The FreeGIS.net Virtual Machine is a solid proof of the applicability of the work done in the FreeGIS.net project.
In the scope of this project many activities were undertaken to reach this point. Among them are
- the analysis and implementation of the features required by INSPIRE in MapServer, a leading map generating software. Of particular interest were the implementation of multilingual capabilities a improvements in the layer structure as exposed through WMS. A detailed report on this work item is the subject of a separate report included in this DVD.
- the analysis and implementation of many additions to HALE, a powerful data harmonization and transformation tool, including substantial improvements in the scalability and performance of the software. This work is described in major detail in a report of it's own.
- numerous enhancements to the GisClient web mapping software, which is used as a gentle shell for most of the included server side GIS software.
- the FreeGIS.net Viewer, a client based on openlayers which communicates with the server only through OGC-Standards
- packaging many GIS software packages for the popular RPM package manager found in current enterprise Linux distributions.
Working installation of the above mentioned software in the FreeGIS.net Virtual Machine.
The virtual machine can be downloaded in two different flavours, depending on the virtualization software installed on your PC.
