= Blueprints for the GIS Module = [[TOC]] DeveloperGuidelines/GIS == Ideas == * Enable downloading of datasets (allows sharing of data with e.g. [http://mapaction.org MapAction]) * CSV format? * Shapefile format? * Button in catalog? (location selector to optionally clip to) * Also on Map? (clipped to viewport?) * [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/OSMLayers OpenStreetMap PoI Layers] * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenLayers_Dynamic_POI * Can we use same DB as generates Tiles? * Styler for GeoJSON Layers (Stats layers. These should just work? test Demographics that come with Vulnerability. Deprecate Theme layers completely? Need Importer) * Subfolders in Layer Tree (enable/disable together) * Having a [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/TimePlay playable Timeline slider] * works with Stats layers & S3Track * Roads resource - Routable * can calculate walking/driving distances. (Include Topology where-available) * http://project-osrm.org * http://sourceforge.net/projects/gosmore/ * Can we use same DB as generates Tiles? Webservice? * Import Shapefiles * Import Rasters * gdal_polygonize: http://www.gdal.org/gdal_polygonize.html == Other Ideas == * [wiki:Contribute/Code#GISMapping Basic Tasks] * complete [BluePrintMobileClient#Mapping support for Mobile devices] * Integrate [http://riskinabox.org Risk in a Box] * complete moving of JS code from being generated [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/browser/modules/s3/s3gis.py#L1857 server-side] to [static http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/browser/static/scripts/S3/s3.gis.js] (for caching & easier maintenance) * Placing variable sized markers on the map in proportion to data (number of people in camp, number of families needing food) * Tracking people ( John Smith was registered at Camp A, then collected food at Camp B, then volunteers at Site C), or Items (The shipment of Tarpaulins moved from site C to site D, where it was split, and then half of them have been distributed from site E) * Identify core [wiki:BluePrintGIStools GIS tools] * Integrating Walking Papers ([http://walking-papers.org/]) functionality into Sahana * Merge http://skapes.org Geolytics toolkit * Include radio station footprints (VHF inc broadcast - like RadioMobile) == List == * [wiki:BluePrintGISAPI Mapping API] * [wiki:BluePrintGISLocationSelector Location Selector] * [wiki:BluePrintGISLocationsHierarchy Locations Hierarchy] * [wiki:BluePrintGISLocationsSearch] * [wiki:BluePrintGISPermalink] * [wiki:BluePrintGISGeolocator Geocoder] * Layers * [wiki:BluePrintGISFeatureLayers Features] * [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/FluTrends Flu Trends] * [wiki:BluePrintGISGeoRSSLayers GeoRSS] * [wiki:BluePrintGISGoogle Google] * [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/ImageLayers Images] * [wiki:BluePrintGISKMLLayers KML] * [wiki:BluePrintGISOSMLayers OSM] * [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/ShapefileLayers Shapefiles] * [wiki:BluePrintGISSOSLayers SOS] * [wiki:BluePrintGISTMSLayers TMS] * [wiki:BluePrintGISWMSLayers WMS] * [wiki:BluePrintGISWFSLayers WFS] * [wiki:BluePrintGISFeedsCaching Feeds Caching] * [wiki:BluePrintGISGeoExplorer GeoExplorer] * [wiki:BluePrintGISGoogleGears GoogleGears] * [wiki:BluePrintGISGoogleEarth GoogleEarth] * [wiki:BluePrintGISGPSSharing GPS Sharing] * [wiki:BluePrintGISGrid Grid] * [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/HeatMap HeatMap] * [wiki:BluePrintGISImportExport Import/Export] * [wiki:BluePrintGISLibraries Libraries] * [wiki:BluePrintGISMapCatalog Map Catalog] * [wiki:BluePrintGISMarkers Markers] * [wiki:BluePrintGISMobile Mobile] * [wiki:BluePrintGISPrinting Printing] * [wiki:BluePrintGISProjections Projections] * [wiki:BluePrintGISProxy Proxy] * [wiki:BluePrintGISRealTimeTracking Real-Time Tracking] * [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/Rectifier Rectifier] * [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/Routing Routing] * [wiki:BluePrintGISSearch Search] * [wiki:BluePrintGISStorage Spatial Storage] * [wiki:BluePrintGISTileCache TileCache] * [wiki:BluePrint/GIS/TimePlay Time Play] * [wiki:BluePrintGISUAV UAV] - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles * [wiki:BluePrintGISUploadPhotos Upload Photos] - with GPX Track & use timestamps to place associated features onto the map * [wiki:BluePrintGISWebMapContext WebMapContext] To display Shapefiles & Images we need to install a 3rd party server. [http://geoserver.org GeoServer] is probably a better target than [http://mapserver.org MapServer] * !GeoServer has a great in-built Admin UI * !GeoServer can be configured via REST rather than !MapScript if we wish to control from within Eden itself * !GeoServer uses !OpenLayers as native preview * !GeoServer has a [http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Printing+2.0+HOWTO Printing plugin] * [http://opengeosuite.org OpenGeoSuite] provides an integrated stack * [http://mapfishblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/studio-beta-for-mapfile-manager.html MapFish Studio] We should aim to be compatible with UN Logistics: http://www.logcluster.org/mapcenter/unsdi == Similar == Ideas from here could be useful: * http://www.cmu.edu/silicon-valley/dmi/research/projects/open-cop/index.html * http://geoportal.logcluster.org (Also written using GeoExt) * http://ikimap.com * http://mapsgeek.com * http://mapchat.ca * http://apps.geomajas.org/showcase/ * http://www.pdc.org/atlas/ * http://africamap.harvard.edu * http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/apps/OLExamples/Index/index.html The original GIS module was described here: * http://wiki.sahanafoundation.org/doku.php?id=dev:gis_infra === See Also === * [wiki:DeveloperGuidelinesGIS DeveloperGuidelinesGIS] * [wiki:UserGuidelinesGIS UserGuidelinesGIS]
