The Community Mapbuilder allows users to enter geographic features in a web browser, save it to a server along with other features, then present the features back as a map layer in a web browser.

This page showcases MapServer applications from all over the world. Please feel free to look at these examples. We hope that you come away with an idea or two for implementing your own MapServer application. If you have projects that you'd like to include here, even if they're not generally accessible, then please contact the MDP Coordinator at "mdp at lists.gis.umn.edu".

MapServer is an OpenSource development environment for building spatially enabled Internet applications. The software builds upon other popular OpenSource or freeware systems like Shapelib, FreeType, Proj.4, libTIFF, Perl and others. MapServer will run where most commercial systems won't or can't, on Linux/Apache platforms. MapServer is known to compile on most UNIXes and will run under Windows NT/98/95.

GML4J is a Java API for facilitating work with the Geography Markup Language (http://www.gmlcentral.com). GML is an XML-based framework for encoding geography information adopted as a recommendation paper by OGC (http://www.opengis.org).

CGEO is a multi-platform C framework for creating GIS applications

CityBuilder is an attempt to automate much of the work involved in creating large virtual urban landscapes. The system takes a street map as input, and produces street geometry and a scene graph as output. Applications include games (think GTA*), etc.

Provide the building blocks for a GIS system consistent with the current standards from OGIS©

A DHTML interface to the MapServer GIS engine. (Get MapServer at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu). MapSurfer allows interactive display, panning, and zooming of geographic data along with feature querying. See http://www.scign.org/mapsurfer/mapsurfer/
