A comparison of open source geospatial technologies for web mapping

The past decade has witnessed a steady growth of open source software usage in industry and academia, leading to a complex ecosystem of projects. Web and subsequently geographical information systems have become prominent technologies, widely adopted in diverse domains. Within this context, we developed an open source web platform for interoperable GIServices. In order to implement this archite...

Geospatial Framework for Dengue Using Open Source Web Gis Technology

Surveillance of fatal disease increasingly realise on geographic information (Spatial and Temporal factors). We develop a web based geographical information system for online dengue and DHF mapping that is distributed, loosely coupled, interoperable and ultimately provide a real time, dynamic way to represent disease information on map. Hospital have access to password protected data entry func...

Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial Applications (FOSS4G): A Mature Alternative in the Geospatial Technologies Arena

The creativity, dynamism and high-profile success stories of the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and FOSS for Geospatial applications (FOSS4G) movements are attracting increasing attention from end users, developers, businesses, governments, educators and researchers around the world (e.g. Weber 2004, Walli et al. 2005, CRM-Reviews 2006, Faber 2007). Free Software refers to liberty, not pr...
