Hello!

I'm doing a study to see wether mapserver/PostGis could be used in the =
following project:

North-Troendelag (www.ntfk.no) is within its borders responsible for CRM =
(Cultural heritage; archaeology). We have a lot of active amateur =
archaeologists/historians who collect information about warious types of =
sites. We wish to collect this data into a central database; and allow =
these people to enter this data through a webpage. Included in the data =
we want is ofcourse the location of a site; i.e coordinates - points.

Could mapserver and postgis be used for this. I.e allow a user - after =
logging in! - to search or select a location - zooming in to it in a =
suitable scale (1:50000 or 1:5000 maps could be available depending on =
location within the county) - click on the desired location on the map - =
after which the coordinates is entered into a database record (i.e =
postgis). This will happen somwhere in the prosess when the user creates =
a record of a site. Best would probably be a kind of "guide"!

Each user should be able to keep a record of the sites he/she has =
entered; and be able to "map" this - i.e create a hardcopy map showing =
all the locations they have "mapped". (One rason for this is that =
farmers in Norway now has to create an "environment plan" for their =
farms - including all archaeology/CRM sites on the farm).

Possible/Not possible? Pitfalls?

(I've talked to our local ESRI rep. And this could be done in =
ArcIms/Oracle-spatial; but at a price!! (and beside I use Linux at home, =
so an OS solution is welcome).)

regards
larsf
