<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi there,<div><br></div><div>we've developed a couple of years ago a SVG application, which enables some interactivity between the graphs, maps and tables. Now, seeing more and more interactive applications out there (OECD Data Explorer, IMF, World Bank etc.), which are almost all based on Flex and Flash, I wonder where we stand nowadays. </div><div><br></div><div>I mean, if you would have to develop a data portal, which enables the visualization of (statistical and geospatial) data in form of maps, graphics and tables; and you would want the user to for example hover over a country, getting directly a bar or line chart visualizing the evolution of this dataset over the last 30 years. How would you do that? Are there opensource packages out there which can do that?</div><div><br></div><div>We've always been into opensource; so, if possible, I would like to avoid Flash. Furthermore as we don't have any Flash developer.</div><div><br></div><div>Then, on the other side, there is ArcGIS Server with Flex frontend. Slick, very nice. That's in principal what I would want (more or less)...</div><div><br></div><div>Can anyone give me some hints, comments, suggestions?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot!</div><div><br></div><div>Stef</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;
