Full Text
Share
MapFish is an open-source development framework for building webmapping
applications. MapFish is based on the OpenLayers API and the
Geo extension of Ext library, and extends the Pylons general-purpose web
development framework with geo-specific functionnalities. This
presentation first describes what the MapFish development framework
provides and how it can help developers implement rich web-mapping
applications. It then demonstrates through real web-mapping realizations
what can be achieved using MapFish : Geo Business Intelligence
applications, 2D/3D data visualization, on/off line data edition, advanced
vectorial print functionnalities, advanced administration suite to build
WebGIS applications from scratch, etc. In particular, the web-mapping
application for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and a Regional Spatial
Data Infrastructure will be demonstrated
