Short Stack
• PostGIS
– (open source Oracle Spatial, basically)
• Openlayers
– (open source equivalent to ArcGIS’ javascript
mapping client for AGS)
• No mapserver or geoserver for rendering,
rendered in client
Open standards for delivery
• Uses KML
– an OGC standard now, though originally
developed for Google Earth.
• Could use GeoJSON, which might parse
faster than XML in the browser.
• KML used due to easy support in
OpenLayers
• OpenStreetMap for base layer
