Depending on the type of data and how you want to visualize it, I've
found MapServer to be an excellent tool.<br>
<br>
If designed correctly inside of a larger system, it's quite capable of
operating as the main integration piece as far as visualization of the
data. Adding in other services to the visualization aspect would be
the way I would advise you to add in other data functionalities.<br>
<br>
Without know what sort of data you are trying to distribute and/or
visualize, it's hard to tell you much more than this.<br>
<br>
There are a lot of pieces to a Datawarehouse for example, are you
interested in:<br>
<ul>
<li>The backend Data Mainatenance</li>
<li>The Visualization of the data</li>
<ul>
<li>Either as a map, or . .</li>
<li>As a Map Overlay</li>
<li>Or even as a Graph of some sort</li>
</ul>
<li>The spatialization of data (geocoding like functions, assigning
locations to exsiting data)</li>
<li>Spatial Query Mechanisms</li>
<li>Client Access Tools,</li>
<ul>
<li>Web Browsers</li>
<li>Application Extensions</li>
<li>Static output, reports, etc.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br>
I'm problably not getting everything, but you get the idea.<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Bob, dear Paul,
I apologize for not having decoded the DWH abbreviation I used in my posting.
DWH means DataWareHouse.
Yours,

<pre wrap="">Tomasz,
First off, what is "DHW" , I get a couple of hit in GOOGLE about it
concerning Housing and Health & Welfare. But that's it.
What type of data is it that you are trying to render?

<pre wrap="">Dear Friends,
My name is Tomasz Adamczewski, I am an Assistant Lecturer and a Research
Faculty Member and Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of Information
Technology of the Karol Adamiecki Higher School of Economics in Katowice,
Poland.
My doctoral project, whose working title reads: "MapServer as a Tool
Supporting Data Analysis in Data Warehouses. Towards New Applications of
DM
Solutions Open Source Geospacial Rendering Software," focuses upon the
application of the software developed by your Community as an interface
supporting the analysis of DWH data for such purposes as index analysis,
asset management, marketing, etc. So far, the problems concerning GIS-DWH
integration have been addressed by a highly limited number of scientists
and
IT specialists (e.g.: INCO-COPERNICUS Project No. 977091 – a
cooperative
project between Technical University Vienna, Czech Technical University
Prague; Lumare GIS, Ltd.; Technical University of Kosice, University GH
Essen, and VEGA, Ltd., completed in 2001, and Japanese projects). It is
especially in the context of the application and implementation of Open
Source tools for such purposes that very little has been published.
I would be very grateful for your kind assistance in becoming acquainted
with what has been done in the field by Community members; I will
appreciate
any published materials (pdf, electronic or other), backchannel e-mail
exchange or any information concerning possible partcipation in
conferences
organized by Community members as well as instructions on how to
contribute
projects to the future Foundation.
New to the group, I would like to humbly ask for initial guidance
concerning
the netiquette and customs of the Community.
With all my best regards,
Tomash
