The GeoMOOSE project is client-side code that uses a variety of JavaScript,
XML, and DHTML technologies to interface with other web-clients. The primary
target of GeoMoose is for integration with the UofM MapServer, but it is not dependent
upon it for operation.

Design objectives include:
   * Code must be developed in an Services Oriented Architecture.
   * Configureability for users.
   * Easy maintenance for data owners.
   * A client interface for MapServer, but designed to be open to other server engines.
   * Targeted use cases for local governments.
