[Geomoose-users] OpenWebGIS

[Brent Fraser]

bobb,

The workflow in OpenWebGIS is fairly straightforward:
     1. User clicks button/menu item to invoke service
     2. App displays dialog of options for service (including new layer 
name)
     3. App invokes service on server with parameters
     4. Service sends image (or vectors?)
     5. App creates new layer and displays results

I think Geomoose has most of this in place (dunno about the "creates new 
layer" and delete layer functions), although currently the standard is 
to use a tab instead of a dialog.

The Save/Load Project has some interesting implications (save XML on the 
server and cookie on the client?) for the service layers created by the 
user.

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Maybe even packaging up something as a productivity stack with corresponding services, etc.  I’m unsure about whether this is a GeoMOOSE community thing or should be left to some other third party to move it into existence.  There seems to be other similar efforts already underway as well.
