Publisher review:PrimaGIS is a collaborative web mapping application for Plone. PrimaGIS is a mapping solution meant primarily as a spatial extension for Archetypes based objects. The idea is to allow existing Archetypes based objects to be presented on predefined maps and allow users to easily access this spatial information in relation to the primary information of the objects.
It is possible to have non-AT objects as data items also. PrimaGIS is not a standalone application, but builds on top of Mapserver, Python Cartographic Library (PCL) and Cartographic Objects for Zope (ZCO).
Features:
- Geo-aware proxy objects for spatially enabling any ArcheTypes based content object, that allows them to be used as data for the map without need for modify the original objects.
- IGeoAware interface for making custom objects work as spatial data for PrimaGIS maps.
- AJAX style background communication for efficient map rendering. All AJAX (and DOM) operations are done using the excellent MochiKit library.
- Info-on-map using JavaScript popups with the overlib-library. Moving on location on the map will popup a small window showing information for the referred object(s).
- Extension classes for ArcheTypes developers for creating natively geo-aware objects usable as-is with PrimaGIS.
- Zooming, drag panning, previous view, session-based default view.
- Named views for creating easy access to points of interest on the maps. The views (PrimaGISView objects) also implement the IGeoAware interface, so you can just put them in a PrimaGISDataLayer to visualize them on the map in addition to using them for navigation.
