Blueprints for the GIS Module
Table of Contents
Ideas
- Enable downloading of datasets (allows sharing of data with e.g. MapAction)
- CSV format?
- Shapefile format?
- Button in catalog? (location selector to optionally clip to)
- Also on Map? (clipped to viewport?)
- OpenStreetMap PoI Layers
- 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)
- Playable Timeline slider
- Roads resource: BluePrint/GIS/Routing
- Import Shapefiles
- Import Rasters
- gdal_polygonize: http://www.gdal.org/gdal_polygonize.html
Other Ideas
- Basic Tasks
- complete support for Mobile devices
- Integrate Risk in a Box
- complete moving of JS code from being generated 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 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)

To display Shapefiles & Images we currently need to install a 3rd party server. GeoServer is probably a better target than 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 Printing plugin
- OpenGeoSuite provides an integrated stack
- MapFish Studio
We should aim to be compatible with UN Logistics: http://www.logcluster.org/mapcenter/unsdi
