MapBuilder is a powerful, standards compliant, open source geographic mapping client which runs in a web browser.
Using MapBuilder, Web designers can concentrate on the presentation and usability using HTML with simple links to the MapBuilder JavaScript code using HTML element IDs, with additional presentation information provided using CSS and XSL. The content and style of the maps themselves will often be defined using Web Map Context documents although the modular design framework allows MapBuilder to work with many other document types.
CRAN Task View: Analysis of Spatial Data -
Base R includes many functions that can be used for reading, vizualising, and analysing spatial data. The focus in this view is on "geographical" spatial data, where observations can be identified with geographical locations, and where additional information about these locations may be retrieved if the location is recorded with care. Base R functions are complemented by contributed packages, some of which are on CRAN, and others on the R-spatial sourceforge repository. The contributed packages address two broad areas: moving spatial data into and out of R, and analysing spatial data in R.
Deegree offers the substantial building blocks for the building of a Spatial Data Infrastructure by implementing the standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and ISO/TC 211.
