Shapefile Layers

Upload a Shapefile to display on the map.

Options:

• Upload to GeoServer co-app & add a layer which accesses this via WMS/WFS (although the UI should show in the 'Shapefiles layers' section)
  • ​http://docs.geoserver.org/2.0.0/user/extensions/rest/rest-config-examples-curl.html#uploading-a-shapefile
  • ​https://github.com/dwins/gsconfig.py
• Import Features
  • Can use the Python bindings for GDAL/OGR as we do for the GADM importer

We can include ​TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.zip as a useful base/sample

Alternative options:

• Integrate ​FeatureServer
• Integrate ​Ogre - convert to GeoJSON for easy import
• Build a .map file for ​MapServer using ​Python MapScript
