Blueprints for the GIS Module
We use OpenLayers to display Maps with some GeoExt widgets.
Ideas:
- Beginner-level tasks
- Color coded maps according to Geo-data (threats, needs, etc)
- 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)
- Having a playable timeline slider (like http://haiti.ushahidi.com/main)
- Integrating Walking Papers (http://walking-papers.org/) functionality into Sahana
- Merge http://healthscapes.org Geolytics toolkit
- Mapping API
- Layers
- GIS Map Catalog
- Proxy
- Import/Export
- Locations Hierarchy
- Geolocator
- GoogleGears
- GoogleEarth
- Grid
- HeatMap
- Libraries
- Markers
- Mobile
- Projections
- Printing
- Real-Time Tracking
- Rectifier
- Routing
- Search
- Spatial Storage
- TileCache
- Time Play
- UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
- Upload Photos - with GPX Track & use timestamps to place associated features onto the map
- WebMapContext
To display Shapefiles & Images we 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
