The library would need to link georeferencing and other data to it. A geospatial data layer could be many things (a set of GEOS geometries, an OGR layer, etc), but conceptually it consists of geometries, attributes, and attribute values. Additionally, there's style data that may hook up to attributes and tell how the values are utilized (for colors, symbols, etc) in the visualization. When rendering an object is requested, the caller knows the value and can thus can call specific visualization function or give a specific color etc. Thus the library would need three kind of routines: 1. define geospatial and general properties of the canvas (returns a handle to a "geocairo" context) - only one of this kind function is needed - a function to convert from geographic coordinates to context coordinates could be provided 2. render a layer on the cairo context - there would probably have to be a separate function for each layer implementation 3. render a geospatial object on the cairo context - again, several functions or macros, one for each object type & visualization class The pipeline itself could be left for the user, thus a scripting language client would have a complete control over the visualization and could implement its own visualization routines etc. For me to implement this would initially mean just reorganizing my code (currently in libral: http://libral.cvs.sourceforge.net/libral/libral/ral_pixbuf.h?revision=1.13&view=markup and other files) to use cairo. I'm probably going to do this anyway, I'm just trying to find out if there are similar interests.

The Italian Ministry of Work withdraws the call for tenders appealed by the Associazione per il Software Libero (Free Software Association) The story On february the 21st 2006 the Italian Ministry of Work and Social Politics - Department of Technological Innovation published in the Official Journal of the Italian Republic n. 43 a call for tenders for the supply of an amount of Euro 4.539.184,55 of Microsoft software licenses. This call for tenders allowed to participate only resellers qualified by Microsoft as "Large Account Resellers": just 11 Italian companies comply with this. According to Italian law, before buying software Public Administrations have to compare all available options, including free software. In this case such evaluation was omitted and free competition principles were violated: just resellers of one company's products were allowed to compete. For this reason "Associazione per il Software Libero" decided to appeal this call for tenders before the court (Regional Administrative Tribunal of Lazio-Rome) filing case n. 3838/2006. Press Release There is no need to wait for the final decision in the case promoted by the Associazione per il Software Libero against the Ministry of Work and Social Politics before the Administrative Tribunal of Lazio Region appealing the call for tenders for the supply of Microsoft software licenses. The Ministry withdrawn the call for tenders with act of annullment. [1] WE WON. Therefore 4.5 million Euros of public money will not be spent on proprietary software licenses, since the Ministry failed to consider free software options.

MapServer users. Updated version released on 07-01-2007 (first release: May 2003) After over 9000 downloads I added the option to create configuration files for other Web Map Servers like MapServer (http:// mapserver.gis.umn.edu) besides the already supported ArcIMS! You can extend this to other formats by adding new XSLT transformation stylesheets (see below 'Adding other formats') The configuration files for ArcIMS and for MapServer are focussed on creating Open Geospatial Consortium compliant Web Map Services (OGC- WMS). The files generated for MapServer can be customized by editing the "resoures/_MXDtoMap.xsl" file. The default form is particularly focussed on users that publish metadata and services through GeoNetwork opensource (http://geonetwork-opensource.org). This tool converts ArcMap views (all layers in the view) into ArcIMS (ArcXML .axl) and MapServer (.map) configuration files, both for shapefiles and for raster files. The conversion to MapServer is still under development and good improvements are very welcome! I have basically had two problems reported. I hope these are fixed through this release. This release fixes: - Issues with ArcMap 9.2 - Allows you to convert Maps with up to 500 layers instead of 30. Otherwise no changes have been made. This tool is free and open source software released under the LGPL license. You can find the source code at http://sourceforge.net/ projects/arcmaptools I would appreciate an e-mail if you like it ;-) (Jeroen at Ticheler.net) Adding other formats: You can add other output formats by creating XSLT documents that convert the AXL output generated by default. To do this, save the created XSLT in the resources folder and add a format Element to the formats.xml file that contains the parameters needed for that type of configuration file. For example: *.sld Style Layer Description files (*.sld)|*.sld _MXDtoSLD.xsl Good luck, Jeroen Ticheler 07 February 2007 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss at lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

April 2007. Nach 6 Jahren kontinuierlicher Entwicklung umfasst das deegree-Projekt heute die umfangreichste Implementierung der OGC/ISO-Standards in Freier Software. Um den Community-orientierten Entwicklungsprozess weiter voran zu treiben, findet am 12. Juni 2007 der zweite deegree day als Treffen von Entwicklern und Nutzern im Universitätsclub Bonn statt. Der deegree day bietet eine Plattform zum Erfahrungsaustausch und zur Diskussion. Entwickler werden aktuelle und zukünftige Features von deegree vorstellen. Nutzer tragen aktuelle Projektergebnisse vor. Es besteht die Gelegenheit, wichtige offene Fragen zur deegree-Technologie und -Dokumentation zu diskutieren und sich über die Projektorganisation der deegree-Entwicklung zu informieren. Im Anschluss an die Veranstaltung finden am 13. Juni kostenpflichtige Workshops zu den Themen "deeJUMP" und "iGeoPortal Portlet Edition" statt. Call for Papers / Sponsoring Wir laden Sie ein, einen Vortrag oder ein Tutorial auf dem deegree day zu halten. Vorträge und Tutorials sollten von allgemeinem Interesse für die Teilnehmer des deegree day sein und sich mit Aspekten des deegree-Projekts befassen.

GeoServer comes as either a WAR file that you drop on Tomcat or as a free standing solution that simply requires a / geoserver/bin/run.sh . For a CLI solution, GDAL allows you to create tiles w/out having a server do the heavy lifting for you.

It has been updated and the source code in the CVS has too, although that concerns only a limited number of files. I did not put another download option through sourceforge.net though, only the ArcScripts section.

Changes and additions to this version include: ? adaptation to the OGC discussion paper OGC 06-095 which comprises the current specifications ? upgrade to Java 6.0 ? extended MultiUser registration update This Java Servlet executes and manages message dialogues between a client and one or more Web Services for long asychronous processes. Acting as a protocol transducer, it translates the incoming XML encoded messages to email (SMTP), short message service (SMS), fax, phone, HTTP POST and XMPP. A SingleUser and/or MultiUser can register to receive either a notification message (one-way message) or a communication message (response to the message received is expected). At least two other services currently make use of the 52N WNS. The 52N Sensor Planning Service (SPS) uses the WNS to communicate between the SPS and the sensor user. The 52N Sensor Alert Service (SAS) sends messages to the WNS when the messages should be received offline, i.e. on a device not connected to the internet.

All very hot topics in the UK. I wonder whether you can give me any advice or pointers at all. I would like to be able to develop non-proprietary web applications for our clients that will enable them to visualise their spatial data on a map base. I understand that both Flash and SVG technology will enable this - so that the map user has full control of what layers can be switched on/off, map scale and alternative ways of demonstrating data e.g. bar charts, line graphs etc. I've said non-proprietary cos I don't want to go down the route of using proprietary web servers like ArcIMS and MapExtreme and the "problems" with slow map rendering etc. However, added complication for me is that Java is now a big thing with Google, Windows Live Local and other mapping engines out there ... and I have no programming experience whatsoever so if we go ahead with this route - it will entail a steep learning curve. A spin-off from developing web applications is that the user will also be able to mark specific points, lines and/or areas - as part of the public participation process e.g. highlighting traffic congestion blackspots. Google Maps allows for this but with these public mapping engines, there are restrictions as to use i.e. cannot sell, trade or resell the [Google] Services. So could you advise me what the difference between Flash vs SVG vs Java vs open source software? When I first investigated this area, my choice was limited to two - Flash or SVG and my original bias was towards SVG - mainly because of its connectivity to our various GIS platforms like MapInfo Professional and ArcView - software and data. However, I am completely puzzled now with the "introduction" of Java and also open source software like MapServer. I would appreciate whatever advice you have - appreciate this is an absolute minefield. Waiting in anticipation!

If nothing else, it could perhaps make some people aware of the issues. Maybe a standard questionaire could be set up on OSGEO & any replies posted there as well? Cheers, Brent Wood
