GearScape is a Geographic Information System platform dedicated to geoprocessing

---

En kort definition af GP: Geoproccessering går grundlæggende ud på at automatisere GIS opgaverne. Næsten alle former for GIS arbejde indebærer en stor del af gentagelser af de samme trin igen og igen. Dette skriger efter en eller anden form for maskineri til at definere og replikere disse processer. Geoprocessering er lige netop dette og indbefatter også dette at kunne kombinere flere af disse i serier af operationer. Denne process defineres vha. modeller og scripts ...

The fundamental purpose of geoprocessing is to allow you to automate your GIS tasks. Almost all uses of GIS involve the repetition of work, and this creates the need for methods to automate, document, and share multiple-step procedures known as workflows. Geoprocessing supports the automation of workflows by providing a rich set of tools and a mechanism to combine a series of tools in a sequence of operations using models and scripts. [See more]

ClearMaps: A Mapping Framework for Data Visualization

Tools to help you create thematic maps ...
/Sik

Quote

Despite the recent explosion of web based cartography tools, making effective maps for data visualization remains a challenge. While tools like Google Maps are great for helping navigate the world they are often poorly suited for thematic mapping, as many features like roads and cities only get in the way of telling compelling stories with data. In fact, even the distance between places can be a distraction – who cares how far away Alaska is when the goal is to make a simple comparison between US states?

To help overcome some of the limitations with existing mapping tools Sunlight Lab is releasing ClearMaps, an ActionScript framework for interactive cartographic visualization. In addition to giving designers and developers more control over presentation the project aims to address some of the common technical challenges faced when building interactive, data driven maps for the web. ClearMaps is designed as a lightweight, flexible set of tools for building complex data visualizations. It is a framework not a plug-and-play component (though it could be a starting point for those wishing to make reusable tools).

ArcBruTile display tiles from OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps, Google Maps and Geodan GeoServer in ArcGIS Desktop

Vil det virke på ArcGIS Server ...

Will it work on ArcGIS Server?
/Sik

Quote

ArcBruTile supports:

• all projections;
• client side caching.

Examples:
Local data can be combined with tiles from ArcBruTile, here we see United Nations Haiti Basemap Data from ArcGIS Online combined with the actual OpenStreetMap for Haiti.


ArcBruTile supports all projections, here we see the world from Bing Maps in the Dutch projection:


Google Maps is also supported:


Why ArcBruTile is developed:
Because ArcGIS, one of the most popular desktop GIS program around, lacks support for non-ESRI tile services, especially the increasingly popular OpenStreetMap maps. And because we're bored searching for the always slow or lost or broken disk/service with actual map reference data :-)
ArcBruTile also solves the projections problem: all tiles are transformed on the fly to the desired projection if needed. ArcBruTile makes it very easy to combine data
with different projections.

Equipped with a powerful blend of features, MapsGeek will guide you in the map's making and let you publish this map on your website, blog to illustrate your articles. Create, import or select your layers, add your data, tune the display and you're done !

Live data maps

Fri Jan 22, 2010 at 19:59

A grand new feature on MapsGeek today: the live mapping. In two words, the live mapping allow you to include the data to be mapped directly into the url used to call the map from your website! This allow data present on your website to be mapped live! Have a look at our example. Live mapping is available for everyone from the map interface for all geometrical layers.

The following map is generated live from this page. It shows the countries MapsGeek users are from. This page gathers the information, builds the URL and display the map.

Generating the script to build this map

The URL has to contain the following information :

• The map parameter, which is gvux92r58surqfkx for this map, you'll find this information on the Map Interface
• The l1 parameter, the live layer id, 1023 in our case, again found on the Map Interface
• The dl1 parameter, the data for the layer, generated by this page and using the following format: object1:value1;object2:value2;...

This page is written in PHP, here is the full script to generate this map:
// The base URL containing the map and l1 parameters and introducing the dl1
$url = "http://www.mapsgeek.com/live.php?map=gvux92r58surqfkx&l1=1023&dl1=";

// The query to gather the information
$query = "select COUNTRY, count(USERS) NBU from USERS group by COUNTRY";
$dbresult= mysql_query($query, $connection_to_database);

// The loop building the dl1 parameter
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($dbresult, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$obj = urlencode($row[COUNTRY]); //Encoding the country name, storing in $obj
$val = $row[nbu]; //Storing the number of users into $val
$url .= "$obj:$val;"; //Adding the $obj (country), followed by ':', the $val (number of users), ended by ';'
}

// Displaying the url obtained inside an image tag (and a link to mapsgeek page also)
print("");

?>

The URL obtained is :

http://www.mapsgeek.com/live.php?map=gvux92r58surqfkx&l1=1023&dl1=Argentina:2;Australia:5;Austria:1;Barbados:1;Belgium:6;Bolivia:1;Brazil:1;Bulgaria:1;Cameroon:1;Canada:9;China:1;Croatia:1;Czech+Republic:1;Ecuador:1;Faroe+Islands:1;Finland:1;France:75;Germany:3;Hungary:3;India:7;Indonesia:2;Ireland:1;Italy:7;Kuwait:1;Malaysia:1;Mali:1;Martinique:1;Mayotte:1;Mexico:1;Montserrat:1;Morocco:1;Netherlands:4;Nicaragua:1;Norway:1;Pakistan:1;Philippines:1;Portugal:2;Russia:1;Serbia:1;Spain:1;Switzerland:1;United+Kingdom:15;United+States:107;Venezuela:1;

OpenSimulator is a 3D Application Server. It can be used to create a virtual environment (or world) which can be accessed through a variety of clients, on multiple protocols. OpenSimulator allows you to develop your environment using the technologies you feel work best - we've designed the software to be easily extendable through loadable modules to build completely custom configurations. OpenSimulator is released under a BSD License, making it both open source, and commercially friendly to embed in products.

Out of the box, OpenSimulator can be used to simulate a virtual environment similar to Second Life™ (including client compatibility). Other environments, protocols and features are supported via add on modules. For a list of available modules check out our forge site.

Although OpenSimulator is still considered alpha software, many people are doing exciting things with it.

Features

Even though OpenSimulator is relatively young software it already has many useful features

• Supports creating multiple 'worlds' in a single application instance.
• Supports multiple clients and protocols - access the same world at the same time via multiple protocols.
• Extensive ability to customize your avatar, both with custom clothing, skins, and attached objects.
• Realtime Physics Simulation, with multiple engine options including ODE.
• The ability to create content real time in the environment using in world building tools. What you see is what you get.
• In world application development using a number of different languages, including LSL/OSSL, C#, JScript and VB.NET

Using OpenSimulator

The fastest way to get started using OpenSimulator is to create an account on OSGrid, then download the Hippo Viewer or Linden Lab's Second Life viewer (amongst others) to connect to OSGrid. This process should take no longer than 10 minutes, and will give you a flavor for what OpenSimulator is like.

You can also easily connect to any one of the many public grids on the internet.

Or you could run a simple standalone OpenSim on your Windows desktop to create and preview content. Here is a tutorial showing how to get opensimulator running in stand-alone mode..

Running your own OpenSimulator

If you are interested in running your own OpenSimulator server, to host your own 3D environments you'll want to check out the following links:

• Getting OpenSimulator
• Building OpenSimulator
• Configuring OpenSimulator
• Setting Up Mega-Regions
• Running OpenSimulator (Windows / Linux Scripts for Management & Operations)
• Console Commands
• Frequently Asked Questions in Running OpenSimulator
• Technical Reference Pages

Participating in the OpenSimulator Community

OpenSimulator is an open source project, and is powered by the community members that devote time and energy to the effort. There are many ways to participate and contribute to the community:

• Participate via IRC - #opensim (for users), #opensim-dev (for developers) and #opensim-scripts
• Participate via the mailing lists - opensim-users (for users) and opensim-dev (for developers).
• Contribute to this wiki, making the OpenSimulator documentation even better.
• Report bugs, submit patches or submit content contributions via our mantis bug tracker
• Create an OpenSimulator related project hosted on the Forge or elsewhere on the web. In the forge there are over a dozen registered projects, and it's a great way to further extend the OpenSimulator community.
• Participate to open content creation for OpenSimulator. More details at Artist Home.
• Blog about OpenSimulator, and let us know about that blog on #opensim so it can be added to Planet OpenSim
• Participate in one of the weekly Office Hours for OpenSimulator. We currently have weekly office hours for development, wiki work, and testing.
• Secure project infrastructure by donating to the OpenSim Project Infrastructure Fund.
