Add new geoweb services

Open JasonSanford opened this issue 13 years ago • 8 comments

It would be quite easy to add new geoweb service providers to what's here currently (AGS, A2E, GeoIQ). Some other options are:

What about geoserver for self-hosted data?

What protocol would you expect to fetch data from GeoServer? WFS, WMS, etc?

JasonSanford avatar Dec 20 '11 16:12 JasonSanford

I'd expect WFS would be best for vector data but it does look a little heavyweight. Maybe a simple json server to return PostGIS data would be easier.

Yeah, I'd be interested in the latter. If someone else is interested in writing something to query/parse a WFS service I'd be glad to add it.

What about MapFish protocol ? http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/MapFishProtocol

Yep, I think this could easily be added. Created a separate issue at #36.

Maybe GeoCouch JSON data from CouchDB would be simple to implement?

Seems reasonable. bbox search is available which is really all that is needed. Created a separate issue at #37.
