup Resources........................................................................ 7 ........................................................................................................................................... 8 Creating the Markup Resources ..................................................................................... 8 Digitizing Markup Features...........................................................................................

  • Open Source GIS Software Applications Include GRASS, a Project Started in 1982 by the US Army but Is Now Open Source, and QGIS (Otherwise Known As Quantum GIS)
    Open Source GIS and Freeware GIS Applications An open source application by definition is software that you can freely access and modify the source code for. Open source projects typically are worked on by a community of volunteer programmers. Open source GIS programs are based on different base programming languages. Three main groups of open source GIS (outside of web GIS) in terms of programming languages are: “C” languages, Java, and .NET. The first group would be the group that uses “C” language for its implementation. This is the more mature of the groups of open source GIS, probably for the simple reason that is the group that has been working on GIS software applications the longest and has a long history of reuse of code. The libraries in the “C” group, from the base infrastructure, and include some capabilities like coordinate projection that make them very useful and popular. Popular “C” based open source GIS software applications include GRASS, a project started in 1982 by the US Army but is now open source, and QGIS (otherwise known as Quantum GIS). The second group of Open Source GIS would be the ones that use JAVA as the implementation language. JTS, central library for the Java GIS development, offers some geospatial functions that allow to compare objects and return a boolean true/false result indicating the existence (or absence) of any questioned spatial relationship. Other operators, like Union or Buffer, which are very hard to code, are offered in this group making it very appreciated by GIS developers. GeoTools, Geoserve, and OpenMap, are among the most popular open source GIS in this group of JAVA tools.

  • Suas Mapserver - an Open Source Framework for Extended Web Map Services
    SUAS MAPSERVER - AN OPEN SOURCE FRAMEWORK FOR EXTENDED WEB MAP SERVICES Franz-Josef Behra, *, Hui Lib aDepartment of Geomatics, Computer Science and Mathematics, University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart Schellingstraße 24, D-70174 Stuttgart (Germany) - [email protected] bM-Way Solutions GmbH, Leitzstr. 45, D-70469 Stuttgart - [email protected] Commission IV, WG IV/5 KEY WORDS: Internet/Web, Mapping, Services, SVG, Interoperability, Spatial Infrastructures, Standards, SVGT ABSTRACT: The Web Map Server Implementation Specification (WMS), originally developed and published by the Open Geospatial Consortium, was finally adopted by ISO as an international standard. According to this standard maps are presented either in “picture” formats or “graphic element” formats. While the pictorial (visual) representation uses raster formats, graphic element formats include Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) or Web Computer Graphics Metafile (WebCGM) format. In this paper a framework named SUAS for supporting extended Web Map Services will be presented. Geo-data is converted to Well Known Text format (WKT) and stored in a database management system, retrieved by the WMS server upon user request and transferred – optionally compressed – through the Internet. Finally it is visualized in Web browsers on desktop computers or mobile devices, natively or using special map clients. Besides supporting the WMS standard operations, additional formats and extensions have been included in this framework. The development proves that open, XML-based standards in combination with modern programming languages and integrated development environments allow rapid implementation of recommendations and standards in geo-informatics. 1. INTRODUCTION Through this operation the map itself is obtained and can be visualized by the client software, sometimes combined with 1.1 General background maps obtained from other servers.
