[Mapserver-users] geoworld

[Dave McIlhagga]

Thanks Lowell.

At all times, any news is good news -- just unfortunate that the overall 
emphasis was on the data serving, but I think at least half of the news 
here is the application and software that showcases it.  This data has 
been accessible for quite some time, but there has never been a 
respectable interface to access it -- I think you'll discover this has 
changed considerably when it formally gets released to the public 
(hopefully sometime in September).

FYI CubeServ is a proprietary alternative to Oracle Spatial that has a 
major emphasis on compliance with OGC specifications.  In this case, the 
WMS service is used to draw the maps and make them accessible to the 
MapServer/Chameleon application.

There should be some more news coming out soon enough on more Chameleon 
applications.  I'll send out a link when we have some demonstration 
applications and client applications to showcase.
