GeoREST is a web-centric framework for distributing geospatial data. It allows RESTful feature-based access to spatial data sources, including full editing capabilities, through a MapGuide server or directly via FDO.
Examples of data sources:
- SHP
- SDF
- SQLite (FDO)
- PostGIS
- Oracle Spatial
- Microsoft SQL Server Spatial
- MySQL
- Any other FDO vector data source
Example output formats:
- GeoJSON
- XML
- PNG (MapGuide layers only)
- HTML (Template)
- KML (Template)
- GeoRSS (Template)
- CSV (Template)
- Any other templatable text-based format
Getting Started:
External resources discussing GeoREST:
- Dzenana Muracevic Dissertation "Metoda integracije geoprostornih podataka sa poslovnim inteligentnim sistemima bazirana na servis orijentiranoj arhitekturiā
- Jason's initial announcement of the City of Nanaimo's public GeoREST implementation
- Jason's blog post and slide deck discussing the benefits and genuine need for resource-based geodata on the web.
- Geoff Zeiss' presentation from FOSS4G2009 An Open Architecture for RESTful Geospatial Web Services
GeoREST would not be possible without many underlying open source libraries, including:
- MapGuide : an OSGeo web mapping project
- FDO : an OSGeo spatial data access library
- POCO : next generation c++ class libraries for network-centric applications
- CTemplate : a simple but powerful template language for C++
- libkml : an implementation of the OGC KML 2.2 standard
