The MapBroker package provides the core engine behind various applications. They range from the ReachOut Youth Suicide Prevention site to the US Army Corp of Engineers pilot online floodplain management resource.
Mapbroker is a Java Beans library that allows JSP based applications to access multiple sources of geographic data and render them into interactive maps within any web application.
Core features include:
- Client side interactive features, or queries to remote map services
- Access data from remote services:
- OpenGIS Web Map Server compliant sources
- OpenGIS Web Feature Server compliant sources
- Static images (GIF, JPEG, PNG)
- Documents containing GML Feature Collections (OpenGIS standard XML encoding of spatial data)
- LDAP directories with location attributes
- Single XML file configuration of map contents
- API to control configuration and view within JSP pages
- Multi-threaded (simultaneous) access of data
- Server side integration option
- Deliver each map "layer" to client technologies separately
- Support for multiple map projections
- Allow user to access remote service metadata and OpenGIS Service Catalog to find new layers
- Easy integration with gazetteers,"find nearest" "address geocoding" services
MapBroker v 2.0 has been successfully deployed in a range of innovative projects over the last two years.

This application can extract geographic and subject information from a document or news channels on the Web and provide an instant overview of the locations referenced on a map display. Simple configuration allows you to link placename and subject information to other application modules, or even remote applications.
The engine allows you to build an entire network of Web applications around common geography and shared vocabularies. You could for example identify references in news feeds to severe weather and place names, and automatically provide maps of emergency routes, weather forecasts and other facilities from the resources at your disposal.
Includes the "MapBroker" engine, and can access OpenGIS compliant "Geoparser" and "Geocoder" services.

This application displays and allows interaction with a "Map Organiser" - a GML compliant document collection that manages relationships between spatial features and multimedia resources available on the Web.
The Map Organiser lets you combine spatial and non-spatial information sources in a single environment then manage and view them and their relationships. It enables invoking of additional applications on these information items, such as the "Geographic Discovery Engine".
The application can be used for many purposes:
- Personalisation of your Web access portal
- Publishing multi-media resources with interactive maps
- Collaborative analysis of spatial phenomena
- Archiving, retrieval and sharing of spatial information discovered from remote services
This application module includes the "Geographic Discovery Engine" so you can create a folder automatically by analysing documents or news channels.

Mapwrap v 1.0
This is a simple wrapper which can used to convert a Map Server installation into an Open GIS compliant Web Map Server.
It is open source, licensed under the GNU General Public License. The files can be downloaded from http://webmap.socialchange.net.au/downloads/mapwrap-4.2.tar.gz or http://webmap.socialchange.net.au/downloads/mapwrap-4_2.zip.

This is a perl program that will convert various sources (like
databases) and produce GIF or XML, which can be
incorporated into the CANRI interoperable webmapping framework.The
protocol that Dslite uses to serve up the
maplayers (CSGI), can be easily upgraded to the new GML standards (see http://www.gmlcentral.com)
provided by the Open GIS Consortium, to make it fully conformant to OGC
specifications.
If you want to serve ESRI shapefiles, we suggest using our Mapwrap
utility ( see above) instead since this is better
supported.
Dslite is open source, licensed under the GNU General Public License.
The files can be downloaded from:
http://webmap.socialchange.net.au/downloads/dslite-1.0.tar.gz or
