FOSS4G2007 IntegrationShowcase

Back to FOSS4G2007...

Introduction

The integration showcase will highlight the open source spirit of "coopetition" (cooperative competition) amongst the sponsors and exhibitors.

In order to ensure everything works "as planned" on the show floor, the integration showcase will be set up and running live on the internet well in advance of the conference. As each showcase participant goes "live" with their component, they must register it on this page, so that other participants can hook it into their own demonstrations. Low-level components, such as databases and mapping services, must go live first.

The coordinator for the showcase will be Justin Deoliveira, of the Open Planning Project. He will be contacting exhibitors and sponsors to make them aware of the showcase and how to participate.

Components

Data

Data will be provided by the Integrated Land Management Bureau of British Columbia. The data made available for this conference is not for public distribution, but for the purpose of this demonstration only.

PostGIS Database : Refractions Research

A PostGIS database containing the vector data will be put online by Refractions Research as soon as possible, and access provided to the integration showcase participants.

Mapbender : The WhereGroup

The WhereGroup will use the online OSGeo Mapbender instance at http://mapbender.telascience.org to build a catalog, interface, OGC capabilities cache, security proxy and web mapping interfaces to use the other IntegrationShowcase components in an unknown beast called spatial data infrastructure.
