Introduction
The FOSS4G 2007 Conference is the annual conference of the OSGeo Foundation. The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference is the Meeting of the Tribes. This year it will take place in Victoria Canada from September 24 to 27. All OSGeo projects will be represented there with workshops, presentations, development sprints and informal meetings. Professional businesses will show their services and present cutting edge FOSSGIS technology in productive environments. Users will show what they have done and what is planned for the future, a lot of tech talk will shy away too many suits. Maybe. But more than that it will be a place to meet and talk and have fun doing it (the suits too).
Mapbender Presentations
This section is dedicated to the development of Mapbender Presentation Submissions for FOSS4G 2007.
Intrduction and Background
Mapbender (still) is the only management environment that bridges the gap between services and clients with a comprehensive user and permission management. Several proprietary and Open Source software packages do that but they only provide full functionality with "their own" services. Mapbender is implemented completely independent of any services and therefore binds all of them in the same comprehensive manner. In order to strengthen the project these "unique selling points" should be the focus of future development. The Mapbender team will try to place three presentations at the FOSS4G conference to underline these three areas of interest.
Content and titles of the presentations are open for development.
- Hardened SDI. Security in an Open Architecture
- Service Metadata
- Orchestration, Geoportals, Broker and spatially enabled SOA
Hardened SDI. Security in an Open Architecture
Use of OWS Proxy functionality, protocol encryption and authentication to implement secure access to spatial data. Current tools, strategies, limits and productive environments.
Service Metadata
How service metadata ties in with catalogs and search engines to implement search functionality, manage resultsets, bind services and learn for the next query.
Orchestration
How to orchestrate web mapping services in a Geoportal and manage a spatially enabled SOA.
