[mapserver-users] OSOpenData

[Brent Fraser]

Lester,


   To get started, assuming you have downloaded the data, you could use GDAL's 
ogrtindex (or gdaltindex for raster) to create a mapserver TILEINDEX of the 
thousands of map tiles...

   There will be lots of other issues:
	- for a particular dataset, are all the .dbf files the same? (a requirement for 
a TILEINDEX)
	- is there metadata describing the attributes? (to make the CLASS creation easier)
	- etc

The desired quality of your output will determine how far you'll have to dig 
into the data...

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
